BMWR1200S 2007 - 2008

　　In 2007, the German motorcycle manufacturer released the BMW R1200S, one of the lightest machines ever created by the House of Munich, with a claimed dry weight of only 190 kg (419 lbs).

　　The BMW R1200S was a luxury sports motorcycle made by BMW Motorrad between 2006 and 2007. It replaced the BMW R1100S, and it was succeeded by the BMW HP2 Sport in 2007.

　　In terms of technology, the motorcycle packed the latest developments by the Germans, such as the Telelever and Paralaver front and rear suspension system with Ohlins components, the high-end EVO braking system with optional ABS II, and the Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA).

　　The bike's appearance was characterized by standard features, such as a half fairing with a small windscreen, a two-piece dual seat, a two-into-one exhaust system mounted under the seat, and ten-spoke alloy wheels.

　　Some factory-installed features included Ohlins suspensions, switchable ABS, a lightweight Akrapovic silencer, heated grips, a Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system, and a wider 6-inch rear wheel to accommodate a 190 mm tire.

　　In the performance department, the 2007 BMW R1200S took its muscles from a 1,170cc four-stroke air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine that delivered 122 hp with maximum strength at 8,250 rpm and 113 Nm (83 lb-ft) torque at 6,800 rpm.

　　The power was converted into motion by a six-speed manual gearbox and then sent to the rear end via a shaft drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 241 kph (150 mph).
