Riding Machine

K 1200 R

Outrageously powerful. The ultimate naked bike. The new BMW K 1200 R is the most masculine means of transport ever.

It boasts unreasonable output of 163 bhp (120 kW) and a maximum torque of 127 Nm. These naked figures mean that acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes place in a mere 2.9 seconds with the aid of the newly developed 6-speed gearbox.

The BMW Motorrad Duolever and Paralever suspension ensures total control and easy handling in spite of the bike‘s enormous power. The BMW Motorrad EVO brake system (optionally available with BMW Motorrad Integral ABS) has been especially adapted to meet the needs of such naked power and safeguards highest-level safety. In addition the suspension can be optimally adjusted to your riding style and the prevailing road surface thanks to the ESA* suspension adjustment system – even while you’re riding.
