The BMW K1200 and K1200LT, produced from 2003 to 2009, were a significant technological leap for the German manufacturer. These sport touring motorcycles were powered by a liquid-cooled, 1157cc, 4-stroke, inline-four cylinder engine known for its smooth power delivery and impressive torque. The K1200 series featured a unique front suspension system, dubbed the Duolever, which utilized a pair of trailing arms connected to a single central fork. This innovative design provided precise handling and excellent road feedback, while the telescopic rear suspension offered adjustable preload and rebound damping. The K1200LT, a luxurious touring model, further enhanced comfort with features like a large windscreen, heated seats and grips, and a generous passenger seat. The K1200 models held their own in the competitive sport touring segment, with their powerful engines, advanced chassis, and sophisticated features appealing to both experienced riders and those looking for a comfortable and capable machine. Their popularity was underscored by the inclusion of a range of electronic aids, including ABS and traction control, further enhancing their safety and performance. However, despite their innovations and positive reception, the K1200 series was discontinued in 2009. This was attributed to a combination of factors, including the rising popularity of more compact and lighter sport touring motorcycles, as well as the increasing complexity and cost of maintaining the unique Duolever suspension system. Nevertheless, the K1200 and K1200LT remain highly regarded by enthusiasts for their technical sophistication and impressive blend of performance and touring comfort.
