I had a 2003. Brakes are partially linked, not linked as described in the video -- meaning foot activates rear brake only & hand activates both front & rear. Outstanding bike.
I have a 2004 and it is the best sport touring bike of its time for sure. Love my bike.
I am looking at the same exact model. Has it been reliable?
@@eusdeenius ABS continues to be an issue with all of the K1200RS and some have issues with the shaft drive at wheel.
I have owned the 2003 version of this for 73,000 miles and it still makes me smile every time I ride it. It’s not been as reliable as the Hondas I’ve had, but all is forgiven once I swing a leg over and get moving. I plan to keep it a long while yet.
Do you still have the bike? Are/were you ever concerned about the i-ABS?
I'm looking at a 2003 right now and I'm just worried about the horror stories I've read where the servos fail.
@@Jake......................... Yes, I still have it and it still runs well. I also worry a bit about the servo brakes but so far they have been trouble-free. I do have the system flushed regularly (every year or two).
@@jaygrosse8365 everything still going okay? And how many miles do you have now?
@@Jake......................... They do and will fail. 04 model here.
A very great bike. Mine is a K1200 GT. Best in Travel !
Love these bikes it is a dream tourer and quite sporty!
one of these for sale near me for $3,500 original owner 16k mi dealer maintained. If only I had room for one more...
Paralever- The answer to a problem that doesn't exist
Dont worrie its à bmw the problem will come:)
handlebar RISERS seem a common add on... various lengths.
The opening scene, he looks tiny compared to the bike...
Great review, I wonder how they've stood the test of time. I'm thinking of getting one as a second bike. I'm sure the engine will be bullet proof even on a high miler but what about the running gear? Has anyone got anything to say about twenty year old models?
I have owned my 2001 K1200 RS since 2006.
It currently has 54,400 miles on it.
Two years ago, plastic fuel lines became brittle and leaked. That was a result of the age of the machine.
Other than that, it’s been 100% reliable.
my 2003 is still going strong !
only problem is the ethanol in the fuels nowadays can melt the fuel lines in the tank .
@@georgb6175 NO ABS issues??
@@alexnutcasio936 zero issues.
Im interested in this bike. I am pretty tall. How tall are you? Would help me decide if this is a bike for me...
Go test ride it, thats the only way to know for sure
Nice review..
Where is the adjuster for the rear suspension? To make the ride softer or firmer.
ROB JOHNSON - preload adjuster knob on the left side above the front of the rear wheel. You can see it at 3:50.
@@nmccw3245 Thanks. I've since sold her. Dropped her on my right foot and broke the foot, ending my job and riding career, albeit till now.
@@robjohnson7806 that’s horrible bud
got mine!
Sounds like a swiss army knife bike.
Kind of got annoyed of him smacking his lips after every other sentence.
😂😂😂 me too!
Totally with you on that! Went into an outdoor shop last week, the woman there was doing it literally every five words! I had to leave.
Ever heard of misophonia? I've been diagnosed with it... You may have it too.
I has a motorcycle when I grow up
It's really interesting. stitch ragged What's happening, guys.
Now its not worth that much compared to a Yamaha fjr 1300
After 2 New Hondas i bought a 20 years old 2003 bmw k1200rs williams. I could better bought a bmw before. The Hondas were crap.... Nc 750 x with gearbox problems... And a crap Honda pcx... 😢
BMW don't depreciate. BWHAHAHA... they depreciate the most.
Until they dont.
