BMW Introduces K1200R Naked
By Dirck Edge
BMW has shown the new K1200R to the motorcycle press assembled in Munich at Intermot. A naked version utilizing the same engine, frame and suspension technology as the recently introduced K1200S (reviewed here by MotorcycleDaily), the new roadster is expected to have more than 160 horsepower and weigh less than 500 pounds dry. Don't expect to see the K1200R available as a production machine in the U.S. until the latter part of 2005, as a 2006 model.

The Older I Get, The Less I Know.
I NEED a K1200R. I was at the dealership near me today and they had a really nice one with a special paint job. It was painted a BMW pearl black color (color used on the CL) and a blacked out engine. In the sun, the pearl black had a very nice look.
The salesman said he is afraid they are not going to be making the KR anymore. He also told me they are getting scared they won't get rid of all the ones they currently have. The price of one at my dealership is $12,995. Is that pretty much the same across the country?
