BMW Motorrad at INTERMOT
2006 in Cologne.
Cologne. BMW Motorrad was represented at
INTERMOT 2006 in Cologne by the most extensive
and varied model range in its history. A completely
new range of single-cylinder motorcycles with a
fascinating choice of three very different models,
the G650 Xcountry, the G650 Xchallenge and the
G650 Xmoto, had their world premiere at the fair.
The K series was also extended: the BMW K1200 R
now has a sister model, the K1200 R Sport with
sporty half-fairing.
BMW Motorrad has added the new single-
cylinder models to its product range to attract new
target groups. While they share the same technical
base, these three motorcycles the hard enduro
G650 Xchallenge, the street moto G650 Xmoto
and the scrambler G 650 Xcountry – are very diffe-
rent in character.
With their high-grade product substance, purist
look and unusually sporty handling, these single-
cylinder models occupy attractive niches.
The K1200 R Sport was the fourth model of the
most powerful range of motorcycles to be presented
by BMW Motorrad at INTERMOT. The new K1200 R
Sport’s special feature is the half-fairing fitted to the
frame with the headlamp of the R1200 S.The new
BMW
K1200 R Sport is intended for ambitious,
sporty bikers who attach importance to progressive,
visible technology and appreciate the machine’s
increased versatility.
BMW
has also added a dynamic supermoto
machine to its exclusive HP2 family: the Megamoto.
This motorcycle, based on the HP2 enduro, will
take the lead among two-cylinder supermotos for
street use because of its excellent performance and
superior materials. As a consistent continuation of
the HP2 line, the Megamoto demonstrates impres-
sively the dynamic nature and scope of the Boxer
concept.
