In the high-octane world of action movies, the BMW K 1200R has just taken center stage as the star of the latest Resident Evil installment. Hollywood actress Milla Jovovich, who plays the lead role of Alice, was recently paired with the most powerful production naked roadster in the world – the 163 horsepower K 1200R.
With its sleek design and unmatched performance capabilities, the BMW K 1200R is the perfect machine for the tough-as-nails Alice. “I’ve had a few guy friends freak out over it and say that the bones are awesome. It looks great,” Jovovich comments on the bike.
The RE3 show bike, created by Georg Huber, features intricately airbrushed spinal bones on the tank and detailed gold lettering on the fairing, perfectly capturing the essence of the movie’s dark and intense theme. As Jovovich herself puts it, “It was a lot of fun making it – these films have been a great experience for me. I get to recreate this character and it’s been a great opportunity for me.
