Concept and Features
Introducing the new R 1200 S -- BMW Motorcycles is proudly
presenting the most powerful production Boxer the world has
ever seen - a machine standing out clearly from all other
models in the range.
This new addition to the Boxer series is following in the
footsteps of the successful R 1100 S, with the focus clearly
on sporting performance and dynamic riding characteristics.
This expression of superior performance and sporting power
is borne out from the start by the athletic looks of the R
1200 S: From the front fairing with the "kidney"
grille so typical of BMW and the asymmetric dual headlights
all the way to the unmistakable silencer at the rear and the
LED tail lights, each and every line and feature of this new
model simply exudes power and dynamism all the way. BMW Motorcycles
quite intentionally chose the former model as the benchmark
in creating the design of the new R 1200 S.
And together with this distinctive legacy, the responsible
designers were able to successfully bring out a particular
touch of lightness and dynamism in the looks of the new machine
- not least thanks to its more slender and perhaps even more
athletic silhouette bearing clear testimony to the outstanding
lightweight technology of the R 1200 S.
Overall weight of the new machine in road trim but without
fuel is a mere 195 kg or 430 lb, making it 13 kg or almost
29 lb lighter than its 1,100-cc predecessor. And with
the tank full, overall weight of BMW's new Sports Boxer is
an equally impressive 213 kg or 470 lb. Modified in numerous
important features, the 1,170-cc engine offers enormous power
reserves reaching a peak of 90 kW/122 hp at 8,250 rpm.
These figures alone underline the sporting standard of the
new model, which nevertheless does not seek to be a super-sports.
Rather, one of the most important objectives in developing
the new R 1200 S was to achieve a perfect synthesis of sportiness
and everyday riding qualities enabling the rider to take on
a relaxed seating position for effortless riding enjoyment
even on long distances.
And thanks to its slender waist - a result of the seat configuration
optimized around the rider's legs - the R 1200 S also provides
safe and secure ground contact when at a standstill.
It almost goes without saying that BMW's new Boxer comes with
all the features so typical of the brand, such as a fully
controlled catalytic converter, the single-wire system for
the on-board network complete with an electronic immobiliser,
a smooth and easy-shifting six-speed gearbox, maintenance-free
shaft drive with a single swinging arm, as well as Telelever
front wheel suspension.
The specific set-up of the suspension and running gear ensures
extremely precise and smooth handling at all times further
enhanced by the high-performance brake system: Optional BMW
Motorrad ABS anti-lock brakes combine low weight and fast
response simply perfect for the sports rider - in this case
without the integral function but with on-demand operation
allowing the rider to deactivate ABS on the race track.
The wide range of BMW options and accessories also reflects
the customer's wishes and special requests. The enthusiast
seeking to highlight the looks of his machine as a sporting
performer, for example, while at the same time enjoying each
and every bend in the road, has - to mention just two examples
- the choice of an extra-wide rear wheel as well as the high-performance
Öhlins sports suspension with spring struts variable
in length. The most sporting and dynamic Boxer of all times
is ready to go!
Boxer Engine Has More Power
BMW's new Sports Boxer benefits from the innovations already
featured on the R 1200 GS: Displacing 1,170 cc, the two-cylinder
features four valves and two spark plugs per cylinder, thus
following the basic principle of the flat-twin power unit
of the GS model. But at the same time far-reaching modifications
ensure much higher peak output than on the RT and ST models.
Particularly the modified cylinder heads enable the R 1200
S to develop an impressive 90 kW/122 hp smoothly delivered
to the crankshaft running in anti-friction bearings.
Power is transmitted via new, high load-resistant connecting
rods made of extra-strong steel alloy.
