Even the BMW Rondel could not make me like this bike enough to keep it.

by octagonpeg , Oct 31 '03
Pros: Let me think....................
Cons: Not enough room here............
Firstly, let me explain I like BMW products. I am going to hammer this bike in this review so I wanted to make that point clear up front. Secondly, I am a 51 year old male and have been riding on and off since I was 17 so you will know “about where ...

A good 'standard' motorcycle

by jaimeshawn , Oct 05 '05
Pros: Longevity, smooth, stable, comfortable, powerful, cool-looking, heated handwarmer handlebars, ABS front and rear+++!
Cons: Fuel tank is small, (You'll want to go further), should have cruise control,
I bought a 2001 K1200S motorcycle this summer. I’m pretty big (6'3" 240#) so it needed to be at least 1000cc, because nothing is more pathetic than a big fat guy hunched over a 600cc pocket racer… Well maybe that same fat guy splayed out on a ...

K1200RS - great bike!

by winterhawk , Nov 21 '99
Pros: great engine, great looks, reliable, fast
Cons: ergonomics not for everyone, little storage space
I have owned four motorcycles, and the K1200RS is by far my favorite. I had been searching for the perfect blend of sportiness and comfort, leaning first too far one way (ZX-6) then too far the other way (Harley Softail Custom) before finally buying a...

An All-Around Wonder

by Pbartley1 , Oct 22 '00
Pros: Possibly the best all-around bike ever made.
Cons: 130bhp and no noise?
Having owned six motorcycles over the past 22 years(I have three in the garage now), my wife sent me out with a mission this past summer: to buy a new motorcycle that would keep me happy for several years. I wanted a fast bike suitable for longer...

I love this bike

by sweetmachine , Oct 16 '00
Pros: Fast, smooth, comfortable, reliable
Cons: Heavy, mediocre passenger comfort
I have owned my K1200RS for a year and 26,000 amazing miles. I've ridden to Alaska, Mexico (www.macaskill.com/Mexico/Mexico.html), and all over California (where I live). I've done 1000-mile days back to back, ridden on dirt roads, toured two-up, and...

2001 Blue/Silver BMW K1200RS

Pros: 2001 Model: Great Looking; Fast enough for you; BMW Style; Adjustable Everything;
Cons: Heavy!! Not Fast Enough for me; Expensive to upkeep. extra $700. for a paint job??
Great Bike overall. I went from a 1988 Honda Nighthawk (3 years), to a Harley Customized Sportster (2 years), to a very fast 1993 GSXR-1100W (3 years), to now an all around sportbike/sporttourer 2001 BMWK1200RS (so far 1.5 years and counting). On the...

K12RS leaves much to be desired

by rain4rest , May 06 '03
Pros: Beautiful styling (with the exception of the bags, mirrors and rear fender)
Cons: Poor ergonomics, terrible wind noise and protection, power is soft, never impressive
My riding experience started at age 7 with a Honda 50, 3 speed, clutchless. Well, 36 years later with 57 motorcycles owned over the years, one of my latest in the garage is the K12RS. In a nutshell, the K12RS does a little bit of everything you would...

This is my final purchase

by andydg , May 02 '01
Pros: Smooth, fast, handling.
Cons: Expensive to repair, maintain.
I traded in my R850R on this wonderful machine back in 98. Prior to the 850 I was a proud owner of an excellent but dated R100RS (smoke red). That was until someone looking for his dog decided he needed to turn left in front of me. The bike was...

What a machine!

by mbs724 , Jun 21 '01
Pros: High speed handling, quality of workmanship, heavy
Cons: Expensive (initial cost and repairs), heavy
I have been riding motorcycles for about twenty-seven years now and this is by far one of the best if not the best bike I have ever owned.

This is my second BMW. In order to buy this one I traded my 1996 R850R for a 2001 K1200RS. The R bike...

Ultimate Morocycle

by SEHobson , Aug 19 '00
Pros: Looks, dependability, power, smooth ride
Cons: cost
My husband just bought this motorcycle. He owned a 1985 K100RS, but has been dreaming about buying the newer 1200. He has owned 4 different motorcycles prior to this own. But since he bought his first KRS, he often states he will ride nothing else....

1998 K1200RS Cat Chow Bike

by tallcharlie , Jan 06 '03
Pros: Excellent handling, great looks
Cons: Exceedingly high repair & parts prices, many, many problems and recalls
Purchased new in Feb 1998. My friends called it the "Cat Chow Bike" because of the yellow paint and checkerboard graphics.
Soon added "BarBacks" and Corbin seat to improve comfort. For stock bars, you needed arms longer than Clyde the Ape to reach...

I'm in love with a motorcycle

by chadhargis , Apr 23 '02
Pros: Smooth, quite, tractible power. BMW handling and safety.
Cons: Weight & fuel mileage
Many people play the lottery, and we always make statements like, "If I win, I'm buying a..." whatever. Well, if I win, I'm buying a K1200RS...immediately! What a bike! It's so smooth and torquey that it's hard to imagine it's a motorcycle. There's no...

2000 BMW K1200RS Motorcycle

by duc996 , Aug 15 '01
Pros: Excellent engine, outstanding quality, safety features, great looks. All around top performer.
Cons: Weight, top heavy.
I had this bike for a year and a half. Its probably the best high speed, long distance sport touring motorcycle made. Its not a tourer, nor a sport bike. Its a compromise. On the tour side it has adjustable ergonomics, great power and the ability to...
