Introducing the new R 1200 S, BMW Motorrad 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.
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! The most important features of the new R 1200 S at a glance:
