The BMW R850R is a motorcycle that was produced by BMW Motorrad from 1999 to 2002. It was a naked roadster model that was powered by a 850 cc (52 cu in) boxer engine. The R850R was a popular choice for commuters and recreational riders due to its blend of performance and practicality. While technically a "naked" bike, the R850R featured a unique windscreen design that was integrated into the headlight fairing, giving it a distinctive look. This windscreen provided a degree of wind protection while still delivering a sporty and uncluttered riding experience. The R850R was powered by a 850 cc (52 cu in) air-cooled, horizontally opposed, two-cylinder engine that produced 70 hp (52 kW) at 7,000 rpm and 60 lb⋅ft (81 N⋅m) of torque at 5,000 rpm. The engine was mated to a five-speed transmission. The R850R also featured a telescopic fork, a Paralever swingarm, and a single disc brake at the front and rear. Other features included a digital instrument panel and a comfortable riding position. The R850R was well-received by critics and riders for its smooth power delivery, handling, and overall ride quality. It became a popular choice for those looking for a well-rounded motorcycle that could be used for both commuting and recreational riding. The R850R was replaced by the R1150R in 2002, which featured a larger engine and a number of other upgrades.
