2006 BMW K1200 GT Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2006 BMW K1200 GT touring motorcycle, BMW relies on a 1157 cc (70.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 79.0 x 59.0 mm (3.1 x 2.3 inches) with a 13.0:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the K1200 GT measures 282.1 kg (622 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,570 mm (61.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 23.84-liter (6.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
