BMW R 1200 RT 2015

BMW R 1200 RT 2015

It was predictable that the new R 1200 RT would perform even better with the new partially water-cooled boxer engine. Although 125 hp and 125 Newton metres of torque have quite a bit to haul with the 274 kilos ready to ride, the RT retains its unbelievable effervescence from below. This makes it extremely agile, especially on corner exit after a hairpin bend. In combination with the gearshift assistant Pro (which is, of course, available at extra cost), the gears just flow and you involuntarily move more sportily than you might have intended. The big bonus points of the R 1200 RT are its good workmanship, the simple and easy-to-follow operating principle and, last but not least, its small turning circle.

The S-class among motorbikes. You want to tour and travel in a relaxed manner, ideally with company, sufficient luggage stowed in the sophisticated, easy-to-use pannier systems. There are not many motorbikes on which women like to ride in the back, but the RT is one of them.
