Bmw K 1200 R
The Bmw K 1200 R has a top speed of 240 km/h, produces 163 hp and weighs 248 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
A BMW K 1200 R foi lançada em 2005 como uma versão nua/roadster da moto esportiva K 1200 S, com o mesmo poderoso motor de quatro linhas em um pacote de caça de rua mais ereto e agressivo. Ela representou a primeira verdadeira bicicleta nua de alto desempenho da BMW e foi notável por seus inovadores sistemas de suspensão dianteira Duolever e suspensão traseira Paralever. A produção durou até 2008, quando foi sucedida pela K 1300 R com um motor de maior cilindrada.

O que os compradores devem saber
Watch the Throttle Bodies
The K 1200 R is known for throttle body synchronization issues that can cause rough idling and hesitation. Regular sync checks every 6,000–12,000 miles keep it running smoothly.
Stable Resale Value
Well-maintained examples hold value reasonably well in the naked sport segment due to their unique inline-4 character. Low-mileage bikes with full service history command a noticeable premium.
Unique Forward-Tilted Engine
The K 1200 R features BMW's distinctive longitudinally-mounted inline-4 tilted 55° forward, giving it an exceptionally low center of gravity and razor-sharp handling rarely matched in its class.

"Nua brutalmente rápida que recompensa os corajosos."
O K1200R é essencialmente um K1200S com suas roupas rasgadas, o que significa que 163 cavalos de potência atingem você no peito sem quase nada entre você e o vento além de 180 km/h. A posição de pilotagem inclinada para frente é mais agressiva do que a maioria dos pelados — a BMW a chamou de “power cruiser”, mas isso é bobagem de marketing, essa coisa quer ser pilotada com força. O front-end do Duolever fornece um feedback genuinamente estranho no início; ele não sofre com a frenagem e a geometria da direção nunca muda, o que é tecnicamente superior, mas exige muito tempo antes que seu cérebro confie nela. Esse motor, porém - um gritante quatro em linha que puxa com força a partir de 4.000 rpm e detona absolutamente acima de 8.000 - é a principal razão pela qual você compra esta bicicleta e a razão pela qual você perdoará seus compromissos ergonômicos.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"A flawed but spectacular machine for experienced riders who prepare properly."
$5,500-$9,500 usedThe K1200R is genuinely unlike anything else on two wheels. That longitudinally-mounted inline-four produces 163hp in a naked package, and it absolutely delivers on that promise — the midrange punch is savage, the top-end pull almost unsettling. BMW's Duolever front end feels strange initially, but once you trust it, the handling precision is remarkable. It's a proper performance machine wearing street clothes. Buying used, you need to do your homework. Check the throttle body sync — they drift and cause rough idle and flat spots. Inspect the final drive splines carefully, as neglected lubrication intervals here will cost you serious money. The ABS module is another weak point on pre-2008 examples. Always insist on full service history and budget £500-800 for a proper recommission regardless of claimed condition. Running costs are higher than Japanese alternatives, dealer servicing isn't cheap, and parts availability varies. But when everything's right, this motorcycle is spectacular — genuinely fast, surprisingly comfortable for its aggression, and still turns heads fifteen years on.
