  • BMW K1200Lt

    G'day, greetings by an XSive from beyond long an distant shores.

    Hmmmmmmmm how come there's no K1200LT thread here???

    I mean to say.....it just seems the natural progression from an XS to a Beemer K12LT....

    Soooooooo it's been from wayyyyyyyyy back in Sept 99 that "The Tardis" last tasted the roads here in sunny Sydney, Oz. The time traveller is still in working order, but mucho rested from it's 21 years on the road with me on top.

    Beryl Beemer now has 95500kms on her, with a quick 350kms attached today just poodling around the place. visit the site at http://www.bmwlt.net

    Beryl is now well settled down, after numerous teething troubles, as is to be expected I spose from a new born. Can't remember the last hassle I had with her......she just gets new oil/filter every 10,000kms, fuel filter every 2 years, brake and clutch fluid plus gearbox and rear drive oil changed annually, oh yeah and cleaned daily.......MOST important.

    Oil filters are a bit rich at $30 each
    Oil is $50/5 litres
    Tyres every 19,000kms same as the Tardis, but more expensive at $500/set, (although Shane Thomas got about 25,000kms outta his front once on his K12Lt)
    Brake pads every 40,000kms ($70/set)

    But WTF, it's only money huh??????hehehheheheh

    cheers

    Have often looked at the R1150RT, but not in my budget...

    According to BMW, the 1200LT just received its 4th annual award for touring bike of the year. If I give up the XJ I'll have to check into one of these more fully. One guy I met on the road said he gets 50+mpg (US gallon) on his, hard to believe for a bike that big.
