The BMW K1200LT obeys your most
subtle commands - yet responds eagerly to a primal throttle twist. Reassuring to
the inexperienced yet still able to provide a seasoned rider with the kind of
sensations once only imagined. Motorized windshield - heated seats - a six CD
player may seem like excess. Until you've leaned into an early morning mountain
curve with Hendrix playing 'Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)'. Then drop the
windshield just enough to let the rush of cool wind remind you that you're
alive. Lean 'till it scrapes - then lean some more. Flick it like a bike half
its weight. Stand up next to a mountain. Nail the throttle or the brakes - with the same steady confidence. The most difficult thing to do on a BMW K1200LT is make your way home.
