Bodywork
The mirror housings are designed as aerodynamic
hand protectors. They are ventilated
at the rear in order to prevent turbulence
from forming on the handlebar grips. The
rear-view mirrors can be quickly removed
from the fairing by means ball sockets (ie: K
1200 LT, R 1150 RT).
The fuel tank trim panels protect the rider’s
legs against the air stream and have integrated
rain deflectors built in by design
(edges flair outward).
The panels are hollow plastic covers that
attach to sheet steel carriers by screws.
The space between the colored covers and
steel carries houses a portion of the motorcycles
electronic equipment (left side:
optional Anti Theft System, right side: cruise
control module). The side trim panels do
not have to be removed if the fuel tank is
removed.
The handlebars are made from a 3.5 mm
thick steel tube and have a diameter of
28mm. The surface is coated with hard
chrome. Handlebar weights are fitted at the
ends of the handlebars for damping vibration.
Perfect seating comfort includes the feet
too: Running boards made of forged aluminum
and vibration decoupled for the rider
by rubber bearings and wide passenger
foot rests derived from the K 1200 LT guarantee
good foothold, and combined with
the pleasant knee angle, ensure relaxed riding.

The seats include optional heating elements
(standard on the CLC). The boldly
designed border of the upper passenger
supporting straps makes the luggage
bridge a real eye catcher.
A special feature of the side cases is the
one-hand closing concept. After pressing
the lock cylinder in, the flush finger lift lever
springs up to unlatch the cover. When
closed, the case cover latching system
evenly compresses the lid into the seal by
four integrated tension rods.
A same key lock set is equipped with the
motorcycle allowing a single key to operate
the ignition lock/steering lock, filler cap and
luggage system.
The luggage system is integrated into the
overall appearance of the R 1200 CL. The
top case with a volume of 45 litres providing
plenty of space for luggage.The central
handle easily operates the latch and locking
system as on the K 1200 LT. The combined
side case volume of approximately 63 litres
brings the total lockable storage capacity of
the R 1200 CL to 108 litres.
