| | Review | | The K1200S -Superb machine, Haven't had it long so maintenance costs etc not sure about yet.
As an avid admirer/owner of a VFR, this is the cream topping. Been touring around Switzerland 2 up with heavy loads absolutley solid as a rock and still has amazing power ! Gear changing took a bit getting used to, clunky 1-3, and now smooth as silk as engine speed and clutch action all importatnt to get a smooth ride. The balance is amazing - feels lighter than a VFR, I have the ESA suspension and oh wow, it's a joy to have - so cool.
Average about 48mpg fully loaded and have often got 55mpg on several tanks.
I don't want another bike (Three in the garage), I've had too many to mention. The BMW ticks all the boxes for me. I just love sports tourers, if you do, there's nothing else in my opinion.
I use the SW-Motech kit for fitting Givi panniers & top box - clever system, gets rid of the awful scafolding other frames leave on your bike - you can't have a mess on a K1200S
Reach your destination, take off the luggage and you've got an impressive sports machine.
I can't wait to get my leg over her tonite :-) | | | Submitted by | | crasher123 in Wadhurst, East Sussex on 16/10/2008 | | | This ad has been viewed 8627 times | | | Write a review for BMW K1200 | | | See more reviews for BMW K1200 |
