BMW R 1200S Endurance Racer (2007)

BMW R 1200S Endurance Racer (2007)

The BMW R 1200S Endurance Racer embodies the perfect blend of power, agility, and endurance, making it the closest thing to a Superbike BMW has ever built. At the heart of this beast lies a four-stroke, two-cylinder horizontally opposed Boxer engine, pumping out 140bhp and 4 valves per cylinder.

The air/oil-cooled powerplant is perfectly suited to the demands of endurance racing, providing a smooth and predictable power delivery that’s a joy to ride. With a fully-fuelled weight of just 195kg, this machine is a force to be reckoned with on the track.

The BMW R 1200S Endurance Racer is the ultimate test of man and machine, pushed to its limits by some of the world’s top road racers, including Stphane Mertens, Thomas Hinterreiter, and Rico Penzkofer, who collectively demonstrated its incredible capabilities in the grueling LeMans 24-hour endurance race.
