BMW K1200GT

The BMW K1200GT is a sport-touring motorcycle made by BMW. The first generation came out in 2003 with the traditional longitudinally mounted four-cylinder brick engine, and was criticised for its weight, lack of power and poor ground clearance while still rating as a very comfortable and high-speed tourer. The second generation, introduced in 2006, uses essentially the same inline-four engine as the K1200S sportbike, which held the world speed record for its class in 2005 at 279.33 km/h (173.57 mph), and as the K1200R, and was lighter and more powerful. Standard equipment includes an adjustable seat and handlebars, integral ABS, dry sump lubrication, panniers and an electronically adjustable screen; in late 2008 the K1300GT with a 1,293 cc engine producing 160 bhp (119 kW) replaced it.
