BMWK1200R 2008 - 2009

　　In 2008, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW K1200R, a supersport naked motorcycle that debuted in 2005. The bike was part of the K series in BMW's range, comprising several models with different engine displacements and appearances.

　　When it was first released, BMW Motorrad claimed it was the fastest naked motorcycle in the world, with acceleration from 0-100 kph (0-60 mph) in only 2.6 seconds. It was exceeded by the Suzuki B-King, which delivered more power, but the BMW K1200R still had faster acceleration and a higher top speed.

　　In the visual department, the bike had standard features, such as an odd-looking headlight, a minuscule windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a single-sided swingarm, a four-into-one exhaust system, and lightweight aluminum wheels.

　　Underneath its fuel tank, the 2008 BMW K1200R had installed a 1,157cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine managed by a fuel injection system, delivering 163 hp at 10,250 rpm and 127 Nm (94 lb-ft) torque at 8,250 rpm.

　　The bike's engine power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulically controlled wet multi-plate clutch and a final shaft drive, pushing the bike to a top speed of 262 kph (163 mph).

　　The machine packed a Telelever suspension system on the front and two 320 mm brake discs with four-piston calipers. The rear end was handled by a Paralever suspension system with a 265 mm brake disc, delivering excellent suspension performance and stopping power.
