One of the superb two-wheeled creations showcased by BMW at this year’s edition of the EICMA show is the R 1200 RT, which is the company’s tourer that has managed to convince the highest number of customers.

The bike uses an engine with two overhead camfshafts per cylinder that deliver 110 hp at 7,750 rpm and a peak torque of 88 lb-ft (120 Nm) at 6,000 rpm and can be revved up to 8,500 rpm. The boxer unit comes with an exhaust system that uses electronically controlled flaps and a special rear silencer. All this offer the motorbike a powerful sound.

Customers can choose to have the bike finished in Polar metallic, Ostra Grey metallic matt, Thunder Grey metallic or in a multi-color paintjob that uses Thunder Grey Metallic as the basic color.

The ride comes with a long list of goodies that will please both connoisseurs and new-comers to the segment, including ESA II Electronic Suspension Adjustment with damping, spring base and an adjustable spring rate. The rider can modify this using a special button. The bike also offers ABS and a set of hard-shell cases as standard features. Each of the two cases offers a storage capacity of 32 liters.

The two-wheeled creation offers a high level of protection against wind and bad weather, as the company has performed multiple design studies during the development phase. The rider can enjoy an audio system, which features a controllable interface for a USB/MP3 and iPod and can be operated through the Multi-Controller.
