The BMW K1200 and K1200RS are high-performance sport touring motorcycles that were produced by BMW Motorrad from 1997 to 2006. These motorcycles were known for their powerful engines, advanced technology, and comfortable riding experience. The K1200 was the base model, while the K1200RS was a sport-oriented version with a more aggressive fairing and a lower riding position. Both models featured a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 1157 cc inline-four engine that produced a claimed 130 horsepower and 81 lb-ft of torque. This engine was mated to a six-speed transmission and a shaft drive system.

The K1200 and K1200RS were equipped with a number of innovative features for their time, including an electronic fuel injection system, an anti-lock braking system (ABS), and a telescopic front fork with adjustable preload and rebound damping. The K1200RS also featured a single-sided swingarm with a monoshock rear suspension. These motorcycles were praised for their smooth and powerful engine, precise handling, and comfortable riding position. They were also known for their reliability and durability, making them popular choices for long-distance touring. The K1200 and K1200RS were replaced by the K1200R and K1200S in 2005, which featured a revised engine design, styling, and technology. However, they remain popular choices for riders who are looking for a powerful and comfortable sport touring motorcycle.
