BMW K 1200 R Sport

The BMW K 1200 R Sport is a part-faired sport tourer from BMW, presented to the press at Intermot in Munich on 11 October 2006, with sales beginning in July 2007 as the fourth model of the K 1200 series. From 2007 to September 2008 1,347 were final-assembled at the BMW plant in Berlin-Spandau. It is based on the naked K 1200 R with the same drive and chassis technology, adding a frame-mounted half fairing with the asymmetric headlights of the R 1200 S, and the ignition and injection electronics were retuned for smoother throttle response. The liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine of 1,157 cc, tilted 55 degrees forward with a bore of 79 mm and a stroke of 59 mm, gives 120 kW (163 PS) and 127 Nm at 8,250 rpm, takes 3.2 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and reaches 264 km/h according to the registration document, on fuel of at least 98 octane at 5.8 litres per 100 km. The frame is an aluminium bridge frame with Duolever at the front and Paralever at the rear, and the dry weight is 211 kg with a permitted gross mass of 450 kg.
