2009 BMW K1200LT

[sgilbert]

I just picked this up but after about 400 miles it is just a bit bigger than my old knees can deal with.

 

Current Mileage: 35134

Tires are like new and I just completed the following services:

 

Service Done:
air and fuel filters
brake, clutch, tranny and rear end fluids
Spark plugs

 

Just added,
JPegs (highway pegs) to the bike
Drivers backrest
Cee Bailey's 22" windshield

 

I also have a trailer hitch not installed.

Really nice comfortable bike, just a bit bigger than what I now want.

 

Features of the bike include:
- a radio/CD player
- cruise control
- heated seats and handlebars
- adjustable windshield

 

$5890 obo

May not be the knees. Bike is notoriously top heavy. My buddy calls his K1200 "tipsy."

I wish that was it but it is the right knee.. looking like I have some bad parts in there that will need attention... the bike was just the straw the did it

The "LT" designation means, "Light Truck".........

Seriously, I'd love to have a low mileage late model such as yours. They are amazing on the open road, but I too have a troublesome right knee.

well, if you got something you like for something you couldn’t use that’s a win even if it doesn’t feel great financially. 
 

the k12lts are certainly heavy, but the center of gravity is so low they really aren’t tipsy - I think RTs and GSs feel more top heavy. The resale market for these though is pretty abysmal (great if you’re a buyer), so you were fighting an uphill battle to begin with.
