BMW K1200RS

The BMW K1200RS is a sport-touring motorcycle made by BMW and the last evolution of the BMW four-cylinder longitudinal engine, often called the flying brick. From 1996 to 2004, 37,992 units were built at the BMW plant in Spandau, Germany. Until 2000 the factory code was K589; for model year 2001 the K1200RS was revised with a new model code, K547, with a modified front headlight panel, a lower foot peg position, slightly raised handlebars and ABS made standard instead of optional. In 2003 a GT version was introduced with a more upright seating position, adjustable footpegs, a larger electrically adjustable windscreen, handguards and colour-coded hard panniers as standard; the K1200GT was produced until 2005, after which it was replaced by a revised version with a transversely mounted inline-four engine for 2006.
