BMW R1200RT (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW R1200RT was a sporty touring motorcycle manufactured by BMW from 2005 to 2019. It replaced the BMW R1150RT in 2005 and was replaced by the BMW R1250RT in 2019.

In 2014, the German motorcycle maker released the BMW R1200RT, a redesigned model that featured a conversion from an air/oil-cooled to a liquid-cooled engine. With their own testing technology, BMW claimed 125 hp and 125 Nm.

Some modifications included an updated seat position, fairing, instrumentation, and frame. The bike featured two standard riding modes, Rain and Road, that were activated at the press of a button, adapting to road and weather conditions.

The bike also featured an on-board computer, an electrically-operated windscreen, color-matched panniers, and heated grips, all basic equipment.

In addition, the motorcycle was available with optional equipment, such as semi-active Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA), BMW Dynamic ESA, a central locking system, a radio, a top case, a tank bag, cruise control, and low or high saddles.

The bike's visual department was complemented by standard fittings, such as a full fairing, a large windscreen, a pulled-back handlebar, a two-piece dual seat, a luggage rack, and 10-spoke alloy wheels.

As for power, the 2014 BMW R1200RT had its soul brought to life by a 1,170cc four-stroke liquid-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine that delivered an output power of 125 hp at 7,750 rpm and 125 Nm (92 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
