BMW R 1200 RT 2012

BMW R 1200 RT 2012

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.

Luxurious

integrated electronics

efficient windshield

comfortable ride

spacious pannier system

quite heavy at 300kg

proud price

BMW K 1600 GT 2012

BMW K 1600 GT 2012

Extremely cultivated straight-six engine with huge torque and plenty of power - but without any willingness to use force, simply a power unit of the highest sovereignty. Agile and nimble despite a live weight of 339 kg (fully fuelled). With Dynamic ESA, DTC, ABS Pro and shift assist, it is sporty and safe to drive.

Pleasant, completely relaxed seating position

excellent electronics from traction control to semi-active suspension

ABS Pro

shift assistant

much sportier to drive than the dimensions suggest.

Cockpit already looks a little outdated in contrast to the built-in technology
