Line 41: ==Design== The engine is a [[flat-twin engine\|flat-twin]] [[History of BMW motorcycles#Oilheads\|"oilhead"]] that has [[air cooling\|air-cooled]] cylinders but [[oil cooling\|oil-cooled heads]]. Derived from the [[BMW R1100RS]], the 1,085 cc [[Fuel injection\|fuel-injected]] [[Multi-valve\|eight-valve]] engine is tuned for a maximum output of {{convert\|98\|hp\|kW\|}} at 8,400rpm.<ref name="Motorcycle20Oct98"/><ref name="bmbikes.co.uk"/> At the time of its introduction, it was BMW's most powerful boxer engine ever made, and the first mated to a six-speed transmission.<ref>{{citation\|title=2007 BMW R1200S Road Test \|journal=Rider \|date=January 26, 2007 \|url=http://www.ridermagazine.com/road-tests/2007-bmw-r1200s-road-test.htm/ \|url-status=dead\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141230223146/http://www.ridermagazine.com/road-tests/2007-bmw-r1200s-road-test.htm/ \|archive-date=2014-12-30 }}</ref> The [[Overhead valve#Developments\|ohv]] engine has chain-driven camshafts mounted in the cylinder heads, operating the valves ''via'' short pushrods and rocker arms. Engines produced after 2003 had [[dual ignition]], with two spark plugs per cylinder.<ref>Haynes Manual - "BMW 850,1100 & 1150 4-valve twins" page 0.8</ref> The compact close-ratio six-speed transmission is derived from the BMW K1200RS.<ref name="Motorcycle20Oct98"/> Far from being a touring overdrive, the top gear gives 20 mph per 1,000rpm, so at 80 mph the engine turns at 4,000rpm. In addition to using the engine as a [[Motorcycle frame#Stressed member\|stressed member]], the R1100S has a composite aluminum frame to which the suspension components are attached. The front suspension is BMW's [[patent]]ed [[History of BMW motorcycles#Telelever fork\|Telelever]], with long [[telescopic fork\|telescopic fork sliders]] containing neither springs nor damping. In order to minimize [[Suspension (motorcycle)#Brake dive\|"fork dive"]], braking forces are taken back to the frame ''via'' a pivoting wishbone. A [[monoshock]] on this wishbone copes with springing and damping.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.dinamoto.it/dinamoto/8_on-line_papers/Telelever%20or%20forks/Telelever_eng.html\|title=BMW Telelever and telescopic forks: which is better?\|publisher=dinamoto.it\|access-date=29 December 2014\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100516043608/http://www.dinamoto.it/dinamoto/8_on-line_papers/Telelever%20or%20forks/Telelever.html\|archive-date=16 May 2010\|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.motorbikestoday.com/features/Articles/bmw_telelever.htm\|title=BMW Telelever Explained\|publisher=Motorbikes Today\|access-date=29 December 2014}}</ref> The rear suspension comprises BMW's "[[History of BMW motorcycles#Paralever\|Paralever]]", a [[Swingarm#single-sided swingarm\|single-sided swinging arm]] encompassing [[shaft drive#Motorcycle drive shafts\|shaft drive]].<ref name="motorbikestoday">{{cite web\|url=http://www.motorbikestoday.com/reviews/Articles/bmw_r1100s_03.htm\|title=BMW R1100S Road test\|publisher=motorbikestoday.com\|access-date=21 December 2014}}</ref> The Paralever mounts directly to the frame instead of to the gearbox as on earlier oilheads. A reviewer reported: “The result is greater frame rigidity and better handling".<ref name="Motorcycle20Oct98"/> A detachable tubular [[subframe]] supports the rider and passenger. The R1100S has a very substantial half fairing which completely envelops the alloy fuel tank. Both the hugger (after market option) and front fender are made of carbon-fibre. The two-into-one exhaust feeds twin silencers tucked up high beneath the pillion seat, like those on the [[Ducati 916]].<ref name=what2004/> Factory options originally available from BMW included electrically heated grips, [[Anti-lock braking system\|ABS]] brakes and a belly-pan fairing.<ref name="motorbikestoday"/>
