The K 1200 R - Pure Muscle Power.

Climb on the ultimate muscle bike and get a grip as you accelerate in a mere 2.9 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. Your adrenalin level will respond instantly as you speed-shift through the six-speed gearbox. With its 163 bhp the K 1200 R is the most powerful production naked bike in the world.

This roadster isn't just about aggressive design. 127 Nm of torque needs your respect - on every kilometre, in every millisecond. The cylinder head of the BMW K 1200 R has been taken directly from Formula 1 racing. Cam followers set the 16 valves motion and reduce friction to a minimum. The patented BMW Motorrad Duolever front wheel suspension is a standard feature on this bike. The optional Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA) and BMW Motorrad ABS in the part-integral version make the bike's impact all the more impressive.

The law of the road call for tough riders.

The K 1200 R. Respect!
