Fascination and Passion -- two of the common reactions to this latest
edition to the BMW arsenal. The 1998 BMW K 1200 RS is more than just
the latest in a long line of excellent sport-touring motorcycles, this
one is really something special. It's a 1200cc inline four-cylinder
engine thrust into a space-age frame that is the culmination of years
of research by world-famous BMW.
A 1200cc BMW. This newly
designed 4-cylinder 4-stroke engine sports 4 valves per cylinder, an
11.5:1 compression ratio, and 130 bhp @ 8,750rpm. In short, it's more
power than any BMW ever made before. This isn't just another
K-bike, this one is explosive. It is fast, newly designed, and
vibrantly styled. It's bold, stunning, and powerful. It doesn't
turn heads, it snaps necks. The K 1200 RS is truly amazing.
It's more than just power.
It's the comforts and reliability that the world has come to expect from
BMW. The windshield is adjustable, the footrests are adjustable, there
is a two-position seat, and the
new BMW paralever front suspension gives unbelievable stability at speed.
It also sports a new BMW-invented dual catalytic converter that is
more environmentally friendly than was previously imaginable.
