A motorcycle that defined the classic touring bike segment
has now reached the next stage of evolution: the new BMW R 1200
RT. With its light handling, the R 1200 RT makes it possible to
enjoy what is most important: riding through the landscape.
Whether on your own or with a passenger: the new R 1200 RT is
all about comfortable, relaxed riding on every tour.
More dynamic performance. More control.
The new RT has an new air/water-cooled BMW boxer engine with
even more torque and 125 bhp. Thanks to the traction control
system ASC, the machine offers stability on every country road.
The standard ride modes "Rain" and "Road" can also be activated
at the press of a button, adapting the motorcycle perfectly to
the weather conditions and road surface as required. The On
Board Computer Pro and the familiar heated grips round off the
range of basic equipment.
More optional extras. More comfort.
The special equipment for the new RT offers an increased
level of comfort for the best motorcycling experience. For
example, the semi-active electronic suspension adjustment BMW
Dynamic ESA responds within a fraction of a second to changing
road surfaces. Shift Assistant Pro allows the rider to shift up
and down without using the clutch or throttle. Another option
available is "Dynamic" mode, which guarantees maximum riding fun
for sporty, dynamic motorcyclists. Also available as an optional
extra: a central locking system which also locks both cases by
remote control, a cruise control system and lots more.
More design. More impressions.
A supreme touring bike with a persuasive design: the use of
transparent materials conveys lightness and agility. The R 1200
RT is available in the new elegant paint finishes Quartz blue
metallic, Ebony metallic and Callisto grey metallic matte.
