Highlights
• Absolutely perfect condition
• Genuine extremely low miles, only 281!
• Very well engineered bike
• BMW’s most powerful production motorcycle up to 2005
The Background
The BMW K1200 S is a fantastic sports tourer, and when new this was the most powerful production motorcycle ever made by BMW. It featured an incredible, near diesel level 13:1 compression ratio, made possible by very sensitive dual knock sensors that control the timing to prevent pinging and an oil spray system to cool the pistons from below.
This combined low mass valve train gives a 11,000rpm redline that is music to any petrolhead’s ears! It produces a whopping 146 rear wheel bhp for a thrilling ride along with all the comforts a tourer provides including heated grips for those cold days out.
The electronic suspension adjustment (ESA) is a very welcome feature on this tourer, allowing fast adjustment to compensate for a pillion passenger or luggage.
The History
This wonderful bike has been known to the local BMW Motorad dealerships John Clark Dundee and Aberdeen since new which can be checked on their computers.
The original owner displayed it in his Classic Porsche collection. When this collection sadly had to be sold to a well known classic Porsche dealership, the family insisted the bike go with the collection but the current owner managed to buy it.
The current owner only rode it every so often for just a mile or so just to keep everything moving. It's absolutely stunning, and has never seen rain to the best of our knowledge.
The Paperwork
V5 present. Bike currently has a private plate not included in sale however original registration will be put back on the bike prior to sale.
Not much paperwork due to the bikes extremely low mileage but MOT certificates are present and a few service receipts showing routine servicing and maintenance such as fresh tyres and battery fitted only due to age and keeping them new and fresh.
The Exterior
In a word, perfect. This bike is in showroom condition, and is faultless. Even though this bike was made in 2005 it is a true time capsule and looks the same as the day it was made. The wonderful yellow, black and grey paint is in perfect condition.
It has a new black Powerbronze airflow screen and a colour matching Baglux cover and the stand in the images is included with the sale. The original clear screen is also included.
The Mechanics
Mechanically perfect, very reliable bike starts instantly every time and sounds great.
This bike is barely run in with a genuine 281 miles, and battery and tyres have been replaced to ensure they are always in date. Everything on this bike is in full working condition and perfect order.
The Appeal
The BMW K 1200 S offers the incredible power and speed of an uncompromising superbike, but comes packed with comfort, solidity, and build integrity.
This example is an incredible time capsule bike, with a genuine almost factory fresh amount of miles and in perfect condition. A machine not to be missed.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
