BMW K1200LT Review

Good Points
06 KL1200LT is engineered beyond all other bikes. So well balanced and easy to ride for a large tourer. Complete weather protection. Great ergonomics. Styling is attractive to both men and women. Im 6 ft and 220lbs and dont look or feel too big for the bike.

Bad Points
BMW cost levels (not surprised). Should come stock with a GPS at these prices.

General Comments
1st bike in 22 years. Weight and height was initially intimidating, but have never dropped it. You can u-turn on a 2 lane road with your feet up. Feel like I could ride at any speed. Thought of trading for a K1200RT or similar, but this bike offers enough power and handling to keep you happy and stealthy enough to keep "five- oh" off your tail. Great mpg at any speed. No fatigue on long rides. European styling bests the other chunky touring bikes. Smooth, quiet, and fun if your into that kind of thing.
