2007 BMW K1200GT Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in BMW's touring motorcycle lineup, the 2007 BMW K1200GT relies on a 1157 cc (70.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 152 HP (110.9 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 130 Nm (95.9 lb-ft) at 7,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 131.4 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (7,750 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the K1200GT measures 249 kg (549 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.61 HP/kg (1.64 kg per horsepower). 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 1,577 mm (62.1 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 24-liter (6.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.8 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 414 km (257 miles) between fill-ups.
