BMWK1200GT 2004 - 2005

　　In 2004, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW K1200GT, a powerful touring motorcycle best suited for those riders who wanted to spend as much time as possible in the saddle. The bike was designed to handle long journeys due to its touring-oriented accessories and comfortable riding experience.

　　The bikes manufactured from 2003 to 2006 were in the first generation, while from 2006, the maker released the second generation of the BMW K1200GT that packed the same engine as the K1200S sports bike that held the world speed record in 2005, hitting 279 kph (174 mph).

　　The 2004 model came equipped with standard features, such as a full fairing with a medium-sized adjustable windscreen, integrated turn signals, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle and a small luggage rack, side-mounted panniers, a single-sided swingarm, and lightweight aluminum wheels.

　　The bike's frame was made of aluminum and comprised a BMW Motorrad Telelever front suspension system and two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers as braking performance. On the rear, it featured a Paralever suspension system with a 285 mm disc and a dual-piston caliper, offering excellent handling capabilities and stopping power.

　　The 2004 BMW K1200GT had its soul bought to life by a 1,171cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically-controlled fuel injection system, boasting 129 hp with maximum strength at 8,750 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) torque at 6,750 rpm.
