Advantages: none

Disadvantages: heavy and thursty on fuel

Bmw k1200RS, this bike is not a patch on any of the japanese machines i have ridden, i find my k1200 a heavy clumsy machine to ride with the exeption of motorway riding. my Yamaha R1 and Honda CBR600F are far better machines. if you want a heavy and thursty machine to get you to the south of france in a straight line well this is it, if you want a quality tourer you need to buy the RT, the K1200RS is not that good on fuel, at good progressive riding you only get around 160 miles to a tank. (over 250 on the RT) the bike is very heavy even without its luggage, going into corners i find the bike wanting to tuck into the turn due to the flat styled engine, its a bike i wont be buying again i think i will stick to japanese machines in future. this is only an opinion not a fact.

Summary: not i bike i would keep
