Powerful treatment for the ideal line - this is how perfect sporty riding can be.

It's weekend, early morning: sunshine, dry roads. There's a great feel in the air. You take a light breakfast, slip into your leathers and then: one bend after the next, at every possible angle, long drawn-out and short, lots of tricky changes. Great braking manoeuvres, superb acceleration - and you are always at one with the bike, always feeling the ideal line as if for the first time, taking your powerful steed to the limit. You want a fantastic sound too? It's all yours. Sporty like no other flat-twin before it, the BMW R 1200 S.

Power-to-weight ratio, ideal centre of gravity, chassis, engine characteristics, styling - all the facts about the BMW R 1200 S signal pure power. 190 kg dry weight, 122 bhp and 112 Nm! With this trio of figures you are definitely moving the ideal line in the direction of sporty riding - whether on regular roads or the race track.

The tubular space frame, the exclusive chassis, the 1200 flat-twin engine, the raised exhaust, the slim line - everything about it is tight and muscular. Whether for an outing in your local area, race track training on the Nordschleife or ticking off mountain passes: the perfect integration of rider and machine gives sporty riding a new dimension. The BMW R 1200 S is the right bike for everyone who are closer to the asphalt than to anything else...
