The R 1200 R Classic offers a refined contrast and emphasizes components like the Telelever, drivetrain, cylinder head covers, frame, and fork in silver. Their classical, refined quality is also expressed in the completely chrome-plated exhaust system mirrors, whereas the basic version provides a sporty touch in the form of a muffler in brushed stainless steel in addition to black rearview mirrors.
