The Machines - BMW R1200S

 
 



BMW R1200S ridden 2 up in the European Alps.For passes, on the track, or in the mountains.

Even BMW fanatics are amazed at how our engineers were able to give the famed two cylinder Boxer engine even more power, topping the R 1200 S out to an incredible 122 bhp. The new S is also 22 lbs lighter than the previous model, and with a nimble Telelever front suspension, low center of gravity, optional ABS, hitting mountain passes or passes on the track is equally thrilling. The R 1200 S is the bike that won the Moto ST Eight Hours of Daytona endurance race in 2006, so if you want a sport bike with stamina as well as performance, there is no other choice.
