The BMW’s K1200GT is basically a restyled K1200RS. The four cylinder motor itself can trace its roots to 1983, when the horizontal inline-four engine first appeared in the K100. Back then it was only 987cc, but over the course of the next 20 years it gained a sixth gear, kept the shaft drive and developed into its current 1171cc capacity.

In the GT, the engine has received another tweak to make it the most powerful BMW has ever made. With a claimed 130bhp and 86ft-lb of torque the motor sounds like it should be the answer to every touring rider’s dreams. That said, the GT is very good at covering large distances effortlessly. I can honestly say the GT is the comfiest bike I have ever ridden. The seating position is close to perfection, with the seat itself full of padding, and the bars at just the right height to stop aches and pains in your wrists. I covered over 600 miles of dual carriageway in a day and got off the bike at the end feeling fine and ready for a night on the beers, not a session with a chiropractor.

One of the main differences between the RS and GT is the fairing which has air scoops on the GT to deflect the air around the rider’s legs and hands. These not only deflect wind but also rain away from your body keeping you dry and warm. Also, you get as standard a two-height adjustable seat, a plug-in point for heated clothing etc, an electrically-adjustable screen and optional extras including a heated seat, cruise control and heated grips.

You can view this Motorcycle Monday to Saturday 9am-5pm. We are located at 1047 Bourke Street, Waterloo, NSW
