Luxury in a motorcycle is not just about riding comfort or
state-of-the-art technology, it's also about looking good.
And the three colour options we currently offer for the
BMW K 1200 L T couldn't look much better. However,
some of the illustrations in this brochure show the motor-
cycle in two colours that have now been discontinued,
light yellow metallic and dark graphite metallic.
