Stock# ZJ654042004 BMW R 1150 R Rockster, only 7239 miles,very nice example of this increasingly rare motorcycle, cylinder head covers,comes with Rear Metalized Seat Cover and stock pillion seat,handguards,heated grips,The newfound snarl of the R1150R is enhanced by a menacing black and orange paint scheme (also available in lime and black) and a pseudo-fairing cluster that houses a pair of offset headlamps and the instrument panel. Clear turn signals round out the custom appearance and the end result is a rowdy, low-slung Beemer that looks the part of a lean, mean, twisty-eating machineThe Rockster uses the same power plant in the R1150R. All boxer engines except for the 1200 come with dual-spark ignition (beginning in 2003), which makes for a big improvement over former models that jerked when throttled in a constant position at lower speeds and rpm, as in downtown traffic. Thoroughly modified, this behavior disappeared this year, judging from our experience on the test bike. The dual spark also provides better combustion and lower emissions. The men (and women) from Munich have modified the six-speed gearbox again for better shifting comfort, too. And it seems they've exceeded their goal. Like never before, switching gears has become as easy a task as it is to operate the single-plate dry clutch.The air- and oil-cooled twin is fun to ride to boot. It pulls strong from low rpm, gets a second kick at 4,000, and revs quickly up to almost 7,000. With no flat spot exhibited in the power curve, you feel the bike makes more than the claimed 85 horses. That fits its street-fighter character. The modern fuel injection deals with all kinds of changes like altitude, air pressure, cold, or heat. Even if the thermometer dips into the 30's and 20's, the bike starts without hesitation. You still have to adjust a choke lever, even with the fuel injection, but that's not a big deal. Just wait a few miles before taking it completely back.For more info please call Steele's Cycle at 303-781-5339 or visit our showroom for a test ride!
