BMW Other description

2006 BMW K1200 GT, You are looking at a one of a kind BMW K1200GT with Lava Orange pearl paint, it has a fresh set of michelin Pilot Road 2, recent service, cruise control, ESA ride control, heated grips, heated seat, Body computer, ABS Brakes, Power wind screen. Its loaded and read for its new owner. Below is a copy of a road test on the K1200 GT, there is alot of good information, enjoy the pictures and the video as well. BMW Motorrad ushers in a new era for sport-touring riders with the fast, fun and versatile K1200GT. Based on the enigmatic K1200S and K1200R platform, the K1200GT offers up all the performance you could possibly need from a touring machine while simultaneously providing creature comforts that will endear it to Beemer aficionados as well as those not yet afflicted with a taste for BMW's Teutonic quirkiness. The K1200GT is stacked with components and numbers that look great on paper. Topping the list is a motor that produces a claimed 152 horsepower, EVO Paralever rear suspension, Duolever front end and a rock-steady aluminum composite chassis wrapped in aerodynamically-friendly bodywork. After spending a day at the controls of the new K, I can honestly tell you that getting from Point A to Point B with saddlebags full of sundries has rarely been so much fun. Our test mules were fully-loaded units with nearly all the optional bells and whistles installed, such as the Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA) system ($775), heated seat ($270), heated hand grips ($200), cruise control ($310) and On Board Computer ($215). Of all those potential options, ESA might be the most important option you can pick up for this or any BMW, so make sure to pony-up the cash for this one. Being able to select from three pre-determined settings (Normal, Sport and Comfort) that alter front rebound along with rear rebound and compression is so convenient and rider-friendly that I predict more companies will follow suit in the near future. For now, however, you'll have to ride BMW if you want to experience it for yourself. Kenny threw the new K1200GT around the curvy roads of Northern Arizona during the BMW North America press intro. Utilizing the 1157cc motor found in the K1200R, the GT has had its powerplant tuned a little different, to earn the Gran Turismo moniker. Powering this technologically-sophisticated cycle is basically the same single-intake 1157cc in-line four-cylinder motor found in the K1200R, but with torque-biased cams and injection mapping in the ECU that reduces peak horsepower from the R's 163 hp to 152 horses. BMW claims the GT spits out a couple extra lb-ft of torque (96 lb-ft) over the K1200R, and that it does so 500 revs sooner at 7750 rpm. At the rear wheel, our dyno measured the power of the dual-intake 2005 K1200S at 143 hp and 82.7 lb-ft of torque.The GT's fuel-injected engine feels great for sport-touring duty thanks to loads of mid-range power and spot-on fuel-injection mapping. The tuning for torque at the expense of top-e
