Those adjectives are especially true of the sportiest production boxer-twin ever, the 2006 BMW R1200S. BMW says this latest model tapes in at 419 pounds dry a whopping 111 pounds lighter than the R1100S it replaces. And with a claimed peak power of 122 bhp at 8250 rpm, the R1200S is decidedly fast; in fact, it's the fastest, most powerful boxer ever to roll out of a BMW showroom.
