A larger version of BMW's R850R, the R1150R was launched in 2001 as a replacement for the R1100R. The modifications went beyond a simple capacity increase: subtle restyling and chassis modifications brought the 1150R up to date as a simple roadster for the twenty-first century. Power output is sufficient for a naked bike and the fuel-injected flat-twin engine provides strong, torquey power delivery throughout the mid-rev range. The high-cam design of the R1150R's engine, shared by all the firm's flat-twins, uses a single camshaft mounted in each cylinder block, with short pushrods leading to valve rockers. This design keeps the cylinder heads compact, improving ground clearance and making the engine narrower.
