2007 Bmw K1200s Sportbike on 2040-motos

BMW Other description

2007 BMW K1200S, The BMW K 1200 S, is BMW s response to fast cycles, with its Hayabusa-beating claimed power of 167bhp and such gadgetry as electronic suspension. The K 1200 S is in its natural territory in the highways. The seating position is the perfect stretch to the high-ish bars, the pegs are the right place to create a real all-day riding position with a deeply padded seat. You can ride 300 miles in a day and it never once gets uncomfortable. The new design screen has a slight dip of the shoulders that s needed to get the full benefit of its protection from windblast, while the clocks clearly show all the necessities, including a gear indicator and fuel gauge. Never one to shy away from innovation, the BMW K1200S uses another new system for front suspension. A single shock does the work which linkages transfer the forces. The theory is it separates braking and cornering forces which is does. It s brilliant everywhere except a racetrack and the motorcycle is still acceptable there. Off the highway and onto twisty roads, you switch the electronic suspension to sports mode and you feel how the bike grabs the road for you. This whole electronic suspension is just fantastic but it works really well, the whole bike is transformed. Considering it s quite long, the BMW actually handles really well. It doesn t have the top-heavy feeling and slight flop into corners of a Hayabusa and feels solid and planted at angles up to knee-down. The pegs are never in danger of touching down, despite being set at a comfortable riding position, and it is a fun machine on which to explore the roads. . The servo assisted ABS brakes are powerful, if lacking in feel, and rapidly bring the bike to a halt. Few motorcycles shrug off winter better than a BMW motorcycle. That said a BMW K1200S will still need regular attention to keep it looking shiny. Shaft drive means less maintenance and expense.
