BMW K1200LT
The BMW K1200LT is a luxury bike like no other touring cruiser, though it isn’t the same class as the Honda Goldwing, the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide, and the Yamaha Royal Star Venture. However, unlike these bikes, the BMW K1200LT carries great style and substance which appeals to many riders. Perhaps the best feature of the K1200LT is the smooth suspension which is standard on most BMW vehicles. This carries over into the K1200LT, so you won’t be feeling those potholes or speed bumps.
BMW hasn’t skimped on the amenities with the K1200LT, as there’s an electro-hydraulic center stand, as well as tailored seating which can be heated if the rider desires. In addition to these great features, the BMW K1200LT also features a flat-screen display with a 6 disc CD changer. In addition, owners have the option to get a bike which has illumination underneath for greater showability, and a better measure of safety while mounting and dismounting in the dark. In addition to this, the BMW K1200LT also features adjustable footrests for the passenger, cruise control, and even bright a bright Xenon headlamp for great night rides.
The engine of the BMW K1200LT purrs just like a standard BMW car motor, with its powerful water-cooled four-stroke engine which puts out nearly 116 horsepower and 86 lbs of torque. The BMW K1200LT requires premium fuel to get up and go, and has twin floating disc breaks to make those extra hard stops when you need them. The stability of the bike is ensured with the BMW Motorrad ABS breaking system, which helps keep rider and bike safe in full quick stops.
The BMW K1200LT gas tank will hold up to 6 gallons of fuel with one gallon in reserve, which is larger than most touring bikes offered on the market today. All of these features make the BMW K1200LT a great touring bike. The cost of the bike is around $22,000 and while its not cheap, it is luxurious, which is what most BMW bike owners look for.
