BMW K1200R (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW K1200R was a naked sports motorcycle manufactured by BMW Motorrad from 2005 to 2008. The bike was part of the K series in BMW's range, comprised of numerous models with different engine displacements and appearances.

When it was first released in 2005, BMW claimed it was the most powerful naked motorcycle in the world until Suzuki launched the B-King. Although the B-King had more power, the K1200R had faster acceleration and a higher top speed.

In 2006, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW K1200R, a super sports machine in its second year of production, a powerful motorcycle that did 0-100 kph (0-60 mph) in only 2.6 seconds.

In the visual department, the naked machine packed standard features, such as an odd-looking headlight, a micro windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a four-into-one exhaust system, and Y-shaped five-spoke lightweight wheels.

The bike was also available with many options and accessories, such as an Anti-theft warning system, heated grips, a low-profile seat, ABS brakes, a luggage rack, clear turn signals, and a cockpit fairing. As for accessories, it was available with a BMW Navigator II GPS moving-map system, a center stand, adjustable side cases, a soft top case, and a tank bag.
