BMW K1200 GT, 2006-2008
Second Generation
 

Significant revisions.

Higher level of touring comfort with a substantially lower weight of 249kg. In short, it handled far better thanks to a massively superior frame and suspension arrangement.

The big change was to be found in the suspension setup, with BMW’s Duolever at the front and EVO-Paralever at the rear. The front was a Hossack style set-up, while the rear offered a single-side, double-jointed swingarm.

New four-cylinder engine that made its debut in the 123kW K 1200 S. It developed 112kW in its GT specification, which made it the most powerful machine in its segment by some margin.

The bike came with an electrically adjustable windscreen, adjustable rider’s seat and handlebars, as well as panniers included as standard.
Apart from a fully controlled three-way catalytic converter, the high performance EVO brake system with semi-integral ABS brakes and an electronic immobiliser were among the features offered.
The standard seat could be set to a height of either 820 or 840 millimetres and a lower seat was available with minimum seat height of 800 mm.

As usual, BMW offered a wide range of optional extras and special equipment, including Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA). ESA allows the rider, apart from the damping on the two spring struts, to also adjust the spring base (spring pre-tension) on the rear spring strut as well as its spring rate and spring hardness, conveniently at the touch of a button.
Also optional was an on-board computer, Xenon headlight, cruise control, and the new Motorrad Navigator III.

In late 2008, the K1200 GT war replaced ty the K1300 GT
