Dr. Diess on BMW HP models: Q: Will you in the future launch High Power versions in all your model series? For instance, could we see a K1200S HP, R1200S HP, F800S HP and so on in the future? If not, what is the plan? A: We can imagine another HP model in the future. But initially we will be concentrating on the 2-cylinder flat twin. R&R comment: This hints at a R1200S HP as our illustration shows.
Dr. Diess on the K-series: At the moment the K series is complete. The K 1200 S currently remains the top model in terms of engine performance. R&R comment: This means that a K1200S HP4 Sport
model is not ready for any imminent launch, however that BMW supersport you have seen being tested on the racetrack in Spain is just as likely to be a test bike of a future HP model based on the in-line four engine, or a brand new K1000S to compete with the litre bikes and WSB in the future. If any manufacturer has shown to be capable of putting groundbreaking technology in its road bikes it is BMW. Many bikes has been rumoured to get traction control in 2007 and 2008. The BMW being tested at the moment could well be such a roadbike. But the official line is that the bike is merely a "technology bearer". The full interview with the answers on the Aprilia RXV co-operation, the future of the GS and BMW in the world markets will be published at a later date. More as the story develops. Interview b
