Two of BMW Motorrad's most powerful sports bikes can now be enhanced even
further with the addition of a new sports silencer. The Laser exhaust silencer
has been specially developed for the four-cylinder K1200 S and K1200 R models
and is available for purchase from BMW dealers now for £495 including VAT.
The titanium and stainless steel silencer has been designed to fit both bikes
perfectly and is easily installed. There is no need to replace the original
headers as the part can be attached to the existing system. The Laser silencer
weighs just 3.5kg - an impressive 4kg less than the standard exhaust pipe.
The visual effect and re-tuned engine acoustics are striking. The Laser sports
silencer also offers maximum ground clearance, therefore helping make the
MCN-Award winning K1200 S and the K1200 R roadster - currently the most
powerful naked production bike in the world - all the more impressive.
The introduction of the Laser silencer is part of BMW Motorrad's sportier
focus. It comes hot on the heels of the launch of the Akrapovic sports
silencer, which is designed to fit the BMW R1200 GS and R1200 GS Adventure
models. The Akrapovic version was launched earlier this year to personalise the
appearance and sound of the two boxer-engined Adventure Sport bikes.
The Akrapovic model (also £495 including VAT) is constructed completely from
titanium, which includes the outer can, connecting tube and internal
components. The entire unit weighs just 2.2 kg - 3.6 kg less than the standard
part. The mounting bracket ensures a simple installation so it is quick and
easy for any rider to modify their GS model.
Both the Laser and Akrapovic models retain the catalytic converter and the
silencer inserts can also be removed for racing purposes. They are available
now from all BMW Motorrad dealerships nationwide.
Riders interested in the silencers or in any of the models in the BMW range can
call BMW's information line on 0800 777 155 or visit www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk to
