Climb aboard, there's a whole world out there waiting to be discovered.

With a power output now reaching 81 kW/110 bhp, and 115 Nm of torque, the new BMW R 1200 RT is a motorcycle built for beautiful touring moments.

The chassis incorporates the BMW Motorrad Telelever and Paralever for ease of handling, while the EVO brake with the partially integral version of BMW Motorrad Integral ABS ensures maximum safety.

The combination of aerodynamically optimized fairing and an electrically adjustable windshield offers excellent protection against the elements, and the class-leading ergonomics mean rider and pillion passenger can enjoy the freedom of the open road in complete comfort.
