2005 BMW K 1200 S, CONTACT KYLE FOR DETAILS(480) The 2005 K 1200 S is a synthesis of everything BMW has learned from decades of motorsport success and detailed motorcycle development. It is a sport model without precedent and devoid of compromise. The K 1200 S exists to define maximum performance with unprecedented sophistication and technology-enhanced safety measures. Yes, it accelerates aggressively enough to take your breath away-thanks to an all-new four-cylinder engine with 167 horsepower-but also embodies everything BMW has learned about rider comfort and safety.Transferring power from the crankshaft to the rear wheel is a new-design six-speed transmission using stacked gears in a cassette configuration, installed into the cases from the side. This racing-inspired technology is not only lighter than conventional layouts but considerably more compact. The straight-cut gears are stronger than other types so they can be kept slender, for an overall reduction in width.Sportbike enthusiasts have had to live with the muss and fuss of a chain final drive. No longer. The K 1200 S uses an updated version of BMW s highly regarded Paralever system, which employs a simple spur gear from the transmission output shaft. Although there are inherent efficiency losses with a dual-gear shaft system - one gear is used between the engine and the front of the shaft and another at the rear wheel - BMW has found from studying the real-world effects of chain deterioration and lack of maintenance that the actual losses are extremely small. Compared to previous shaft-drive systems, the K 1200 S s is far lighter and more compact.
