EICMA 2009: BMW R1200R 40 Years of Berlin
Ich bin ein Berliner
The “40 Years of Berlin” anniversary R1200R was built to mark four decades of production from the Berlin-Spandau plant. BMW outfitted the naked streetbike with a chrome exhaust system, anti-lock braking system, heated grips, on-board computer, white turn signals, windshield and a lower seat.
The anniversary R1200R was given a special Mojave brown with white lines paint job as well as chrome cylinder head covers and cover caps for the Telelever and fork bridge. The rear frame and light casing were given a silver finish to contrast the Mojave brown elements. Wire spoke wheels give the bike a classic look to honor the Berlin plant’s anniversary.
