The BMW R1200RS is a sport-touring motorcycle produced by BMW Motorrad. The Sports Tourer is largely based on the liquid-cooled roadster R1200R (series K53, FIN 0A04 Tool). The bike was presented in September 2014 at the Intermot.[1][2] The road-oriented allrounder is equipped with a boxer engine and assembled at the BMW plant in Berlin. Production began on 9 February 2015 and was launched on 12 May 2015[3] at a base price of EUR 13,500.[4] The internal factory code is K54.

For the 2019 Model Year, the R1200RS was succeeded by the R1250RS.
