BMW Motorrads sportiest twin-cylinder is aiming for new best times.

The new BMW R 1200 S boasts 90 kW (122 bhp) and a maximum torque of 112 Nm at 6,800 rpm. The BMW Motorrad Telelever and BMW Motorrad Paralever, combined with the exclusive Ohlins components, are extremely responsive, allowing optimal contact with the ground and transferring the power unerringly to the asphalt.

It is immediately apparent from the dynamic design of the R 1200 S that here is a machine
for true sports bike fans. The EVO brake system ensures that deceleration is finely regulated, thanks to the large discs and four-piston brake callipers.

The new two-channel ABS can be deactivated for use on the racetrack. Just climb on and go for a sporty ride!
