The BMW K1200 and K1200RS are sport touring motorcycles produced by BMW Motorrad from 2004 to 2009. They are known for their powerful engines, comfortable riding positions, and advanced technology. The K1200 series was a significant departure from previous BMW models in terms of design and engineering. The bike was powered by a liquid-cooled, 1157cc, four-stroke, four-cylinder engine that produced a claimed 163 hp and 107 lb-ft of torque. Its four-valve per cylinder design and variable valve timing contributed to both power and efficiency. The K1200 featured a unique and distinctive "Duolever" front suspension, which replaced the traditional telescopic fork with a single-sided swingarm-like system that connected to the engine. This design provided superior handling and stability, especially at high speeds. The rear suspension was a Paralever swingarm with a monoshock, offering adjustable preload and rebound damping for tailored riding performance. The K1200RS, a sportier and more aerodynamic version of the K1200, incorporated a full fairing with an integrated windscreen for added wind protection and improved aerodynamics. The K1200RS also featured a higher-performance engine with a revised camshaft profile, resulting in more horsepower and torque across the entire rev range. Both the K1200 and K1200RS were equipped with a range of advanced features, including a digital instrument panel, electronic fuel injection, anti-lock braking system (ABS), and an optional electronically adjustable suspension system. These features made these motorcycles both technologically advanced and user-friendly. The BMW K1200 and K1200RS are regarded as highly capable and versatile motorcycles, suitable for both long-distance touring and exhilarating sport riding. Their combination of power, comfort, and technology made them popular choices for riders seeking the best of both worlds.
