presentation of the K 1200 R Sport 2009

after the S, R and GT, BMW Motorrad is exploring a new direction for its K 1200: the R Sport. But why? The K 1200 is already a sports bike. It's not that simple - in fact, this bike could be described as a sport-GT in the BM world.

the K 1200 R Sport, with its half fairing, is designed for fast riding, while its raised riding position makes it less tiring. To this end, the handlebars of the R model have been taken over. In short, this is the roadster to which a sport fork head has been added to increase the versatility of the K series. This element features the famous double bean, characteristic of the brand's car and motorcycle models. An identity element that had disappeared from the manufacturer's latest models, such as the F 800 S & ST, K 1200 S, GT and LT.

mechanically and on the chassis, it's pure K 1200 R. Same chassis, with the latest-generation paralever and the famous duolever (no fork, but a double-arm aluminum frame). And the same 163 hp engine. For a sport-GT, that's pretty hefty, and very provocative indeed from BM.
As always, certain options are sure to charm the future owner. The K 1200 R Sport can be fitted with the ESA handlebar-mounted suspension adjustment system, an RDC tire pressure monitor, heated grips; and by taking a little detour to the High Performance Parts department, you can get a few carbon parts, such as an engine spoiler, a clutch housing, a front wheel cover or a seat cover.

this interesting model is likely to cannibalize the K 1200 S to some extent. The R Sport gives it back 4 hp and a full fairing, but should prove less exclusive. A good match in prospect.

Jim63 Model 2009

As we used to say at Rolls Royce, the power is "sufficient": to drive far, to drop just about anything on the public highway, to wind quietly, alone or in pairs. Handling is on a par with that, and comfort is the name of the game. A certain idea of motorcycling that's tending to disappear... 08/30/2020 17:04 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Jim63

What a great machine to compete effectively in the sport-GT category! Just the thing that BM has been missing. With their new 4 cyl. it fills that gap. Congratulations! 11/07/2006 22:41 Rating : 5/5 Respond to plume
