Powerful and fast. Pulls strongley from low revs in any gear. The finish is good. The servo brakes are very effective A great bike once on the move but a pig when stopped. It is very heavy and wants to throw iteslf onto its side. The problems with crankshaft oil seals, clutch slave cylinder are expensive. I live in dread of servo brake control unit problems ( these are not uncommon). With a full BMW warrenty these are OK but once out of warranty (and all of the 03-06 Gts are) they can be a vow of poverty. They have plummeted in value which says it all. Very few people want them which is a pity because blasting accross Europe is a breeze on one.
Overall its the weight that lets it down. Parking and slow speed manoeuvering is awful. If it does fall over it will cost £1000+ to fix.Very heavy. Servo brakes potentially mega expensive. Clutch slave cylinder failed at less than 20K miles. cosy £1000 to fix. It dumps fluid all over the friction plate. If you cruise at over 80mph the fuel consumption goes through the roof and you will get through 20 ltrs in 160 miles or less.

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 ...- Read ray clarke's review (200 words)

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.- Read Guest's review (58 words)

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.- Read Guest's review (116 words)

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.- Read Guest's review (66 words)
