Done it in a VW Caravanette - don't see why you couldn't with any other vehicle.

you looking to fit a "Gear Shift Assistant Pro" ???

I believe it only fits the 2014 model

Although I have not ridden the 1200r, I believe you should and can change gear without clutch when shutting back on throttle, I am not 100% if this can be done with throttle still up the rev band

You should be able to if it's a conventional cassette type gearbox.

But BMW being BMW will probably have some electrickery that eliminates down shifts to prevent wear.

Only ridden the K1200R that a mate had and it was a beast of a bike. Plenty power lol.
