2007 BMW K1200R, 2007 BMW K1200R Sport with just 12k miles and in immaculate condition. Fresh trade-in, sale priced at 8,995!!!!FROM MOTORCYCLE : BMW leaves no doubt of the sporting capabilities from its K1200R Sport. In describing the Sport's performance, it would be inconceivable to start anywhere other than its colossal 1157cc motor. The Inline-Four K-series engine is a monster powerplant, which can flat out smoke just about anything running on the road. Possessing a 79mm bore and 59mm stroke, the Four provides ample horsepower and torque. Looking at the power curve, rear-wheel horsepower rises along with the revs before reaching its crescendo of 138.5 ponies at 11,000 rpm; meanwhile, torque builds and peaks sooner, crossing 70 lb-ft around 3500 revs and topping out at 80.9 lb-ft at 8500 rpm. Translation: The four-valve-per-cylinder, DOHC design is a stompin' bucket of bolts that pulls like crazy.Power delivery is smooth, with a crisp throttle response allowing the Sport to get up and go. The broad powerband pulls steady throughout any gear and peaks with a dramatic top-end hit, although it's rare that the rider would ever need to throw the rpms on this machine up toward the indicated redline. The ability of the Sport to get the speedo up from the limits of law-abiding freeway speed to the triple-digits, even in lower gears, is exhilarating.Braking on the Sport is phenomenal. The upright riding position on the Sport feels natural, with the slight pitch forward not enough to put any pressure on the wrists. Mirrors provide a clear view behind, and the cockpit is attractive, with the analog speedo and tach teamed with an LCD display. Besides showing tripmeters and electronic gauges for engine temperature and fuel, the LCD monitor can also rotate through numerous snippets of info like range, time, and mpg figures. Also prominent on the LCD is a gear position indicator, which is a valuable tool only appreciated after riding a bike without one.
