New K1200RS
In the German magazine Motorrad there is an interview with BMW Motorcycle chief Diess. He makes some comments about the new K1200RS.
First it will have a power to weight ratio which is 50% better then the R1100S (so 100hp/240kg means 160?(guess)/256 kg)
The new engine will have a capacity of 1170 cc's
He says the new front suspension has a very precise feeling when steering, the best yet. They are also working on electronically controled suspension.
It has a lower CoG, long wheelbase and special geometry (which is also favoured by Tony Foale BTW);apparantly the CoG is low enough it is very hard to wheely, no price yet and it will be shown at the INTERMOT
