Travel connoisseurs know something special when it comes along.

A case in point is the BMW K 1200 GT, which with its water-cooled, in-line four-cylinder engine with 112 kW (152 bhp) and 130 Nm torque at 7,750 rpm, offers the perfect balance between comfort and performance.
The chassis, with the BMW Motorrad Duolever front wheel suspension and the BMW Motorrad EVO Paralever, provides increased driving safety and comfort.

The BMW K 1200 GT is also available with the unique ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) as an optional extra, enabling riders to adjust the chassis at the push of a button to different driving modes and loads.

The EVO brake system and standard BMW Motorrad Integral ABS in the part integral version make riding a pleasure even at 0 mph. The new BMW K 1200 GT a five-star gran turismo.
