BMW R1200RT (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

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.

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.

In 2013, the German motorcycle manufacturer released the BMW R1200RT, a sporty touring motorcycle with the unmistakable feel and sound of a boxer engine. It came with the same settings as the previous one without significant modifications.

The motorcycle's appearance was characterized by standard features, such as a full fairing, a single headlight unit, a tall windscreen, integrated turn signals, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a luggage rack, side-mounted panniers, and alloy wheels.

For suspension, 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.

As for power, the 2013 BMW R1200RT was set in motion by a 1,170cc four-stroke air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder engine mounted 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.
