It’s a very good car with almost no shortcomings. BMW’s motorcycles are very powerful.
The handlebar position is lower and wider than before, creating a sporty riding posture. The front fender and cylinder shape have also been redesigned. The dual front and rear seats allow the rider to choose a thinner seat cushion to lower the seat height, and the passenger can also choose a thicker and more comfortable seat cushion.
The concept of frame fine-tuning is the same as that of R1100R. Both the engine and gearbox are connected to the front and rear frames respectively to achieve the purpose of strengthening. The length of the tail shock absorber Paravlever is slightly shorter than before. The tail rocker arm is directly connected to the six-speed "near-tooth" gearbox. The driver still uses a dry monolithic hydraulic design.
The headlights have three different angles: high, medium and low, which is one more choice than ordinary cars. The electroplated dial is so luxurious, and the clock in the middle is so big. The layout of the switch box is consistent with BMW style.
Double oil-cooled heat dissipation grids are integrated with the enlarged oil cylinder. This design is eye-opening, so right.
BMW’s patented Telelever front fork steel tube rocker arm has been improved. The overall control feeling has been improved. The previous lack of road feel from BMW's front wheels has been improved.
Even if you are blindfolded and lifted onto the R1150R, you and I can immediately tell that the boxer engine is operating as soon as we get off the car. The two giant pistons on the left and right punched each other like boxers, causing the car body to shake from left to right. When the fuel is empty, it is impossible for anyone to ignore the swing of the car body. It is such an exclusive enjoyment that friends who ride Japanese cars will hate it...
The new EVO power assist braking system has been selected There are dual brake discs with a larger diameter, and the materials of the calipers and force pads have also been improved. According to factory data, the operating force is reduced by 15%, but the braking performance is improved by 20%, and the component weight is reduced by 10%. But I will say that the braking force is a bit unreasonable. With the electric pump-assisted braking force, I can't feel the degree of the caliper biting the force disc at all. It is difficult to adjust the braking force in detail. It seems to be urgent as soon as the force is pressed. The brake-like braking force, coupled with the powerful engine traction and the sensitive electronic fuel injection system, require a lot of hard work to adjust the vehicle speed smoothly. If the back seat passengers like to play roller coasters and other amusement rides, I will definitely make them scream with joy.
The most interesting INTEGRAL ABS integrated anti-deadlock braking system" is the first to have the special performance of "adaptive learning". When the rider pulls the front brake lever, the integrated system continuously monitors the tire load and road grip, thereby adjusting and distributing the braking force of the rear caliper. However, simply pressing the tail brake will not activate this system. The purpose is to leave a little control space for the driver to fully utilize the control characteristics of a sports car. There is no doubt that the braking performance of R1150R is very strong, which reduces the technical requirements for the rider.
The top speed of the R1150R is about 197km/h, and it takes about 4.2 seconds to go from 0 to 100km/h. This is of course not what I tested, but what I quoted from the manufacturer’s information and said directly from the book. With a Muscle Bike of nearly 1200cc, the data can be considered below the standard. In actual riding, the R1150R, which boasts strong mid-range torque, failed to awe the R1150R with its acceleration force at more than 5,000 rpm in three waves. While cleaning the oil, my eyes still have time to look at the exquisite plating on the dial....
