Even BMW fanatics are amazed at how our engineers were able to give the famed two-cylinder Boxer engine even more power, topping the R 1200 S out to an incredible 122 bhp. The new S is also 22 pounds lighter than the previous model, and with a nimble Telelever front suspension, low center of gravity, optional ABS, hitting mountain passes or passes on the track is equally thrilling. The R 1200 S is the bike that won the Moto ST Eight Hours of Daytona endurance race in 2006, so if you want a sport bike with stamina as well as performance, there is no other choice.
