MCN summarized the K1200RS by saying it “carved its own niche as a superb high-speed distance bike that could carry a pillion and luggage too without breaking a sweat… build quality remains a strong point so big mileages are very possible.”
The K1200RS and GT were the final evolutions of the flying brick drivetrain, and it was a heavyweight sport-tourer that was BMW’s most powerful motorcycle to date. Basic specs were 130 horsepower, 85 lb-ft of torque, 587 pounds of weight, their first six-speed transmission, and lots of adjustable pieces for rider comfort – shifter, footpegs, and clipons.
