Go West.From coast to coast.From the Atlantic to the Pacific – straight across the American continent: unforgettable experiences and a great sense of freedom

await you in the land of limitless possibilities. The latest generation of the luxury touring bike BMW K 1200 LT perfectly fulfils the dream

of independent travel. Its outstanding technology is state-of-the-art, its comfort first-class, and it has everything you need for perfectly

relaxed cruising, whether alone or with a pillion: a powerful engine 85 kW (116 bhp) for dynamic performance; the world’s first electro-

hydraulic main stand; the ground lights; the narrower seat for safe standing and the central locking which also secures all panniers. The

only thing you need now is time for enjoyment – the tour to the west coast is about to start! The first stage of the trip takes us through the

winding Blue Ridge Parkway. It instantly fascinates every motorcyclist; especially on the BMW K 1200 LT, since its easy cornering capability

allows it to take any combination of bends with flying colours. The 4,500-mile westward journey couldn’t have got off to a better start.

To t h e b e s t b u r g e r i n t h e w o r l d .Throughout North Carolina, an endless ribbon of asphalt stretches ahead to the horizon – no other traffic in sight. A solitary truck may

roar past every hundred miles, but otherwise there’s just the sound of the water-cooled 85 kW (116 bhp) in-line 4-cylinder engine of the

BMW K 1200 LT. And of course, your stomach might rumble after a while. Fortunately a neon sign on the Interstate 40 in Hickory heralds

“Bud’s American Café”. Here there is very reliable remedy for an empty stomach: probably the best hamburger in the world. If you happen

to overhear a conversation between truckers on the table next to you, they will probably be talking about the stunning design of the luxury

tourer from Germany standing outside.

M e m p h i s , Te n n e s s e e . K e e p o n r o c k i n g a n d r o l l i n g . The Elvis Presley Boulevard promises a journey back in time to a magical place – Graceland. It’s certainly worth a visit since the property

is still in the same state as it was in 1977. It’s as if the King had only just left his kingdom, so you might meet him here on any street

corner. Back to the present: on the car park filled with fans and buses, the narrow and low seat proves very helpful when manoeuvring the

BMW K 1200 LT since your legs can always stand securely. With the electrical reversing aid you glide elegantly and effortlessly out of

the narrow parking space and then at last emerge with plenty of swing through the bends which take you out of the town. The show must

go on – after all there are still 3,500 miles to go to the west coast.

A l e g e n d o n a s p h a l t . No road has been the subject of songs as often as

the legendary Route 66. It goes without saying that

every motorcyclist would like to experience the

mother of all roads at least once in a lifetime. To

enable you to fully enjoy this experience to the full,

the BMW K 1200 LT provides an excellent audio

sound system with radio and CD player. The song

“Route 66” by Bobby Troup has never sounded as

authentic than when it pounds out of the four pairs

of speakers. A glance at the Info Flatscreen in the

cockpit is also very satisfying: the trip counter already

indicates five hundred relaxed miles. This kind of

luxurious touring gives every passionate motorcyclist

his own personal kick.

B i g . B i g g e r. Te x a s .Dimensions are quite different in Texas: the prairie is vaster, the steaks are bigger, the cowboy hats are higher and the freight trains on

the Rio Grande Main Line are longer. However, in the duel between railroad and bike, the train driver doesn’t have the slightest chance

as the engine of the BMW K 1200 LT develops its enormous maximum 120 Nm of torque. So the luxury tourer gets you faster than

expected to Tascosa, a sleepy town on Ranch Road 1061. Now and again the town wakes up for a rodeo. On these occasions, bikers get

to see the difference between a ride on the BMW K 1200 LT and traditional bronco riding: an untamed horse has neither an extremely

comfortable suspension – nor do you sit in the saddle for days in perfect comfort. There really is no more relaxed way to ride off into the

sunset than on the BMW K 1200 LT.

T h e m o s t e x p e n s i v e h i g h w a y i n t h e w o r l d .The famous Million Dollar Highway runs from Ouray to Silverton. This stretch of road was built with the gravel from the old mines

and genuinely does contain a lot of gold dust. But the real wealth is beyond the road itself: here the wonderful landscape stretches

away into the distance with its rainbow-coloured vegetation providing a habitat not only for elks, bears and deer but also humming-

birds. And if a coyote does happen to cross the path of the BMW K 1200 LT, the standard BMW Motorrad Integral ABS of the latest

generation responds absolutely and reliably to any emergency stop.

B o t h d i r e c t o r a n d l e a d a c t o r – i n y o u r v e r y o w n r o a d m o v i e . Monument Valley – it was for this amazing panorama that Hollywood invented widescreen cinema. Against the background of

legendary westerns and fierce sandstorms, it’s best to put the electrically adjustable windshield in an optimum position, sit back

comfortably in the heatable leather seat and switch on the cruise control of the BMW K 1200 LT. This way you can sit back and

be fascinated by the gigantic natural spectacle and the Elephant’s Feet. After this show, the journey continues via the Hoover

Dam into the gambling city of Las Vegas.

A s i n g l e l u c k y s t r e a k . F r o m t h e A t l a n t i c t o N e v a d a a n d o n .Las Vegas arises out of the desert sand in surreal

fashion, like an alien planet. Millions of flickering

lights are reflected in the shiny chrome. The

BMW K 1200 LT lands gently on the strip – like an

UFO, at least this is the impression created by the

ground lights. At the press of a button, the luxury

tourer rises on its electro-hydraulic main stand

and virtually automatically places itself firmly and

squarely in the lamplight. The central locking is

equally convenient – by remote control. The luxury

tourer is now completely secured, including all

panniers. A moment later the dust of the road dis-

appears in the whirlpool of a penthouse suite at

the world famous Bellagio.

O n t o t h e d e s t i n a t i o n o f y o u r d r e a m s f o r t h r e e d o l l a r s .To glide across the Golden Gate Bridge once in a lifetime – this great dream is easy to fulfil since the ticket costs no more than two cups

from the coffee-to-go-shop in San Francisco. Now place the hot cup in the cup holder of the BMW K 1200 LT. On the famous Highway

Number One you get a free helping of the spice that goes with your coffee: the salty Pacific air makes the airstream truly envigorating for

every biker. Incidentally, after a few weeks of freedom on the west coast, a visit to Alcatraz is recommended. A couple of hours on the

prison island will quickly bring back your hunger for freedom and luxury. After all, the best is yet to come: the return trip. The journey goes

on at bmw-motorrad.com/tourer.

The cross-section model shows the transversely installed pistons. Excellent arrangement for shaft drive, since the drive movement does not have to be redirected.

More power and increased output for even more sublime touring.

The water-cooled in-line 4-cylinder engine has a capacity of

1172 cc, and a power output of an impressive 116 bhp. However,

much more important for the varying situations over long distances

is a powerful torque curve. The 100 Nm boundary is crossed at

2800 rpm. At 5250 rpm, the engine delivers an impressive 120 Nm.

More than enough to be able to pull away powerfully even at idling

engine speed and to accelerate swiftly – complete with rider, pil-

lion and luggage.

Move the K 1200 LT at the press of a button. The electro-hydraulic main stand is activated at the right-hand side of the handlebars.

An electric pump builds up pressure in a hydraulic system and extends the main stand.

Even with a full load, the luxury tourer glides effortlessly onto its

electro-hydraulic main stand. This exclusive feature equally increases

convenience and safety. It enables the bike to be parked in narrow

parking spaces and eliminates any possibility of the bike tipping over

as with manual stand operation.

The standard BMW Motorrad ABS, in its fully integral version with

brake booster, enables highly effective deceleration with maximum

safety. Complete locking of the wheels is prevented and the maxi-

mum amount of brake pressure is automatically transferred so that

the wheels remain just short of the locking boundary. The fully

integral brake system always takes effect on both wheels – whether

you use the hand lever or the pedal. The new pressure modulator

ensures that the brake force is perfectly gauged to the EVO dual

disc at the front and the single-disc brake at the rear, depending

on load and road conditions.

The travel-related damping on the suspension strut optimises ride comfort and stability at higher speeds. It provides reserves even when the bike is fully loaded.

The BMW Motorrad Paralever combines the functions of rear wheel guidance and power transmission. The shaft drive is installed inside the swing arm for easy maintenance.

Accurate directional stability, first-class handling, impressive

comfort and ride stability on bends all come as standard with

this chassis. At the front there is the patented BMW Motorrad

Telelever – the unique combination of telefork and swing arm

construction with central strut. This also reduces brake dive to

a minimum. At the rear, the BMW Motorrad Paralever takes on

the function of rear wheel guidance and power transmission.

Suspension and damping is effected by means of a central WAD

strut: the damping increases during compression. The adjustable

hydraulic pre-tension of the strut is especially useful. Simply raise

the seat, fold out the hand-wheel, adjust the pre-tension and

the K 1200 LT is prepared for two-person use or loading of the

120 litres storage space. The 40° lean capacity can thus be

enjoyed to the full.

The BMW Motorrad Telelever provides a finely sensitive response and minimises brake dive even when up against powerful longitudinal and transverse forces.

The 8 mm caster improves handling at low speeds and makes manoeuvring easier.

The longer the tour, the more important it is you have the right part-

ner. And for the journey across America, there is no more re liable

partner than the Atlantis 3 Pro suit. The robust leather, up to 1.4 mm

thick, is permanently waterproof due to hydrophobic treatment and

will take you through thick and thin. This suit is fitted with CE pro-

tectors at the shoulders, elbows and knees, a back support, a retro-

fittable GORE-TEX® insert and all-round connector zip.

Jeans were invented in San Francisco in 1872 as resilient work

trousers for gold diggers. The New Denim suit combines the jeans

myth with all the properties of a fully functional motorcycling suit.

This is possible due to the combination of textile and Kevlar® – with

many times the resilience of conventional jeans material. There are

also CE protectors, back support, ventilation and connector zip for

motorcycling functionality, doing justice to the high standards of

BMW Motorrad.

Whichever way you look at it, the K 1200 LT is something special, and

its refined style is emphasised by the numerous chrome parts. The

high-resolution Info Flatscreen provides a comprehensive range of

information, including total and trip mileage, time, gear display, air and

water temperature, ice warning, average fuel consumption, fuel level

indicator and radio information. Heated grips and cruise control are two

more standard features that improve the comfort of the riding experi-

ence, while safety is significantly enhanced by the specially developed

Xenon headlight.* The spectral composition of its beam is very similar

to that of natural light, meaning it puts less strain on the eyes, and as it

is twice as powerful as a standard halogen beam, it gives significantly

better and more even illumination of the road ahead, and makes the bike

more visible. At BMW Motorrad, we believe safety and luxury are two

sides of the same coin.

The headlamp combination in clear glass technology with separate high beam increases illumination efficiency by 10%.

The reversing aid makes manoeuvring simpler and safer.

The audio sound system with RDS radio, CD player in the glove compartment and 4 pairs of speakers can be extended by means of a 6-CD changer.

The topcase and the two side panniers provide a total of 120 litres of storage capacity.
