Segment: Sport Touring
Production years: 2011, 2012
The BMW R1200RT was a touring or sport touring motorcycle made by BMW in 2005 as a replacement model for the R1150RT and continued production until 2019, when it was replaced by the BMW R1250RT.
In 2011, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW R1200RT, a touring motorcycle in its seventh consecutive production year. It came with the same package as the previous one without any modifications.
The last revision was made in 2010. The most notable modification was the boxer engine, which incorporated the DOHC cylinder heads borrowed from the HP2 Sport model, which improved its power delivery and offered better engine performance.
In the visual department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as full fairing with a tall windscreen, a pulled-back handlebar, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a luggage rack, side-mounted panniers, a two-into-one exhaust system, and aluminum alloy wheels.
As for power, the 2010 BMW R1200RT had installed a 1,170cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air/oil-cooled boxer engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 110 hp with maximum strength at 7,750 rpm and 120 Nm (89 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
The power generated by the engine was transferred to a six-speed transmission and sent to the rear end via a final shaft drive, launching the motorcycle to a top speed of 210 kph (131 mph).
