If you think it is not too scary you may not have really turned it loose just yet. A tip for fellow Beemer owners--when the gear position indicator goes wonky on you, pull the transmitter off (round, two screws just aft of the shift linkage on left side of engine) and notice that there is a tiny bit of clearance around the shaft that turns the potentiometer inside. Spray some electrical contact cleaner (not brake cleaner) into the opening around the shaft, rotate it back and forth, repeat, blow it out as best you can, leave it to dry for a day. Repeat if necessary until gear indications progress normally when shaft its rotated. Reinstall transmitter. Might save you a couple hundred bucks.

I bought my 2006 k1200s two years ago and absolutely love it. Looks clean as first bought and never been dropped. Two weeks ago was going to trade for a Ducati Penagale v4. I test road one and came back and told the bmw sales person heck no, I’m keeping my 1200s.

nice bike i was going to get one in 2019 but i got a 2008 bussa it was more reliable and easy to get parts. the 1300s was suppose to be the better model that's the one my cousin had. Safe riding

Very nice! Great road bike - made to bend time. I rode my "Sliver Sled with the Yeller Wheels" from Pugetropolis to visit a buddy in New Hampshire and back. I heard where "this guy" (definitely NOT ME) got the bike up to 150 on the straight stretch of Hwy 6 between Tonapah and the Warm Springs junction one Spring day in Nevada. The '12 definitely sounds nastier than the later K1300S.

What did you pay for it?? Considering these but heard the 1300 is a better option.

About 18 months ago, I had never heard of these bikes & then while browsing on Ebay saw a few of them & got interested & clicked “watch” on one & forgot about it until 5 days later it flashed as just about to end……on an impulse I bought it with 20 seconds to go, I drove 2 hours in my van & test rode it, the bike was amazing so I brought her home & I’ve been all over the place on it……she’s a beast !….I popped out yesterday for a spin & did 105 miles 😀
