View this on our website! BMW K 1200 R Power Cup Racer Here is an unbelievably rare chance to own a genuine; factory built BMW K 1200 R Power Cup Race Bike, the only example in the USA. Before they launched the amazing S1000RR superbike in 2010, BMW considered entering MotoGP and while they developed a potential race bike, they wanted a presence at MotoGP races, so began sponsorship of the Safety Car and circuit vehicles through their automotive M-Power brand. For even greater spectator influence, they introduced a one make race series, the Power Cup, and this series supported 7 major European grand prix in 2005-6 with a grid of 36 machines providing ultra close and competitive racing. The exclusive bikes were only available to teams through BMW subsidiaries or official importers and were modified directly by BMW Motorrad Motorsport in Munich after assembly at the plant in Berlin. As with the earlier Boxer Cup series, veteran US GP racer Randy Mamola once again acted as an official Ambassador and the factory made several machines available to VIP guests riders at select rounds to raise the profile of the series. WB10584076ZN10101 is one of those VIP factory bikes and still carries a scrutineering sticker from one of the 2005 rounds. Starting as the most powerful, road legal naked ever built, BMW honed the bike for circuit use with carbon fiber bodywork and an even more powerful engine, delivering a claimed 175 bhp. The 230kg monster was further lightened with a unique Laser racing exhaust helping to shed a few more unwanted lbs and delivering a much sportier exhaust note. F1 quality carbon adorned the headlight surround and series specific electronic dashboard with lap timing capability and gearshift indicator, hand guards, intake panels, pillion seat cover, and a series specific engine undertray was added to meet race regulations with essential crash bungs mounted in several key locations. K 1200 R Power Cup machines sported an electronic quick-shifter, later seen on the road-going HP2 sport, and bespoke adjustable rear-sets and foot pegs from the French manufacturer Gilles. Suspension was again, series specific from the well-known Dutch White Power concern. This bike was imported into the US directly by BMW Motorrad Motorsport and raced successfully by well-known US racers Brian Parriott of San Jose and Nate Kern out of Atlanta. Modifications have been limited to all black body panels (the carbon remains unpainted) and wheels, and aftermarket adjustable rear torque arm and Remus titanium silencer, which makes the bike sound like a Phantom jet. This vehicle is in great condition, but sold as seen, complete with used slick tires and rear paddock stand and is offered with a selection of extremely rare Power Cup accessories. RACE USE ONLY!
