So most of them time we focus on all of the cars that BMW is making(which isn’t bad), but that makes us forgot about all the motorcycles that they make. I think that we can all agree that motorcycles give us a thrilling ride that we all love. BMW has been hinting at moving their brands up in the performance ranks.
The four cylinder K1200 series has given BMW an image-bike that further cements it into the high performance race, and now the R1200S HP2 Sport will take the BMW brand back to the race track in style. Starting with the R1200S as its base, already BMW’s sportiest model, the HP2 adds new 4-valve heads sporting dual overhead cams.
Redlining at around 9,500 RPM, the power output of the engine has been increased to 128 horsepower, and the 85 ft-lb. of torque makes this engine very powerful for an air-cooled boxer-twin. Routing that muscle to the rear wheel is a six-speed gearbox featuring a quick-shifter that allows the bike to survive full-throttle up-shifts and performs quicker than what we can do in a car.
