About BMW K1200GT

The BMW K1200GT is a sport-touring motorcycle made by BMW. The first generation K1200GT came out in 2003 and had a traditional “Brick” longitudinally mounted four cylinder engine. Criticisms of this model included its weight, lack of power, and poor ground clearance, but it still rated as a very comfortable and high-speed tourer. The second-generation K1200GT, introduced in 2006, uses essentially the same inline-4 engine as the BMW K1200S sportbike, which held the world speed record in 2005 for its class at 279.33 km/h (173.57 mph), and the K1200R. The new model was lighter and more powerful than the 2003 first-generation K1200GT. The K1200GT's standard equipment includes an adjustable seat and handlebars, integral ABS, dry sump lubrication, panniers, and electronically adjustable screen.
