With its contemporary ShiftCan boxer engine , the R1250R has proven itself versatile and reliable in equal measure . German BMW specialist Hornig has been on a mission " to optimise BMW ' s popular naked Roadster with a range of accessories that further enhance the safety , comfort , style and riding experience ". Among the enhancements , Hornig says that its handlebar riser kit gives the rider a more upright posture , said to greatly improve comfort on long journeys . The aerodynamic ZTechnik VStream windshield brings additional comfort through reduced wind noise and buffeting - the ergonomically designed ZTechnik by National Cycle gets its name from its unique patented shape . The advanced " V " profile and dimensional contours push the wind vortex out and away from the rider ' s helmet , resulting in a peaceful , quieter riding environment . The "+" means these windscreens are mounted with a custom mounting system specifically designed and engineered for this model of bike . These windscreens are made from tough 4.5 mm Quantum hardcoated polycarbonate . A high- quality , high-tech material that provides outstanding clarity , strength and impact and scratch resistance unmatched by any windscreen maker worldwide , Quantum hardcoated polycarbonate " is the material of choice for serious motorcycle riders ", with testing having found it to be ten times more abrasion resistant than FMR hardcoated polycarbonate , and 30 times more than windscreens made from commonly used alternates such as " aircraft plastic " or acrylic .
