122 horses! We had never seen such power on a production BMW Boxer. It is clear, there is more sport in the pistons of the new R 1200 S. Replacing in the continuity of the R 1100 S, this sporty (as one conceives it in Munich) Teutonic borrows in turn the twin flat of 1170 cm3 inaugurated on the 1200 GS… with some small specific adjustments.
Redesigned cylinder heads, new even stronger connecting rods made of high-strength alloy steel, camshafts leading to a new distribution and greater valve lift no longer rotating on two bearings but on three, firmer valve springs and reinforced rocker arms – this is what allows speeds of up to 8,800 rpm – never seen on a standard BMW boxer. We should also mention the new pistons which bring the compression ratio to 12.5 / 1.
This new twin has never ceased to amaze us since it appeared in 2004. And it should delight us even more in a machine as distinctive as the R 1200 S. Its design is largely based on the previous dress of the 1100. , however with more angular, more minimalist lines, a narrower fork crown, turn signals integrated into the mirrors, and a posterior very inspired by that of the Ducati 999, distinguished by an exhaust with superimposed round tips and surmounted by a rear light with 18 diodes. The rims take the design of those of the K 1200 S. The technical solutions are obviously the latest innovations from the Bavarian manufacturer: New Paralever swingarm, Telelever front axle, GS dashboard with multiplexed electronics – A very complete according to the file 
Press :
“The pilot can also use the data provided by the SWS and call up a lot of information on the flat information screen. Thus, this digital display shows, for example, the gear engaged, the fuel level, the temperature of oil, the time of day and, as soon as the fuel reserve has been used up, the remaining range. In all cases, a photosensitive cell takes the ambient light into account and automatically adapts the lighting of the instruments to the ambient conditions. cockpit will also appeal to lovers of analogue indications: two round instruments with white dials provide information on the current speed and engine speed “.
With 195 kg dry, the R 1200 S is a featherweight at BMW. Although having lost 13 kg since the 1100, this sport is not yet in the aspi of GSX-R and other missiles. The philosophy of the S belongs more to the sport-GT caste like the 800 VFR or the Sprint ST. A powerful engine, a slim line, a relaxed but sporty riding position on the handlebars, the R 1200 S is one of those ladies who prefer tennis matches to the 4 x 400 m relay..
A prestigious name appears among the many options available: Ohlins. The supplier provides the components for the “Ohlins sport cycle part”.
“At the front, this incorporates a combined with an adjustable rebound damper and a variable preload spring, which is distinguished by a highly sensitive response to any roughness of the road and offers an even greater margin when driving. The rear combination with attached cylinder shock absorber and damping dependent on the travel travel not only allows the shock absorber to be individually adjusted in compression and rebound and the spring in preload, but also to adjust the height of the rear section. For a constant spring base, it is thus p
It is not possible to change the steering geometry of the R 1200 S and to fine-tune the motorcycle for circuit riding. “
Here is which promises beautiful games of sport between gentlemen. Although … To see the Boxer Cup rounds which took place not so long ago, we say to ourselves that R 1200 Sistes will not miss an opportunity to arouse such young ragpickers; but always in elegance.
