The K1200LT is one of the prettiest bikes on the road and is made for long distance cross country touring. The bike is very dependable and comfortable if you replace the original seat. I replaced it with a Corbin and am very pleased with the comfort. The bike is very top heave and care must be taken if you have to maneuver slowly in a parking lot or are going slowlly enough to have your feet off the pegs. You will drop this bike at some point! On the road it handles like a "Croch Rocket". Once you are on the road, you wouldn't believe this bike weighs almost 900 pounds. I guess that's one of the reasons for the Reverse gear, a very nice feature.
