　　The BMW K1200RS was a fully-faired sport-touring motorcycle manufactured by BMW from 1997 to 2005. The bike was BMW's last evolution motorcycle to wear a four-cylinder longitudinal-mounted engine and was often called the flying brick.

　　In 1998, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW K1200RS, a performance-oriented machine with special optional accessories. From 1997 to 2004, the maker manufactured 37,992 units at the BMW plant in Spandau, Germany.

　　In the visual department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a full fairing with a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle and a small luggage rack, and lightweight twin five-spoke cast aluminum wheels.

　　The bike was built on a die-cast aluminum frame with a BMW Motorrad Telelever front and Paralever rear suspension system. On the front wheel, the bike was fitted with two 320 mm discs coupled to four-piston calipers and a 285 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.

　　Underneath its bodywork, the 1998 BMW K1200RS had installed a 1,171cc four-stroke liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 130 hp with a peak at 8,750 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) torque at8,300 rpm.

　　The engine was coupled to a six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulically-controlled dry multi-plate clutch and a final shaft drive, pushing the motorcycle to 246 kph (153 mph).
