The bike was built around a lightweight aluminum frame with a BMW Motorrad Telelever front and Paralever rear suspension system, offering a plush riding experience and excellent handling capabilities.

The bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front and a 285 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.

Underneath its fairing, the 2005 BMW K1200GT had installed a 1,171cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 129 hp at 8,750 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) torque at 6,750 rpm.

The bike's engine worked in tandem with a six-speed manual transmission, a hydraulically-controlled dry single-disc clutch, and a final shaft drive, pushing the motorcycle to 243 kph (155 mph).
