The massive BMW K1200LT tourer has been given a
boost for 2008, with every UK motorcycle gaining the full BMW Lux package as
standard. For 2008, the basic and SE
versions of the K1200LT are being removed from the UK BMW motorcycle range,
leaving only the highest-specification machine, which will be available to
order.
The full £15,395 package includes virtually
every extra you can imagine, with heated grips, cruise control, a heated
seat, central locking for the panniers and topbox, ground lighting and an
ant-theft system as standard.
Other goodies include the firm’s Xenon
headlight kit, which gives a different look to the front of the bike, with
an additional light below the main headlight unit. The two lamps act
separately, as a high and low-beam, and offer 10 percent better illumination
than conventional units. The Lux pack also includes a “Navigator preparation
kit” – so BMW’s sat-nav system can easily be added.
Despite its high spec, there are still
additional options to be had, including a luggage rack, higher screen,
intercom and CD changer. You can even order a cup holder!
Any corrections or more information on these motorcycles will be kindly appreciated.
