In the R 1200 ST, the ST could well
stand for Sport and in the R 1200 RT, the RT could mean Touring - both
machines however are fully at home in both situations. The AC Schnitzer
engineers have given the ST more sound, a modified seating position and
exclusive covers for the link journals with the AC Schnitzer Logo. The
RT enjoys the sound of the AC Schnitzer Revolution silencer. The
V-Performance rims in size 5.5 x 17“ and 3.5 x 17“ have been adapted for
both.
Both the R 1200 ST and the R 1200 RT
in AC Schnitzer guise are fitted with Revolution silencers with a
removable DB killer. The interplay of the boxer engine with the
Revolution silencer gives a deeper note. Two variants are available for
the R 1200 ST: one following the standard shape for use with luggage,
and a raised version for the more sporting driver. The systems can be
fitted with a manifold without catalyst.

AC Schnitzer Superbike steering conversion
AC Schnitzer cover caps
In the development of the Superbike
steering conversion, the line between sports and touring use has been
totally relocated. A complete new fork bridge of high strength aluminium
is used, with a link strut specially designed for the R 1200 S. This
relieves the load on the wrists, lower arms and back on longer journeys,
and ensures complete machine control at faster speeds. A similar
conversion is also available for the K 1200 R and K 1200 S models.
