BMW K1200R 2008

The cure for power deficit disorder.
Never before has a naked bike served up this much raw power. Packing a 163 horsepower punch, the all-attitude K 1200 R is the ultimate hooligan bike. With a look that screams pure aggression, and a motor that lays power to the ground like nobody’s business, one thing’s for sure, this is a BMW motorcycle that blows the helmet off of everyone’s expectations.

Engine Summary
Laterally mounted, this 16-valve, water-cooled K series engine angles the cylinders forward by 55 degrees, lowering the center of gravity significantly. Inspired by Formula One technology, this high-powered engine has a narrow profile, close gear ratios, and precise 6-gear shifting. Gearbox response is immediate, which means startling acceleration, amazing horsepower, and absolutely mind-bending performance.
