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. Available options include: electronic suspension adjustment (ESA), xenon light, onboard computer including oil level warning, automatic stability control (ASC), heated seat, heated hand grips, tire pressure monitoring (TPM), cruise control and anti-theft alarm.
