I had a very nice ride in to the office this morning.
The weather was perfect and the traffic moved well on the surface streets I travel.
I'm in GS-Adventure Withdrawals having ridden the K1200LT for the past two days while awaiting brake pads for the GS to arrive.
These two bikes could not be more different.
These two bikes could not be more different.
- While they both are fun to ride the GS is about half the weight of the LT
- The LT has an inline four engine, The GS has the Horizontally Opposed Twin
- The LT has 5 gears and Reverse, The GS has 6 gears
- The LT has Fully Interlinked ABS Brakes, the GS has partially linked iABS
- The LT holds approximately 5 US Gallons of petrol, the GS holds 9.3 US Gallons and with the filler Neck mod I can get 10 US gallons in her
- Both have Rick Mayer Saddles
- The LT sits very low to the ground and the GS has 10 inches from the engine bash plate to the ground
- The LT has Cast wheels where the GS -Adventure has Spoked wheels.
- Both machines are shaft drive
I've put over 100,000 miles on the LT so far but the GS is way more comfortable than the LT for Long Distance Riding.
