Hyper-sports touring motorcycle. One of the latest BMWs and that means it's a seriously sorted motorcycle. The BMW K1200S has Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa rivalling power but comfort and practicality too. After decades of obstinance, the BMW K1200S has BMW's first across-the-frame four motorcycle engine – the layout the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers have used to dominate motorcycling. And it works. Low down torque is plentiful, midrange and top end power are excessive in the BMW K1200S. You'll need an autobahn and big balls to get the BMW K1200S' throttle on the stop. Never one to shy away from innovation, the BMW K1200S uses another new system for front suspension. A single shock does the work which linkages transfer the forces. The theory is it separates braking and cornering forces – which is does. It's brilliant everywhere except a racetrack and the motorcycle is still acceptable there
