"When we were asked by a guest from the US whether we had any trikes in
our tour fleet (we didn't) that he could tour on with his wife and
children it started us thinking.. "Hmmmm". We genuinely get a buzz out
of finding an innovative solution to even the curliest enquiry, so this
request really stimulated our creative juices flowing.
This 2300cc monster has not just reset the benchmarks for the cruiser
class, it's annahilated them. Breathtaking, mind boggling, but
non-threatening grunt, great handling and stunning brakes. And it goes
round corners too! Riding a Rocket is just an excercise in hilarity -
you'll find yourself grinning maniacally, and muttering startled oaths
under your breath as you twist the throttle and the world goes into
reverse. And it's dead easy to ride, even for short-asses like me. In
fact, I'm confident my 5' 5" wife Jo could ride it with ease, with out
fearing a tipover when turning or at low speed - it's a prodigiously
heavy beast, but the weight, like the seat height, is very low.
With the 1200GS, BMW have addressed many of the criticisms we've had
about the 1150GS, most notably of all, the gearbox - now it has a REAL
gearbox. While the 1100 and 1150GS gearboxes made us grind our teeth at
every gearchange, the 1200GS offers slicker shifting and a much nicer
spacing of ratios, particularly with respect the gap between 5th and
6th. Other improvements include significantly increased power, a
reduction in overall weight, improved power-assisted ABS braking , less
vibration (courtesy of the new balancer shaft) and reduced width across
the seat. It's still a bike best suited to taller riders of 5'10" or
more though.
