    Good Points: looks.comfort.

    Bad Points: BMW dealer seem reluctant to recall when there are obvious problems.

    General comments: Having rode motorcycles for 40 yrs the BMW K1200GT is one of the best, after a short period of time some faults started to show, clutch squealed on take off, they fitted a new modified thrust bearing this did not cure the fault and led to another long wait before a new clutch could be fitted. On another occasion while riding in warm conditions on a country road with some lovely twists and turns the bike started to misbehave by accelerating on its own with having to pull the clutch in to control it. Yet BMW would if left to them make me wait 4 to 5 weeks before they could look at the problem even though plenty of other bikes have had the same problem. Finally and at this moment in time the ewc as a fault this is been recalled but was only informed when I tried to sort out the other problems. to sum up this bike is brilliant to ride but and very comfortable .but if you want one only buy it from a BMW dealer and make sure the above faults have been rectified.

    Having not rode a bike for 17 years and then jumping on the 1200 GT -well, what a bike. It felt fantastic. A bream - smooth and graceful with pulling power. Then a bought it. But also tried the 1200 GS - no thanks - it wasn't for me. - But I'm sure its a good all rounder.

    Tried the rest they didn't match up to the BMW K1200. Build quality just didn't compare. Also the 6th gear in a few were really only overdrives - not the beemer it has the torque to cope from 30.

    The BMW K1200GT is a powerful, quiet, comfortable bike for trips of all lengths, the K1200GT's main shortcoming is mileage which is not much better than a Honda Civic. I ride a completely stock 2004, and I love it.

"OK, I haven't ridden the K1200GT in anger, but it is surely just BMW's interpretation of a sports bike (i.e. the K1200RS) in a more voluminous frock, isn't it?
