Review
The 2004 BMW 1150 R Rockster Edition 80 is a special edition of the Rockster, celebrating BMW's motorcycle heritage. It shares the same 1130cc boxer twin engine as the standard Rockster, delivering 98.0 Nm of torque at 5250 RPM. This provides strong and responsive power for a fun and engaging riding experience. The Edition 80 stands out with its unique color scheme and special badging, paying homage to BMW's 80th anniversary of motorcycle production. It has a top speed of 197.0 km/h, a seat height of 835 mm, and a weight of 219 kg. The front suspension features BMW's Telelever system with adjustable rebound damping, providing excellent stability and control. Dual front disc brakes offer ample stopping power. The riding position is similar to the standard Rockster, offering a good balance between comfort and sportiness. The 20.5-liter fuel tank allows for decent range between fill-ups. This motorcycle is aimed at riders who appreciate BMW's history and want a Rockster with a unique and exclusive appearance. It's a collector's item that offers the same performance and handling as the standard Rockster, but with added visual appeal and historical significance. It combines style, performance, and heritage in a desirable package.
