Peak performance and absolute amenities mile after mile after mile.
Among the forty-four standard features included on the dynamically modified K 1200 LT are a higher output engine, a modified gearbox, chrome package, a redesigned instrument panel and seats, a new paint finishes, and an electro-hydraulic center stand. Engineered for high-performance hauls over endless lengths of road, the K 1200 LT offers one of the smoothest, most comfortable rides imaginable.

Man's great dream of freedom now has a new dimension: the BMW K1200LT offers unsurpassed luxury for gliding along in relaxed comfort on the neverending open road. It also has the benefit of one or two innovations. The high-performance engine delivers 116 bhp and 120 Nm torque for swift acceleration when overtaking, even carrying a full load. The WAD spring strut with travel-dependent damping increases ride comfort especially on journeys when you have a pillion passenger and luggage. The seathas been narrowed according to an ergonomics analysis to make handling more convenient. Ground lighting makes getting on and off the bike safer. The BMW K 1200 LT can also offer the world’s first electrohydraulic extending
centre stand. All you need now is the time to enjoy it.

The latest generation of the luxury touring bike BMW K 1200 LT perfectly fulfils the dream of independent travel. Its outstanding technology is state-of-the-art, its comfort first-class, and it has everything you need for perfectly relaxed cruising, whether alone or with a pillion: a powerful 116-bhp (85-kW) engine for dynamic performance; the world’s first electro-hydraulic main stand; the ground lights; the narrower seat for safe standing and the central locking which also secures all panniers.

 To enable you to fully enjoy this experience to the full, the BMW K 1200 LT provides an excellent audio sound system with radio and CD player. The song “Route 66” by Bobby Troup has never sounded as authentic than when it pounds out of the four pairs of speakers. A glance at the Info Flatscreen in the cockpit is also very satisfying: the trip counter already indicates five hundred relaxed miles. This kind of luxurious touring gives every passionate motorcyclist his own personal kick.

The engine of the BMW K 1200 LT develops its enormous maximum 120 Nm of torque at just 5,250 rpm. There really is no more relaxed way to ride off into the sunset than on the BMW K 1200 LT. The standard BMW Motorrad Integral ABS responds absolutely and reliably to any emergency stop.

On a long journey, it's best to put the electrically adjustable windshield in an optimum position, sit back comfortably in the heatable leather seat and
switch on the cruise control of the BMW K 1200 LT. The BMW K 1200 LT lands gently on the strip – like an UFO, at least this is the impression created by the ground lights. At the press of a button, the luxury tourer rises on its electrohydraulic main stand and virtually automatically places itself firmly and squarely in the lamplight. The central locking is equally convenient – by remote control. The luxury tourer is now completely secured, including all panniers. Now place the hot cup in the cup holder of the BMW K 1200 LT.

More power and increased output for even more sublime touring. The water-cooled in-line 4-cylinder engine has a capacity of 1172 cc, and a power output of an impressive 116 bhp (85 kW). However, much more important for dealing with the variety of riding situations encountered on long-distance tours is a powerful torque curve. The 100 Nm boundary is crossed at 2800 rpm. At 5250 rpm, the engine delivers an impressive 120 Nm. More than enough to be able to pull away powerfully even at idling engine speed and to accelerate swiftly – complete with rider, pillion and luggage.

Perfect parking at the push of a button.

Move the K 1200 LT at the press of a button. The electro-hydraulic main stand is activated at the right-hand side of the handlebars. An electric pump builds up pressure in a hydraulic system and extends the main stand. Even with a full load, the luxury tourer glides effortlessly onto its electrohydraulic main stand. This exclusive feature equally increases convenience and safety. It enables the bike to be parked in narrow parking spaces and eliminates any possibility of the bike tipping over as with manual stand operation.

Absolutely necessary luxury. The excellent brake system.

The standard BMW Motorrad ABS, in its fully integral version with brake booster, enables highly effective deceleration with maximum safety. Complete locking of the wheels is prevented and the maximum amount of brake pressure is automatically transferred so that the wheels remain just short of the locking boundary. The fully integral brake system always takes effect on both wheels – whether you use the hand lever or the pedal. The new pressure modulator ensures that the brake force is perfectly calibrated for the double-disc brake at the front and the singledisc brake at the rear, depending on load and road conditions.

A successful track record. With Telelever and Paralever.

Accurate directional stability, first-class handling, impressive comfort and ride stability on bends all come as standard with this chassis. At the front there is the patented BMW Motorrad Telelever – the unique combination of telefork and swing arm construction with central strut. This also reduces brake dive to a minimum. At the rear, the BMW Motor rad Paralever takes on the function of rear wheel guidance and power transmission. Suspension and damping is effected by means of a central WAD (travel-related damping) strut, which increases damping during the compression phase. The adjustable hydraulic pre-tension of the strut is especially useful. Simply raise the seat, fold out the hand-wheel,
adjust the pretension and the K 1200 LT is prepared for two-person use or loading of the 120 litres storage space. The 40° lean capacity can thus be enjoyed to the full.

Luxury as standard.
Whichever way you look at it, the K 1200 LT is something special, and its refined style is emphasised by the numerous chrome parts. The highresolution Info Flatscreen provides a comprehensive range of information, including total and trip mileage, time, gear display, air and water temperature, ice warning, average fuel consumption, fuel level indicator and radio information. Heated grips and cruise control are two more standard features that improve the comfort of the riding experience.

Unique even when it comes off the factory production line. Thanks to individualised optional equipment.

The BMW K 1200 LT scarcely leaves anything to be desired even with its standard fittings. With the factory-fitted optional equipment, you can fulfil your individual dreams of luxury touring. For example, your motorcycle can be supplied with a complete installation kit for the new BMW Motorrad Navigator. With the optional central locking system, panniers topcase and storage compartment can all be locked by pressing a single button on the remote control. It is included in a package with the anti-theft warning system and ground lights. Safety is significantly enhanced by the specially developed Xenon headlight.* The spectral composition of its beam is very similar to that of natural light, meaning it puts less strain on the eyes, and as it is twice as powerful as a standard halogen beam, it gives significantly better and more even illumination of the road ahead, and makes the bike a lot more visible. At BMW Motorrad, we believe safety and luxury are two sides of the same coin.
