I read somewhere that the new K engine was referred to as the "slant" motor.  So, Slanter here.

K1200LT

LT does not mean "Light truck"  Twofinger  Smile

Love it.  Long distance it can't be beat.  It's as comfortable as a Gold Wing with more lean angle and a sportier riding position.  Get it above 5K and it moves like a sport bike.

My main bike is the  K1200RS you recall from Boscobel.
I also have a modern airhead ('93 R100R with sidecar) and wife's now riding an F650cs.

Whoops, last of the Airheads was circa '95, so Oilheads date from mid-90's.  I was thinking dualspark for some reason.
