BMW R1200S 2007

For passes on the track or in the mountains.
Even BMW fanatics are amazed at how our engineers were able to give the famed two cylinder Boxer engine even more power, topping the R 1200 S out to an incredible 122 bhp. The new S is also 22 lbs lighter than the previous model, and with a nimble Telelever front suspension, low center of gravity, optional ABS, hitting mountain passes of passes on the track is equally thrilling. The R 1200 S is the bike that won the Moto ST Eight Hours of Daytona endurance race in 2006, so if you want a sport bike with stamina as well as performance, there is no other choice.

Engine Summary
The two cylinder flat twin Boxer engine is BMW’s famous, time-tested, signature design. First designed in 1923, its two horizontally mounted cylinders are like a boxer’s gloves punching each other as he enters the ring. The result is a supremely reliable, flexible engine with a low center of gravity and like all twins, excellent torque characteristics. The exposed cylinders offer excellent air cooling and if it’s durability, performance, and bulletproof all-around handling you want, this is your powerplant.
