Hmmm.... Why those screaming inline 4s always sound so boring and the same all the time? Like mad housewives

Oh, did a mentioned what a boring and easy that race track it is? No jumps, no loosed surfaces, no long series of thrilling sharp curves etc etc

Well, all the humor aside it's still the same tarmac racing, so, for the new K1200 screamer bike lovers here's a good and more thrilling movie: the K1200R vs Z4 (M5 engine!) on the proper and legendary race track, with proper and very skilled riders

The bike still sounds damn boring tho, nothing special in there, dunno why... Gotta a be the Honda MotoGP V-5, Proton V-5 or Ducati V4 if it comes to purity and originality of the sound of tarmac (racing) multicylinder bikes

Cheers, Margus

Turned it off half way through, so boring I almost gave up the will to live. Yep, some slick riding, but so manufactured and repetitive.

Good to hear, but you made more progress - i swiched it off around 3rd minute out of 10, looked at the end and who acctually won? The repeating track won both riders?

Reminds me of my test ride,
i couldn't get it around the corners either

the only thing fast on the K1200 is the depreciation

I agree he didn't look as if he was much good on the corners. I wasn't too unhappy with the way it went round corners on the track.....

Goodness ... didn't realise there was 2 sorts of K12S ... all the ones I have ridden have gone round corners just fine ... actually ... quite a bit better than fine...

And they sound fantastic when on the pipe ... Roooooooorrrrr ... get it hammered yer shower of girls...

Perhaps i should have had a longer test ride,
but at the time the fuel injection updates hadn't been done giving an
interesting ride

Bought one of these instead
