R Colour Range. BMW Motorrad proudly presents the most powerful
Roadster in the world: the new K 1200 R. Featuring top-end technology,
carried over from the K 1200 S, this high-end muscle bike will hit the
headlines in the motorcycle market. And with its ultra-modern, 120 kW
(163 bhp) four-cylinder engine, and running gear designed and built
without compromise for supreme and absolutely thrilling riding
dynamics, outstanding innovations such as the BMW Duolever and ESA, as
well as a highly advanced on-board electrical and electronic network,
the K 1200 R sets a truly unique benchmark in the segment of
high-performance sports roadsters. Through its extroverted design
alone, the K 1200 R marks a new approach far beyond the conventional.
Following the quantum leap in all areas borne out by the K 1200 S, the
K 1200 R is now adding further emotions to the BMW motorcycle range.
Combining the thrill of high technology and superior power and
performance with a unique touch of purism and "naked"
technology clearly visible from every angle, the new K 1200 R is truly
unique - a typical product of BMW Motorrad in every respect. As you
may expect of BMW Motorrad, however, the focus with the K 1200 R, as
with all other BMW motorcycles, is not on a short-lived
"show-off" effect. Rather, like all motorcycles with the
white-and-blue logo, the objective is to give the rider useful added
value provided by future-oriented technologies. This philosophy is
rounded off, as usual, by a truly perfect range of options and
accessories enhancing the practical value of this powerful Roadster.
Optimum environmental compatibility ensured by ultra-modern exhaust gas
management incorporating a fully controlled three-way catalytic
converter, as well as supreme active safety provided by BMW's advanced
Integral ABS in conjunction with the high-performance brake system are
further, cutting-edge features of this unique BMW - features,
naturally, to be found on all other models.
