BMW R 1200 RT 2018

It was predictable that the new R 1200 RT would perform even better with the new partially water-cooled boxer engine. Although 125 hp and 125 Newton metres of torque have quite a bit to haul with the 274 kilos ready to ride, the RT retains its unbelievable effervescence from below. This makes it extremely agile, especially on corner exit after a hairpin bend. In combination with the gearshift assistant Pro (which is, of course, available at extra cost), the gears just flow and you involuntarily move more sportily than you might have intended. The big bonus points of the R 1200 RT are its good workmanship, the simple and easy-to-follow operating principle and, last but not least, its small turning circle.

Who said you need 150 hp or more to be in the "upper class"? The Adventure Sports offers everything a comfortable touring enduro needs, and with its electronic chassis and all conceivable safety features, it needs fear no comparison. Ready for the big tour and, thanks to a range of well over 400 kilometres, also for really long stages, you don't have to stop at all on unpaved roads thanks to the ample suspension travel, and you'll get further than many might think.
