What's the difference?

ABS, EVO, servo-assisted, partially linked, braking system

Mike may be right..but I thought it was more about single spark for the R1150R vs twin spark for the R1150RA....but I'm just guessing..

I thought the "A" just described a bike with ABS.

Mine is an '03 single spark/ no abs. When I bought it new 4 yrs ago and financed it with BMW the statement I got each month showed it as an R1150RA. Not sure the significance.

The important thing is that it has two jugs. Seems to me that there is a natural order there.

I have a 2004 Rockster with no ABS and it's a R1150RA. I always thought that the "A" meant ABS, apparently I was wrong.

Wow!! I learn something new every day. I assumed the "A" meant ABS. I just (for the first time) checked the documentation on my, non ABS, 2004 R1150R and lo and behold it says it is R1150RA.
