The BMW R 1300 R roadster has been showcased by the brand as its latest motorcycle model engineered as a high-performance option that doesn't skimp on power, technology or premium features. The motorcycle is powered by a twin-cylinder boxer mill motor that pumps out 145-horsepower and 110lb-ft of torque, which will propel the 527-pound bike in an agile manner. The motorcycle is reported to have a chassis crafted out of a stiffer steel sheet metal for the main frame than the previous tubular one that's also paired with a die-cast aluminum rear frame for impressive stability.
