BMW Motorrad is offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to test ride the new
163bhp K1200 R muscle bike in California, USA. Simply by visiting
www.respect1200.com and entering the online competition, one UK motorcyclist
will join others from around the world and ride the motorcycle of the moment in
the city of Angels, courtesy of BMW.

This exclusive competition will see one lucky winner from the UK fly to
California to experience a week of riding BMW's naked roadster in Los Angeles -
the exciting, vibrant city that is widely regarded as the entertainment capital
of the world - as well as discovering the picturesque west coast of America.

Sharing its engine with the formidable K1200 S superbike, the K1200 R has
received rave reviews since its international press launch last month. BMW's
new roadster oozes aggressive styling thanks to its distinctive front-dual
headlights, transversely mounted four-cylinder engine and innovative
developments such as Duolever suspension technology. Combine this with
excellent road holding and a zero to 62mph time of just 2.9 seconds, and it's
easy to see how the K1200 R has set new standards in the 'super naked' bike
segment.

The K1200 R won't officially be launched in BMW dealerships until 4 June but
the excitement has already begun. Enthusiasts can enter this exclusive
competition now by visiting the special www.respect1200.com micro site, which
also includes detailed specifications, downloadable screen savers, plus a short
film clip showing BMW's roadster in action in Arizona.

The deadline for all competition entries is 10 June.

CO2 emission information.

The values for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption shown were determined in a standardised test cycle according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version currently applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers transmission (automatic or manual) and the different wheels and tyres available on the selected model and may vary during the configuration.

The values of the vehicles labelled with (*), are already based on the test cycle according to the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to allow a comparison between vehicles. More information on the transition from NEDC to WLTP test procedures can be found here.

These figures are intended for comparison purposes and may not be representative of what a user achieves under usual driving conditions. For plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles the figures have been obtained using a combination of battery power and petrol fuel after the battery had been fully charged. Plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. The CO2 emissions labels are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the Passenger Car (Fuel consumption and CO2 Emissions Information) Regulations 2001, as amended. They are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle.

A guide on fuel economy and CO2 emissions which contains data for all new passenger car models is available at any point of sale free of charge. For further information you can also visit this link.
