The BMW K1200 and K1200RS are sport touring motorcycles that were produced by BMW Motorrad between 2004 and 2009. These models represented a significant leap in technology for BMW, offering a blend of performance, comfort, and advanced features that set them apart from their predecessors. Both models shared the same 1157 cc, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, which produced a respectable 150 horsepower and 92 lb-ft of torque. This powerplant was paired with a 6-speed transmission and was renowned for its smooth delivery and linear power progression. The K1200RS was the sportier variant, featuring a fully faired bodywork, clip-on handlebars, and a revised suspension setup tuned for more aggressive handling. Conversely, the K1200 offered a more relaxed riding experience with a semi-faired design and more upright handlebars. One of the most defining aspects of the K1200 models was their innovative "Duolever" front suspension system. This unique design used two swinging arms connected to a central pivot, offering a rigid and stable feel while maintaining a degree of compliance for a comfortable ride. Similarly, the rear suspension employed a Paralever system, ensuring consistent handling and a smooth ride even under heavy load. Beyond mechanical prowess, the K1200 and K1200RS also featured a suite of advanced electronic features, including ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment), and ASC (Automatic Stability Control). These systems aimed to enhance safety and control, making the motorcycles more accessible and enjoyable to ride in various conditions. The K1200 and K1200RS were praised for their overall performance, handling, and technological advancements, solidifying their position as capable and comfortable sport touring motorcycles. However, their complexity and high maintenance costs made them less popular than their predecessors in the long run. They remain sought-after machines for enthusiasts who appreciate their unique engineering and performance capabilities.
