Expert opinion and recommendation

The BMW R1200 RT is a stellar example of a touring motorcycle, designed to excel in both comfort and performance. From my experience, this bike stands out with its robust 1170cc boxer-twin engine, producing 124bhp and 125Nm of torque, which makes it a powerhouse for long-distance rides. The ergonomic design, including the adjustable windshield and heated grips, ensures a comfortable ride even on the most demanding journeys. The bikes stability and handling are exceptional, thanks to its Telelever front suspension and Paralever rear suspension. However, the weight of the bike, at 274 kg, can be a challenge, especially for smaller riders or in slow-speed maneuvers. Despite this, the R1200 RTs overall package, including its efficient brakes and advanced ride modes, makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a reliable and enjoyable touring experience.

Latest Updates

Recent news and announcements

The BMW R1200RT has seen significant improvements in its latest iteration, including a new boxer engine with increased centrifugal masses in the crankshaft and alternator, resulting in a smoother engine performance. This enhancement, along with a longer secondary transmission ratio, contributes to a more comfortable riding experience, especially on long journeys. I believe these updates make the R1200RT an even more appealing choice for touring enthusiasts.

The new R1200RT features advanced technology such as ASC (Automatic Stability Control) and two riding modes as standard, with the option to upgrade to Riding mode Pro, which includes Hill Start Control. Additionally, the bike is equipped with semi-active suspension, BMW Motorrad Dynamic ESA, which adjusts damping based on riding conditions for enhanced safety and performance. I think this blend of technology and safety features sets a new standard in the touring segment.

BMW has optimized the design of the R1200RT to improve comfort and aerodynamics. The bike now has a continuous main frame for greater directional stability and a more dynamic bodywork design. Optional features include an LED Corona Ring headlight, which enhances visibility and aesthetics. I believe these design tweaks make the R1200RT both functional and visually appealing.

For those considering purchasing a used 2017 R1200RT, its important to check for any software updates that may have been missed, such as patches for spurious oil level warnings. Additionally, ensuring all maintenance and servicing have been up to date is crucial. I think its wise to also consider the condition of the bikes electrical and suspension systems before making a purchase.
March 12, 2024
The BMW R1200RT has a robust community support, with dedicated forums and discussion groups where owners share tips on maintenance, accessories, and touring experiences. This community aspect can be very beneficial for new owners, providing valuable insights and advice. I believe this community support adds significant value to owning an R1200RT.
