The most difficult motorcycle to manufacture is a machine that is a pleasure to ride in practically any situation - a motorcycle created for the real world of motorcycling.
BMW's philosophy has always been to produce dedicated roadsters that hardly ever reveal all their qualities in the first five minutes of riding. Once you have lived with a BMW you begin to understand the philosophy.
The BMW R850 R Classic is the embodiment of this thinking. Powered by the smallest capacity boxer engine in BMW's current range, the 848cc flat-twin is extremely easy to ride and control. It is the perfect machine for born-again bikers, or experienced riders requiring a fuss-free, all-purpose, commuting and fun machine in one easy to ride package
The R850 R Classic is a more classicly styled BMW. In part it is similar to the 2002 model year R850 R, from where it derives its oil cooler, oil cooler pipes, tank and seat.
The engine and gearbox come from the standard R850 R that was for sale in the UK during 2003 and the front and rear spring struts come from the R1150 R Rockster. The high-rise handlebar is the same as on the special version produced for the police.
The 848cc air and oil-cooled flat-twin, four-stroke engine is rated at 53kW (70bhp) at 7000 rpm with maximum torque of 78Nm at 5600 rpm. Power is transmitted by a six-speed gearbox. Up front is the EVO braking system with 320mm dual discs and four-piston caliper.
Ride an R850 R and you will soon appreciate the generous steering lock, low centre of gravity (thanks to that flat-twin engine), soft-tune motor and responsive throttle that makes the R850 R such an easy machine to ride. Excellent manoeuvrability and agility belie the machine?s capacity rating.
On the open road the R850 R Classic is a fatigue-free and comfortable bike to ride. Aerodynamic qualities, combined with BMW's unique Telelever front suspension, ensure that the R850 R is one of the most stable naked machines available. At cruising speeds, rider input is minimal.
As you would expect from BMW, a full range of special equipment, dedicated luggage and accessories, as well as ABS and heated grips is available. The R850 R Classic is available only in Night Black with a black seat.
