BMW R 1200 RT 2007

Menus

Here it is finally, the new BMW road. With the appearance of the new 1200 flat twin engine which first fitted the R 1200 GS, we suspected that the entire range would soon offer its services. Raised to 110 hp, the twin won’t be the only technological legacy that the RT will steal from the GS, as it also gains the new Paralever single-sided arm.. A component that is both lighter and more rigid, whose bevel gear case is filled with oil for life. The rear suspension uses a combined spring / gas shock absorber dependent on the travel stroke (WAD). It results in an increasing progressiveness of the shock absorber as the travel of travel increases. . This system was introduced in 2002 on the R 1150 GS Adventure. The RT also picks up from the K 1200 S in the radius of good ideas. The ingenious rear suspension system controlled from a button on the handlebars (Electronic Suspension Adjustment – ESA) is available as an option. The EVO braking present on the 1200 RT is of the partially integral ABS type, which would allow smoother braking..
Already present on the R 1200 GS, the wiring harness is of the multiplexed type. The electronics work in a permanent data exchange network via a single bus where information passes between the boxes. The information goes back to the new dashboard. There are 2 classic analog dials for speed and engine speed, and between the two a digital window that constantly provides information on the oil temperature, fuel reserve, remaining range, time and gear. box engaged; if the motorcycle is fitted with the optional heated saddle, it also indicates the selected heating level. At the end of the day, the instrument lighting automatically adapts to the ambient light. Important novelty in the control set: Lifetime filling of the clutch hydraulics.

BMW R 1200 RTStylically, things move a lot at the propeller manufacturer. The design of the BM is completely revised – more angular, more aggressive, with very prominent air intakes, an optic not unlike that of the Honda 1300 Pan-european, retro-flashing-hand guards particularly massive, and that touch of elegance that the 1150 did not have: the suitcases painted in body color. With a higher, wider, electrically height adjustable 140mm screen and its new fairing panels, it is sure that the protection has improved even further..
The saddle is in 2 parts, with the seat of the pilot adjustable in height; 820 or 840 mm which can be transformed into 780 or 800 mm if the low saddle option is chosen. Well yes, at BMW, we like the options and the accessories. You want a piece of it, go to the bottom of the page. Fortunately, the electronic immobilizer is standard. The advantage of such a bloated list is that you can make your own bike a la carte.
With a weight that drops by 25 kgs and increased power, this new grand touring model promises to take the excellence established by the R 1150 RT to another level..

Does she seem imposing? Indeed, it is. A grand tourer with impeccable protection and everything you need to travel cannot have the size of a sporty twin. This is in no way detrimental to the BM which shows a remarkable balance. Although the RT has lost a good twenty kg, we feel that we have in our hands a machine of a certain weight, a road vessel that does not appear as slender as a mid-size roadster like a Deauville. This is why driving an RT is surprising in more than one way: this big motorcycle weighing almost 300 kg is handled with ease and positively incredible confidence. The smoothness of the engine and controls as well as the revised pilot position (allowing BMW R 1200 RTto better feel the driving) make this GT a machine suitable for evolving with a lot of pleasure and relaxation. The city, although it is not its hunting ground, does not reject the 1200 at all, but requires sustained concentration. Not to manage the twin, which has progressed well since the 1150 (it is more powerful and more flexible, like the transmission). You just have to be careful with the suitcases, very large, which limit the sneaking between the cars. If the retro plays “right”, the ass will not pass. Provide a good margin so as not to scratch or tear a bag. It would be a shame.
Now let RT express itself in its favorite field: the road. Besides, since you’ve been on it, all you think about is that … and so is she. Just because it’s cold and everyone is piling up in the cars, doesn’t mean we’re going to leave the grindstone in the garage. And worse, with the BM, it is not an ordeal.
No doubt the new skin will not be unanimous, but it provides excellent protection. The clothes are the shelter, the comfort is strong. One might think that the R 1 200 RT is inspired by its distant cousin with 4 Series 5 wheels. Confidence, precision, warmth on board (heated grips and saddle), autonomy … The expression “vessel of the road” is really ideal to describe this machine.
In dynamic handling, the 1,200 raises the bar even higher and makes it more efficient and fun as soon as the road turns. Even the braking is more pleasant (or at least, depending on the point of view, less confusing), although the novice must “learn” the more incisive reactions of the Telelever front end..

The new BMW R 1 200 RT even closer to the ideal? Certainly, she takes a step closer and really very close. The picture is not completely idyllic either. The bike is expensive, and with 2-3 options the price skyrockets. And then, a tool kit with only a screwdriver and an Allen key, the complete one being optional with 400 balls … Do not mess around! Is it the prestige of the brand or that of the machine ?
