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 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 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 ESA1 suspension adjustment system – even while you’re riding.
