The '''[[BMW]] K 1200 R''' was a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, DOHC, in-line 4 cylinder, 4 valves per cylinder Naked [[motorcycle]] produced by [[BMW]] between 2005 and 2008. It could reach a top speed of 137 mph (220 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 93.68 ft/lbs (127.0 Nm) @ 8250 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 162.93 HP (121.5 KW) @ 10250 RPM. 
 
==Intro==


[[BMW]] was known for its conservative but innovative approach towards [[motorcycles]] before 2006. Release of [[K 1200 R]] marks a new era and a new image for [[BMW]].

[[BMW]] has also jumped into the technological race between [[motorcycles]] manufacturers as this model is one of the most powerful “Naked” production motorcycle in the world producing 163 H.P. @ 10250 Rpm with a huge [[torque]] of 94 Lb.Ft. @ 8250 Rpm and a mind numbing explosive acceleration of 100 km/h from stand still in 2 seconds with a top speed over 163 [[mph]] 260 [[km/h]] (Stats that were previously only associated to [[Japanese]] [[motorcycles]]).

There are many other radical features in this bike, from its unique styling, front and rear suspension, fully sequential cylinder-specific fuel injection with integrated anti-knock control and a three-way catalytic converter in the exhaust and anti lock break system. Peak torque is available from 3500 rpm all the way to the 11,000-rpm redline. That means wheelies are just a touch of a throttle away!

==Engine==
The engine was a [[liquid cooled]] liquid-cooled, four-stroke, DOHC, in-line 4 cylinder, 4 valves per cylinder. A 78.7mm [[bore]] x 78.7mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 1157.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin [[cam]] (dohc). 
 
==Drive==
The bike has a 6-speed, manual transmission. Power was moderated via the wet multi-disc, manual. 
 
==Chassis==
It came with a 120/70-17 front [[tire]] and a 180/55-17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via dual 320 mm discs, 4 piston calipers in the front and a single 265 mm disc in the rear. The front suspension was a  Telelever while the rear was equipped with a Paralever. The K 1200 R was fitted with a 1.32 Gallon (5.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 465.18 pounds (211.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 62.2 inches (1580 mm) long.

There are many other radical features in this bike, from its unique styling, front and rear suspension, fully sequential cylinder-specific fuel injection with integrated anti-knock control and a three-way catalytic converter in the exhaust and anti lock break system. Peak torque is available from 3500 rpm all the way to the 11,000-rpm redline. That means wheelies are just a touch of a throttle away!
