BMW K1200R Sport (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW K1200R was a naked sports motorcycle manufactured by BMW from 2005 to 2008. At its launch, the manufacturer claimed it was the world's most powerful naked machine, accelerating from 0-100 kph (0-60 mph) in only 2.6 seconds.

In 2007, the German motorcycle maker launched a new version under the BMW K1200R Sport designation. The 2007 motorcycle was identical to the previous model, except for adding a small fairing and other minor tweaks and tricks.

In the aesthetic department, the 2007 BMW K1200R Sport packed a new fairing with a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a four-into-one exhaust system with a single muffler mounted on the right side, and lightweight aluminum wheels.

Underneath its fuel tank, the bike had installed a 1,157cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine managed by a fuel injection system, delivering 163 hp with a peak force at 10,250 rpm and 127 Nm (94 lb-ft) torque at 8,250 rpm.

The power produced by the engine was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulically controlled wet multi-plate clutch and a final shaft drive. The bike reached a top speed of 260 kph (162 mph).

The 2007 BMW K1200R Sport was built on a lightweight aluminum frame with a Duolever suspension system, two 305 mm brake discs on the front, and a Paralever suspension system with a 265 mm brake disc, delivering excellent suspension performance and stopping power.
