Wow! That's the first reaction when you see that motorcycle. This is BG, second reaction before you get on it. This is very comfortable, third reaction, when you sit on it. Piece of cake! fourth reaction once you drive it.
We knew that we would ride in comfort and safety on that huge bike but as much as we were concerned when we assessed its size as much we found it dead easy to use. It takes a few seconds to feel good on-board and to start testing the various accessories (heating handles, heating saddle, adjustable screen, stereo (option) etc...). Amazingly, as long as you keep in mind that with two people on it the whole bike weights more than 500 kg (387 kg the bike alone), you can have a nice and dynamic ridding and stick with your friends on faster looking bikes with one difference: you will look as you would have ridden 5 minutes, after a whole day on the saddle: fresh and happy and the same stands for your passenger!
Of course the best place to fully enjoy the
K1200LT is one large roads and even highways (shame on you) where you will be able to chat with your passenger, without a communication system, thanks to the large adjustable screen, at speeds that are illegal in most European countries.
Another good surprise: with its four cylinders engine and lots of grunt at low revs the fuel consumption stays in the 6 to 6.5l/100km.
From a more practical view the three integrated luggage pieces (top box and panniers) allow you to carry quite a lot of stuff from the lady's vanity (she won't need a mirror as that one is integrated in the top box) to your favorite running shoes. Total volume is: 120 L.
Oh by the way, there is also a rear gear and an electric central stand!
For your next
Unicorn Adventures tour ask for a K1200LT!
