BMW R1200RT Police (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2007, the German motorcycle manufacturer introduced the BMW R1200RT Police. The engineers from the House of Munich took the standard R1200RT model and fitted it with numerous accessories specially developed for law enforcement agencies.

Compared to the base model, the Police version was fitted with rear engine protection bars, ABS II, a radio box with a mounting base, eight-fuse circuits for police equipment, top-opening police panniers, LED emergency light housings, a pre-wired harness for police accessories, a calibrated police speedometer, and Dunlop Run-Flat performance tires.

In all other departments, the motorcycle was identical to the standard model, packing standard features, such as a full fairing, a windscreen, a single seat, a side stand, a two-into-one exhaust system, a side stand, a center stand, and aluminum alloy wheels.

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

Two 320 mm brake discs on the front and a 265 mm braking disc on the rear achieved the braking power. The front discs were engaged by four-piston calipers, while the rear was handled by a dual-piston caliper.

Power-wise, the 2007 BMW R1200RT Police had installed a 1,170cc four-stroke air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine that delivered 110 hp at 7,500 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
