Well, 'Big Bertha' has been pulled out from under the covers and is ready for the first run of 2023. Just s short bimble around the roads of County Down with the ubiquitous staring into water scenes.
Enjoy the video.
Alistair.

Love your camera angle. Gives you a feeling you’re actually riding the bike. PS. I’ve got a 2004 LT, and I love it. Supreme German engineering.

Thanks for commenting JazmacL. They're a great bike. There was quite a bit of vibration from a cheap Chinese camera mount which I have since replaced. More and better footage to come.

You should put up the names of the wee villages and towns as you go through them. I keep studying the sign posts to see where you are. Great videos. 👍

Another great vid Al, kinda embarrassing that I never knew half these roads existed, and I was born basically up the road lol

До 2018 года я и подумать не мог, что стану владельцем шикарного мотоцикла BMW K1200 LT 1999. Теперь я самый счастливый человек который может получать удовольствие от вождения мотоцикла. При скорости до 100 км/ч расход составляет смешные 4 литра. Спасибо BMW за это великолепие. 👍Жаль, что такое уже не делают и лучше не будет. Желаю всем Мира, Счастья и Добра. Привет с Донецка (Сталино)🤝🖐️

Another great video Alistair 👍 Any sign of an ‘Eagles run’ anytime soon??🤔(Marcus)

Cheers Mark. It looks like the whole Eagles thing has kinda fizzled out. We need another pandemic to get us going again 😂

They're a great bike, Cecil, and aren't expensive. There's usually plenty of them on ebay to have a look at and compare. Have a good Christmas and New year.

193 km on 15.16 liters = 12.73 km per liter ( which works out to be 29.94 mpg US or 36 mpg Imperial ) Unless I calculated the figures incorrectly .

@AlistairCampbell1047cc 9 ай бұрын

Sorry Stew, my fault. I didn't say on the video that it was 193 miles, not kilometers. We haven't quite fully committed to the metric system here in Northern Ireland. Thanks for commenting.

That is excellent mpg then for a 1200 . I'm actually looking at that model but have reservations about the high maintenance costs or perceived high maintenance costs . Some are saying that BMW have a lot of electrical issues but its hard to know what to believe . Thank you !@@AlistairCampbell1047cc

Nice video.nice bike. Does your LT have reverse? I know some do, but I am uncertain what years the LT introduced the reverse gear. I ride a K1600 GTL 018 model. It has reverse but no electric center stand. It is a great bike at speed, but a beast around the car parks. Great video, stay upright and enjoy.

Cheers Ron. We do indeed have reverse gear, and I've been grateful for it on many occasions. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Just found your really nice video, showing how unexpectedly nimble these beasts are at speed . . it's a real pity that the general road quality here in the UK is awful, compared to the roads in your video (grounding noises most rides). Also, I'm thinking that you're really tall 🙄. . .as unlike you, the top box rack on my 2007 K1200LT LUX is at the same level as the top of my chest . . and I'm just under 6' . Out of interest do you find the riders' footpegs a tad too high ? . . . or have I got it completely wrong and the older 12's have a lower centre stand than the newer ones.🤔🤔🤔

@AlistairCampbell1047cc Жыл бұрын

Nick, thanks for watching and commenting. I'm not sure about the newer LT's regarding height. I'm 6' 1" if that throws any light on the situation. I have always found the riding position a little peculiar on the LT. I'm never quite sure whether to have the saddle on the low or high setting. I just chop and change as the notion takes me. 👍

If i may ask, the maintenance of this bike, is it reasonably affordable or you really have to have deep pocket to mantain the bike?

@AlistairCampbell1047cc Ай бұрын

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. The maintenance of the LT is very reasonable. That is because it requires very little maintenance. I change the engine oil and filter regularly. The filter costs £10(approx) All other service parts are available on eBay for a reasonable price. It's a great bike and easy to maintain.

@@AlistairCampbell1047cc with pleasure sir... Thank you very much, it's just that I've seen a few videos saying this bike is high maintenance... Thank you very much sir...
