About this model
About the Bmw K 1200 RS
The BMW K1200RS is a sport-touring motorcycle produced from 1997 to 2005, powered by a transversely mounted 1171 cc inline-four engine. It features BMW's Telelever front suspension and Paralever rear drive, a combination that virtually eliminates brake dive and provides exceptional stability at speed. With around 130 hp and a well-balanced chassis, it blends genuine sporting ability with the practicality needed for long-distance riding: adjustable windscreen, good weather protection, and ABS standard on later models.
The K1200RS targets experienced riders who want a machine equally at home on a mountain pass and on a motorway cruise. The riding position is sportier than a dedicated tourer but far more comfortable than a naked bike. It competed against the Honda VFR800 and Kawasaki ZZR1100 in its era. Well-maintained examples now represent strong value, a fast, dynamically rewarding machine at a used-market price.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the Telelever suspension pins and rubber bushings for wear; replacement is labour-intensive and expensive.
- Inspect the wheel bearings for play; the heavy inline-four loads them more than average.
- Check the ABS unit for leaks and verify the ABS warning light clears correctly at start-up.
- Examine the bodywork panels for hairline cracks in the plastic; original replacement parts are scarce and costly.
- Ask for the Paralever driveshaft coupler service history: a worn cardan joint produces a noticeable clunk at low rpm.
