Do all BMW motorcycles have drivetrains?

Wee-a-boo?

I know a lot do, not sure if some use chains. Also other companies that use drivetrains on their motocycles would be appreciated.

ALL motorized vehicles have a drivetrain of some sort. The DRIVETRAIN is normally thought to be the method that the vehicle uses to transmit power from the transmission to the rear wheels.

If you mean DRIVESHAFT, then no... Not ALL BMW motorcycles are shaft-driven. The F800 and G/F650 are chain driven.

Several other motorcycles feature shaft-drive, including the 1500 and 1600cc Kawasaki Vulcans, The Honda Gold Wing, the Yamaha Royal Star, and too many others to mention.

BMW introduced the new K1200S Sports Bike which marked a departure for BMW. It is both powerful (the engine is a 167 hp (125 kW) unit derived from the company's work with the Williams F1 team) and significantly lighter than previous K models. It was BMW's latest attempt to keep up with the pace of development of sports machines from the likes of Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Suzuki. Innovations include a unique electronically adjustable front and rear suspension, and a Hossack-type front fork BMW calls Duolever. BMW was one of the earliest manufacturers to offer anti-lock brakes on production motorcycles starting in the late 1980s. The generation of anti-lock brakes available on the 2006 and later BMW motorcycles pave the way for the introduction of sophisticated electronic stability control, or anti-skid technology – a first for production motorcycles – later in the 2007 model year.
