BMW K1200LT: THE LIMOUSINE ABOUT TWO WHEELS.
It is said that on him it is not a shame to approach on smart hotel, that
On parking this BMW does not look the derelict among cars most
Known and prestigious stamps, and on a line it - a true animal,
However gentle and tender. And who argues, if it is a question about "Be Em
Ve ". However all focus that this"limousine"- about two
Wheels. A motorcycle, easier speaking. But what!
For the first time п 1200LT it is presented by autumn of last year in Munich.
Public has accepted it with such interest, as though before it
It has appeared heaped up has accepted it with such interest, as though
Before it it has appeared heaped up under the outset Bavarian
Limousine. Whether it is necessary to speak, as at an exhibition "п п я п?+п п я п п я Show.
The mechanic S.-Petersburg "a tourist motorcycle of a lux-class
Constantly was in a ring of motor-fans (and not only), with
Reverential trembling considering a two-wheeled masterpiece
Eminent firm. Well than, apparently, still can surprise public
The solid automobile company, except as a next sedan,
Roadster, a compartment? An is not present, it does the device, capable to "get"
Any inveterate motorist, for which motorcycle - something
Like let road, but knickknacks.
BMW K1200LT - it is more than a motorcycle. Also has put at all in it
The futuristic design overturning at least ours
Representations about two-wheeled jalopies (alas, for us it is another
Century and absolutely other life). Bavarians have so seriously concerned
To creation п 1200LT that name it hardly probable not the motorcycle
Variant of the "seventh" series. The good occasion to reflect and
To reduce "automobile" arrogance: can be, this
The semimotorcycle-semicar just also is what to you so not
Sufficed in a life? Only you did not know it. BMW has prompted...
The part of the decisions applied on п 1200LT, is really taken from
Automobile arsenal: facing panels, for example, represent
Itself the uniform body protected by "bumpers", which at falling
Will pass blow to a frame and will rescue from destruction plastic details.
A single whole with "body" is formed also by wardrobe trunks for luggage. And
Capacity impresses them: volume of top "box" - 50 l, lateral
- On 35 l.
All the rest also casts thoughts that you roll in
Such limousine. Under the art remark of one of motor-fans,
The motorcycle seat reminds more likely a sofa on which it is possible
To sit down in an impressive pose (a back of a passenger seat
It is regulated, and driver's can move in the vertical
Planes in a range from 770 to 800 mm). From a counter stream
Protect lateral reflectors and an adjustable windscreen.
The standard complete set switches on a stereoradio tape recorder with four
Columns (two of them are located on either side of from the back
Backs). By request - CD-changer, the onboard computer (!), cellular
Phone and other delights of the end of the XX-th century. In general, it is packed
п 1200LT So, that will not seem a little. To the driver and the passenger too
It is possible to pick up "prikid" from beemveshnyh the couturier.
Have picked up? Then in a way. But at first it is necessary to get used to the new
To "wheelbarrow". Here is how the trip on п 1200LT in the corporate is described
Magazine BMW Magazin: "To be retrained it is necessary from the very first
Minutes. After engine start-up it is possible to forget everything to that you have learnt
Till now in circulation with motorcycles. Idling it is necessary
To shift the lever under a support for the left foot and thus the big
Finger to press the button of an electric starter - then the engine
Starter it will allow to be rolled out slowly by a backing from garage. It
To difficult itself to present, but in practice all is very simple.
Care, usual for the first metres of a way by the new car, with
In each following kilometre more and more turns to aspiration
To reach new boundaries.
п 1200LT Even in turmoil of such big city, as Munich,
It is so obedient, that the trust to it grows with each minute...
Speed of 120 km/h, 140, then 160 - a head wind begins
To tear from you a helmet. During such moment, when other motorcyclists
Start to release the gas handle not to subject the excessive
To loading neck muscles, driver п 1200LT presses the big
Finger the switch at the left handle. Obeying the command,
The electric drive as if by James Bonda's car, puts forward upwards
Wind-shelter guard. More than any turbulences, but on avtobanu
It is possible to rush with a speed of 180 km/h. The one who wishes to leave on
The maximum level, can disperse a motorcycle almost to 200 km/h
(In Peter the motorcycle with the maximum speed of 215 km/h has been shown.
- Bus comment).
... All in п 1200LT seems to lungs, even it of 378 kgs.
The accelerated passage of turns with an inclination of a motorcycle does not demand
Any additional efforts. The characteristic "sports" it
Carries rightfully... The Running part with firm elements
Suspension brackets Telelever and Paralever even on bad roads not
Allows the motorcyclist to feel, in what difficult conditions it
Moves ".
Manoeuvrability at a motorcycle practically does not decrease even at
To full loading, and it - under the passport - 600 kg. Under "cowl"
The 4-cylinder engine in volume 1172 cubic sm and capacity hums
Almost in one hundred "horses". The maximum twisting moment - 115 N
Rpm m/4750. Cooling - water.
The maximum twisting moment - 115 N rpm m/4750. Cooling
- The water. The gas mixture is prepared by system Bosch Motronic MA2.4.
Drive on a back wheel - through kardannyj a shaft (well what BMW
Without kardana!).
The motorcycle is equipped by a five-step check point. Volume of a fuel tank -
24 litres, from them 4 - a reserve.
Length - 2508 mm. Base - 1633 mm. Mighty well for a motorcycle.
However, already you do not know, how it and to name. Perhaps,
Motor-mobile? We will not think out, however, new terms. We will give
Due to designers BMW. They have created a motorcycle giving it
To the owner comfort of the car and simultaneously with what not
Comparable sensations of speed and space to limit which
The road catechism can only.
