K 1200GT Review


The BMW K1200GT is just a K1200RS with new styling. The horizontal inline-four engine made its debut in the K100 in 1983, marking the beginning of the four-cylinder motor itself. Originally originally 987cc, it increased in size over the next 20 years to its present 1171cc capacity while gaining a sixth gear and keeping the shaft drive.

The engine in the GT has undergone one further modification, making it the most potent BMW has ever produced. With a stated 130 horsepower and 86 pound-feet of torque, the motor should be the realization of every touring rider's fantasy. Sadly, the truth is a little different.

The GT has color-coded panniers as standard equipment, is stable at high speeds, and is quite comfortable while traveling straight. There is low acceleration, poor ground clearance, and subpar suspension.

Pros : A very capable and quick tourer with adequate luggage space.
Cons : The engine isn't quite as pleasant as the Pan's

2000 R1150RT Review


The BMW R1150RT boasts a sturdy design that incorporates resilience to salty roads. Particularly, brakes are more weather-resistant than most competitors. Numerous bikes can travel more than 100,000 miles without experiencing any severe issues. Small patches of rust and the occasional electrical hiccup are not unheard of.

The BMW R1150RT's lightweight chassis and excellent engineering result in excellent handling. It's even more shocking considering how sporty-looking the R1150RT is compared to a brieze block. Its dry weight of 255kg is relatively low for a complete tourer. Wet weight is frequently cited, which makes the motorcycle sound hefty. Anti-lock brakes with servo assistance and linking are the best.

The BMW R1150RT provides exceptional comfort for one or two people. The screen may be moved while moving with the press of a button, and the seat and bars can be adjusted at a standstill. Panniers are provided and perform admirably. There are several accessories available, including BMW's excellent heated grips.
