Steve
Chapman is an East Coast professional photographer who has covered
AHDRA, IDBA. NHRA and other events for the last ten years.
Jim McClure was a 19 time National Champion. He passed away in 2004.
|
The
new K1200RS Turbo is capable of 350hp @ 24 psi but is shipped set for
up to 15 psi which gives a respectable 255 hp @ 9000 rpm. For the daily
commute here in Southern California we turn the wastegate down to its
minimum setting of 5psi. This video gives you an idea of what a BMW
will do with only 5 psi.

The
only way you can see any of the parts is with the body panels removed.
Access for normal servicing is unaffected and the ceramic coated
muffler is well away from the inside of the left saddle bag. With the
body panels in place there is no hint of what lies beneath. |
Bob
Shammas gives us an "Enjoy Nature" tour through the rose colored
windscreen of his RB Racing ZX-11 Turbo. Bob apologizes for any insects
or low flying objects damaged during the filming of this segment. |

Watch
Ron K. take a K1200RS through its paces on a deserted street. Note how
the sound really does not change between 2000 and 9000 RPM. In the real
world with traffic and other noise, the bike draws no attention
whatsoever. With larger injectors and a ram air system, the faster you
go, the more power you make. |
Mark
Hobbs is the quintessential enthusiast who has the determination to see
a project through to its completion. If don't know what a Grinnall is,
this is your opportunity to see one in action with a 275 hp RB Racing
K1200RS Turbo system.
