Munich. The BMW R 1200 S is the most powerful and sportiest flat twin model in
the history of BMW Motorrad. For those S enthusiasts who want to enjoy flat
twin performance on dynamic tours as well as for purely sports use, BMW now
offers sports cases. The carrier concept - already well established with the K
1200 and F 800 models - is characterised by stability, low weight, variability,
weather resilience and elegant design, and is thus perfectly suited to the
sporty character of the R 1200 S.
The floor of the case is made of highly resilient plastic and bears the locking
unit.
The outer surface is made of textile material which has a steel mesh anti-theft
reinforcement surrounded by a plastic holding cage.
Each carrier weighs just 3.8 kilos and has a continuously adjustable volume of
15 to 25 litres. Mounting and removing the container is easy, and when it is
removed, the sporty, dynamic appearance of the S rear is not affected since the
carrier system is virtually invisible.
Adjustable straps equipped with ratchet mechanism allow for the compression of
the luggage space by simply pushing them together. This means that only the
width that is currently required will have to be used. Depending on the volume
used, vehicle width can vary between 95 and 110 centimetres.
