Woodcliff Lake, NJ – September 21, 2015…The BMW R 1200 R has been named one of the “10 Best 2015 Motorcycles” by Ultimate MotorCycling editor Don Williams.
In his annual Editor’s Choice article, Williams writes, "With the 2016’s showing up in full swing and the 2015 models disappearing from our fleet, it’s time to assess the 10 Best 2015 Motorcycles…I ride a wide range of motorcycles, and love every genre on two wheels. Some people specialize, but I have access to almost every motorcycle made, so why limit myself."
Commenting on BMW’s new roadster, Williams observes, “…BMW has gone back to basics while forging ahead. Taking the 125 horsepower liquid-cooled motor from the GS and RT, and then putting it in a chassis with inverted forks. I greatly enjoyed the power and predictable handling of the R 1200 R, especially with the Dynamic ESA and Shift Assistant Pro. There are few motorcycles more comfortable for all-day rides, be they in the crowded city or open rural runs…”
We couldn’t agree more!
