Good Points: Handling and comfort were outstanding. The dealer was good.
Bad Points: Break in period with oil consumption.
General comments: I have a 2008 BMW K1200s. After riding a 2005 Honda cbr 100rr, the BMW is a join. Perfect seating position, ABS, and has all the power I need. Handling is superb.

The BMW K1200s is very stable fantastic handling, braking is outstanding. Good comfortable ride whether on mounting passes or motorway, reasonable mpg for a bike so fast and powerfull. Not yet been on anything yet to match this terrific machine.
Shaft drive obviously cuts down on chain wear but a little heavy on tyres try the avon storms, my opinion but I have worn the bobbles on the footrest so they must have good grip.

I swapped my 99 R1100s for a 2005 K12S, and when I first sat on the bike I though "doh, this thing is huge!", but when it started moving it made me forgot instantly my old boxer. The power is astounding although it is easily doseable, you can easily ride at 100 km/h on 6th gear or break the law at more than 180 km/h in 3rd. The stability is rock-solid and the bike in general is quite comfortable.

This K1200s is my third BMW, I have owned a r1100rt, k1200lt and a k122s. Power is awesome, every day I learn more what this machine can do, seat is a little hard, but good support, plenty of room for two up. Wife loves this bike, that's all iIneed. My wife keeps telling me to go faster?

I have no regrets buying the K1200S as it always leaves me wanting to ride that bit further. With the handling and the awesome power it begs you to ride which gets you as fast out of trouble as get you into trouble. I had an Aprilia Sports Tourer before the K1200S but I wouldn't go back. The K1200S looks great, feels great and people are amazed when they see it that it's a BMW.

I have owned my BMW K1200S since 16th November 2006. It's a full spec 2007 model in Night Black, the only dealer fit option I never ordered was the Tyre Pressure Control which wasn't available when I placed the original order. I have completed 4500miles to date and have ridden it on the salt laden roads of the UK with only about 6 washes in 4 months. The bike is still in top notch condition whereas a similar Japanese bike would have been seriously damaged by the salt. The BMW heated grips meant ...

First off, let me say that I have been riding these things for over 30 years. Yamahas, Harley Davidsons, Hondas etc. The BMW K1200S really has my attention. I bought this bike even with the negative press it had been receiving simply because I know that the BMW product line gets rough treatment in the Jap oriented bike press. The fact that writers had even a few good things to say about this machine, I thought it might be worth looking into. One hour test ride later I was the owner of a new K120 ...

A stunning sports bike by BMW, that is outstanding in very nearly every department. Looks that rival Cindy Crawford in a swimsuit, supremely competent when it comes to handling, refined power delivery with acceleration, that will take your breath away above 6,000 RPM, quality components that make you want to touch everything, VERY comfortable, etc...
Took the bike into a Honda/Suzuki/Kawasaki dealer to get a puncture repaired, and was quickly told 'we don't repair BMWs', while everyone in th ...
