BMW has taken advantage of the incredible technology housed in the new K 1200 S - a straight-line speed machine that also accelerates, turns and stops like a truly modern superbike - to create the K 1200 R. In fact, except for revised bodywork and ergonomics, the two bikes are very much alike.
And yet the two motorcycles couldn't be further in temperament. The K 1200 S is sophisticated, urbane, while the K 1200 R is built for the rider who lives for sport riding and uncompromised appearances. The K 1200 R eschews full bodywork for a tidy, aerodynamically designed instrument-panel fairing that incorporates powerful asymmetrical headlights and the engine oil cooler. This is a face that performance-oriented riders won't soon forget. Nor will race fans, as the K 1200 R will form the basis for the BMW Power Cup, with races to be held all over the world on special race-prepared machines. Taking up where the popular Boxer Cup left off, it's likely that the best, hardest-fought racing in 2005 will come from the ranks of the Power Cup.
