Conclusion - what gets stuck

Wonderful, this BMW R1200 R. Not only beautiful, fast and safe, but also potent enough for an Alpine tour. Of course, this requires a suitcase system, which goes quite well into the money at BMW. And just a touring disc, which is to be used in the secondary market (e.B. MRA) for about 150 euros. In the mountains you should ride the other bikers quite nicely around the ears, because the 1200s brings everything you need: strength, agility, agility and above all the feeling of security that you can't really do much with this bike.

A like no

What's left in the end? Well, whoever buys and drives this motorcycle will have a real exotic despite an improved handler network. See another Turismo SCS at a motorcycle meeting? Rather not.

Good taste makes you lonely, you could put it, but it's even better: you don't have to suffer for this choice, there are no compromises in everyday life, and the quality of the workmanship despite the small series is not. And the SCS? Well, there is no way to do without it (and the heavy surcharge). The beautiful exhaust is preserved. :)

The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann and Söhne in Hamburg.
