K1200 Issue Summary?

[TIMAY]

I'm considering upgrading to a K1200GT this year or next. Understanding that no bike is perfect, I was wondering what kinds of issues people are experiencing with the latest K engine and the K1200GT so I can know what to expect as a new owner.

Anyone willing to compile a list?

Thanks in advance,

Tim

We have these engines on our K12Ses. There were some teething issues. Updated trans, clutch. We never had any issues with the ones we had and have, but I can tell that the trans is somewhat quieter shifting now, etc. There was a lot of rhetoric about the new final drives, but again no issues here. I'll write more as I think about it.

Sport Rider has a comparo of the K12GT, Kawasaki Connie, and Yamaha FJR 1300 in its most recent issue.
