In 1998, the new BMW K 1200 LT luxury tourer made its debut. BMW had equipped this motorcycle with additional new luxury features compared with its successful predecessor, the K 1100 LT, e.g. an electric reverse driving assistant, a newly designed instrument panel with a radio panel, a built-in BMW Motorrad navigation system (optional) and an integrated pannier system. Ride comfort and protection against the weather provided by the completely redesigned fairing once again defined new benchmarks and made the K 1200 LT with its revised four-cylinder inline engine and the new chassis a super luxury tourer.
