BMW K1200S 2005 1157cc

Description

So, I’ve got this 2005 BMW K1200S sitting in brightlingsea, Tendring — not the flashiest place, but it’s got a good road network and I’ve been using it to get around. This one’s been through a lot — actually, more than most. I took it on a proper tour down to southern Spain, two-up with a bag full of stuff, and it didn’t even complain. Just kept going, like it knew where it was going.

It’s got the full ESA suspension, so you can switch between modes on the fly — useful when you’re riding through a twisty bit or just want to chill out on the highway. Got a recent BMW service, so it’s clean, fresh, and ready to go. The Remus exhaust gives it a real punch — sounds like it’s trying to start a thunderstorm. Power Commander’s been tuned up too, so it runs smooth and doesn’t play games with the engine.

I’ve kept it well cared for — tank bag, paddock stand, full rain cover, all in place. And yeah, it’s been tested on a couple of long rides with a passenger — they didn’t complain. The back seat actually felt like it was part of the ride.

It’s a rare model, not many of these in such a solid shape. MOT’s valid until March 2026, so it’s got a bit of headroom. And honestly? It starts every time, rides like a rocket-powered sofa, and if you ride it on a quiet road, you’ll start to notice how it makes your neighbours look at you sideways — not in a bad way, just like, “Whoa, that bike has style.”

If you’re interested, just drop me a message. I’ll arrange a viewing or a test ride — just need insurance to cover it. No fluff, no hype — just a bike that’s been ridden, lived, and loved.
