We have not seen a BMW in a while, so this was refreshing. Looks to be in great shape. If you want to go long distances, you like speed and schnitzel, check this out.
Motorcycle News did a review covering all aspects of the bike. “The BMW K1200RS is almost an ultra-sports tourer but lacking a few bhp and a carrying too much weight. The K1200RS carved its own niche as a superb high-speed distance bike that could carry a pillion and luggage too without breaking a sweat. Radical Telelever front suspension’s no longer novel but still works and build quality remains a strong point so big mileages are very possible.”
Not quite as nimble as our coveted sport bikes, but holds speed steady in the wind and looks sharp on the highway.
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
Hmm, just beware of the reputation of the final drive units on these.
@Vince – Good to know! (We prefer rice over schnitzel – so thanks for the intel.)
