Bmw K 1200 Lt
The Bmw K 1200 Lt has a top speed of 200 km/h, produces 116 hp and weighs 370 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
A BMW K 1200 LT foi introduzida em 1999 como a principal motocicleta de turismo de luxo da BMW, projetada para competir diretamente com a Honda Gold Wing no segmento premium de turismo de longa distância. Ele apresentava um motor de quatro cilindros em linha montado longitudinalmente, um suporte central eletro-hidráulico, pára-brisas ajustável eletricamente e uma marcha à ré opcional, tornando-o um dos veículos de turismo mais avançados tecnologicamente de sua época. A produção continuou até 2009, quando a BMW a interrompeu sem uma substituição direta, deixando uma lacuna em sua linha que foi parcialmente resolvida pela K 1600 GTL lançada em 2011.

O que os compradores devem saber
Watch the Final Drive
The shaft final drive and rear differential are known weak points — inspect for leaks and check service history, as replacements can cost $1,000–$2,500.
Flagship Touring Comfort
The K1200LT features a fully adjustable suspension, heated seats, reverse gear, and a massive fairing — making it one of the most comfortable touring bikes ever built.
Depreciated, But Hold Value
Values have stabilized significantly in the used market, making a well-maintained example a strong buy; however, high repair costs can erode savings if maintenance has been neglected.
Gerações e especificações por ano
Lançado o K1200LT original; motor de quatro em linha, carenagem completa, bagagem integrada, marcha à ré e suspensão pneumática padrão.
"O trono definitivo de longa distância, se você ousar estacioná-lo."
Depois de 15.000 milhas no K1200LT, posso dizer que o motor é genuinamente excepcional: o quatro em linha puxa com força a 3.500 rpm e o assento aquecido, as alças aquecidas e o aparelho de som integrado fazem com que a condução transcontinental pareça quase absurda em seu conforto. A suspensão pneumática é muito inteligente na rodovia, absorvendo as juntas de dilatação sem problemas, embora ocasionalmente caça nervosamente em estradas B quebradas, como se não conseguisse se comprometer. A marcha à ré parece complicada até que você suba uma colina do lado de fora de um hotel suíço e 335 kg de motocicleta começam a rolar para trás; então é a melhor característica que a BMW já usou em qualquer coisa. Mas sejamos honestos sobre esse peso: não é apenas um número, é um compromisso físico genuíno toda vez que você move esta bicicleta em baixa velocidade e, se pegar uma bota errada em um estacionamento de cascalho, está pedindo ajuda.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"The ultimate tourer — if you buy the right one."
$5,000-$10,000 usedThe K1200LT is BMW's grand touring heavyweight done properly — when it works, nothing touches it for long-haul comfort. That inline-four pulls smoothly from low revs, the fairing cuts wind like a fighter jet canopy, and the heated seats genuinely work. Find a well-maintained example and you'll cover 600-mile days feeling fresher than you deserve. But here's the thing — neglected examples are a money pit waiting to swallow your wallet whole. The ABS, reverse gear motor, and radio electronics are all potential headaches on high-mileage bikes that haven't been loved. Budget realistically. Service intervals aren't optional suggestions here, and parts aren't cheap. The final drive and clutch on anything over 80k miles deserve serious inspection before you hand over cash. Get a pre-purchase inspection — non-negotiable. Check the Paralever rear suspension for play and look for any signs of the notorious ABS pump issues. The right one is genuinely brilliant; the wrong one is genuinely brutal.
