BMW K1200R

The BMW K1200R is a naked supersport motorcycle manufactured between 2005 and 2008 by BMW Motorrad, with a claimed 163 hp (122 kW) at 10,250 rpm from its transverse-mounted 1,157 cc inline-four engine, 127 Nm of torque at 8,250 rpm and a claimed 2.6 seconds to 60 mph. The cylinder block is canted forward 55 degrees to lower the centre of gravity, which allows intake components to sit above the engine directly below the fuel tank. Options included electronic suspension adjustment and ABS, and a three-way catalytic converter met low emission rules. A K1200R Sport with a small fairing arrived in 2007. BMW claimed it was the world's most powerful naked bike until Suzuki launched the 184 hp B-King, though RiDE magazine found the K1200R accelerated faster and had a 9 mph higher top speed. The larger K1300R replaced it at the end of 2008, and it was sold in the United States.
