Mans great dream of freedom now has a new dimension

The BMW K 1200 LT offers unsurpassed luxury for gliding along in relaxed comfort on the neverending open road.
It also has the benefit of one or two innovations.

The high-performance engine delivers 85 kW / 116 hp and 120 Nm torque for swift acceleration when overtaking, even carrying a full load. The new WAD spring strut with travel-dependent damping increases ride comfort especially on journeys when you have a pillion passenger and luggage.

The seat has been narrowed according to an ergonomics analysis to make handling more convenient. Ground lighting makes getting on and off the bike safer. The BMW K 1200 LT can also offer the worlds first electrohydraulic extending centre stand.

All you need now is the time to enjoy it.
