The K1200S pictured above right is decsribed on the BMW Motorcycles website: "With enough raw power to shock even the most seasoned adrenaline junky, the all-new K1200S can get you from dead stop to sixty in 2.8 seconds."

"Once you're over the whiplash, you'll keep climbing, topping out at speeds that run neck-and-neck with the fastest production motorcycles in the world."


The F650 GS Dakar on the righ was "inspired by some of the world’s harshest terrain." Says BMW. "Famous for its achievements in the grueling Paris-Dakar rally, the F 650 GS Dakar model takes adventure riding to its extreme. Featuring BMW’s new 2 SPARK ignition system and an improved on-board engine management system, the F 650 GS lowers emissions while increasing fuel efficiency meaning you’ll get more desert, river bed and mountain top to the gallon.

Whether you’re heading to the Arctic Circle or the Amazon, the F 650 GS Dakar can be customized with a range of optional features and accessories including switchable ABS, heated hand grips, a low seat, tank bag, large engine guard, the BMW Navigator, and more."


There's an R1200 CL pictured above left and an R1200 RT on the right. You can see how low the tie-down straps are secured. The cloth fabric straps only touch the frame, never any bodywork or luggage.
