In 2012, the German motorcycle maker released the BMW R1200RT, a touring machine that debuted in 2005 as a replacement model for the BMW R1150RT and ended production in 2019 when it was replaced by the BMW R1250RT.

Compared to its predecessor, R1150RT, the R1200RT was completely different, with a 15 percent increase in power and a 20 kg (44 lbs) weight reduction. It was also available with an optional Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA) system and an on-board computer.

Visually, the bike had standard fittings, such as a full fairing, a large headlight unit, integrated turn signals, a tall windscreen, a two-piece dual seat, a luggage rack, panniers, a two-into-one exhaust system, and aluminum alloy wheels.

Suspension-wise, the motorcycle packed a 35 mm BMW Motorrad Telelever system on the front with 120 mm of travel and a single-sided aluminum swingarm with a BMW Motorrad EVO-Paralever system on the rear with 135 mm of travel.

Two 320 mm discs mounted on the front wheel and a 265 mm disc mounted on the rear wheel achieved the braking power. The front was coupled to four-piston calipers, and the rear with a dual-piston caliper.

The 2012 BMW R1200RT had installed a 1,170cc four-stroke air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 110 hp at 7,750 rpm and 121 Nm (89 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
