The BMW K 1200LT tourer has undergone a significant upgrade for 2008, with every UK model receiving the comprehensive BMW Lux package as standard. Gone are the basic and SE versions, making way for the top-of-the-line machine, packed with an impressive array of features.
The Lux package boasts an extensive list of goodies, including heated grips, cruise control, and a heated seat, among others. But the real showstopper is the Xenon Headlight kit, which not only offers a distinctive look but also provides superior illumination, with 10% better visibility than conventional units.
The dual Xenon lamps function independently as high and low beams, casting a broad and intense light on the road ahead. This is complemented by the Navigator preparation kit, making it easy to integrate BMW’s sat-nav system. With the Lux pack, you’ll be well-equipped for any journey, and the additional options – including a luggage rack, intercom, and CD changer – offer even more flexibility.
The K 1200LT’s impressive performance is matched by its character, with a smooth and responsive engine that delivers instant power. Its riding experience is refined and comfortable, making it an ideal companion for long-distance touring. With the Xenon Headlights, you’ll be able to navigate even the most challenging routes with confidence, and enjoy the ride of a lifetime.
