The second model year of the water-cooled R 1200 RS carried on essentially unchanged from the 2015 launch bike. It remains a half-faired sport-tourer built around the 125 hp boxer, with a sportier stance than the RT and more wind protection than the R roadster, and a long options list of electronic aids and touring luggage.
