2003 BMW K1200GT, Call 503-769-8888 Basic specs: From 2003 through 2005, the GT is powered by an 1171cc, longitudinal-crank inline-Four laid on its side with the cylinders on the left. In 2006, the GT was completely redesigned and fitted with an 1157cc transverse inline-Four. Both versions were powerful, great-handling, fully equipped sport-tourers with detachable saddlebags, electrically adjustable windshields and standard cruise control. The 06- 08 model was more powerful and offered a wider range of optional accessories, including electronic suspension adjustment (ESA) that could be regulated on the fly. Why it won: Through sheer on-the-road competence, whether those roads were smooth and straight or bumpy and twisted. Both of these 1200s were superbly comfortable for long, mileage-eating rides on the superslab; but given their heritage (some people felt that practically all BMWs were sport-tourers in one form or another) and despite their mass, the GTs were able to rip up the backroads almost as well as some pure-sport machinery. From the 2003 Ten Best story: Combining novel creature features with a decidedly more comfortable and upright seating position, greatly improved wind protection and a neat electrically adjustable windscreen has elevated what was previously marketed (mistakenly, in our humble opinion) as an Open-class supersport bike to sport-touring s upper echelon.
