Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1250 RT 2024

The BMW R 1250 RT simply feels superior when touring. The heavy bike sits compactly in the hand and wags nimbly through the bends. A great touring motorbike.

Great wind and weather protection

Great boxer engine

Powerful acceleration

Easy engine modulation

Well-designed controls

Great integrated luggage

High stability even at high speeds

Somewhat cumbersome when manoeuvring

gear changes at low revs a little choppy

opaque pressure point of the brakes

BMW K 1300 GT 2009

The engine now produces 160 hp and 135 Nm. This should make further comments on driving performance superfluous. Sitting upright with the windshield extended, you can accelerate to over 250 km/h with absolute ease. Only at this point do you start to think a little about the poor engine - below this, it is simply completely underpowered, always and everywhere.

Relaxed riding feel

confident turn-in behaviour

strong engine - lots of power

efficient windshield.

Handling disadvantages in bends.
