2000 BMW K1200LT
Here's where it pays to have lots of vacation time. While luxury and comfort are a given (check out the 6-CD changer and heated seat system), what's surprising is how well the K 1200 LT handles, cutting through corners with amazing agility. For that, you can thank the smooth shifting, 5-speed overdrive with reverse dear. The Telelever front and Paralever rear suspension. And big Brembo triple-disc brakes with ABS II. Stuff those saddlebags and go.
