BMW K1200R Resident Evil 3 (2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW K1200R was a naked sports bike manufactured from 2005 to 2008 powered by a 1,157cc four-cylinder engine that delivered great acceleration from 0-100 kph (0-60 mph) in only 2.6 seconds.

The maker 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 better acceleration and a higher top speed.

In 2007, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW K1200R Resident Evil 3, a special edition machine created for the Munich screening of the Resident Evil 3, Extinction movie.

The bike had airbrushed spinal bones on the fuel tank and gold lettering on the fairings made by talented artist George Huber, which set the bike apart from all other BMW K1200R models. In addition, the bike had a blacked-out look that further enhanced the menacing look of the powerful streetfighter.

In other departments, the special edition machine was identical to the standard K1200R, packing the same performance, technical, and visual specifications.

Underneath its fuel tank, the 2007 BMW K1200R Resident Evil 3 had installed a 1,157cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine managed by a fuel injection system, delivering 161 hp with maximum strength at 10,250 rpm and 127 Nm (94 lb-ft) torque at 8,250 rpm.

The bike's power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a final shaft drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 262 kph (163 mph).
