Acceleration to 60 mph (97 km/h) from a standing start is claimed to be 2.6 seconds. more news BMW 1600
The cylinder block is canted toward the front wheel by 55 degrees to reduce the entire motorcycle’s centre of gravity, allowing intake components to be placed above the engine, directly below the fuel tank. The optional electronic suspension adjustment (ESA) system allows the rider to electronically adjust for different road conditions and varying loads for an individualized riding style. A three-way catalytic converter in the exhaust is present to meet low emissions. As an option, the bike is available with ABS brakes.
In 2007 the K1200R Sport was launched, which is identical other than the addition of a small fairing.[1]
At the time of launch BMW Motorrad claimed that the K1200R was the world's most powerful naked bike. However, this is no longer true following the launch of the 184 hp (137 kW) Suzuki B-King. British magazine RiDE tested the B-King and K1200R together and found that despite the extra power of the B-King, the K1200R was faster accelerating and had a 9 mph higher top speed.[2]
In 2008, BMW USA added the Apple Green colour option to the K1200R lineup. In other markets, such as the United Kingdom, Sunny Yellow, Dark Graphite and White Aluminium are available as colour options.
At the end of 2008, the K1200R was replaced by the larger displacement K1300R, which features a 1,293 cc engine producing 175 bhp (130 kW), torque of 103 lb·ft (140 N·m).
As of November 2009[update], neither the K1200R nor the K1300R are offered for sale in the USA.
