Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 1200 RT 2014
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.
BMW S 1000 XR 2016
The BMW S 1000 XR is a superbly crafted performance motorbike with a proud pedigree that shines with impeccable touring characteristics and solid touring capability. A wide range of accessories either trim the bike even more in the direction of sport or equip it for the great journey. With ABS and ASC as standard, you're always on the safe side and always relaxed thanks to the pleasant ergonomics. Just don't misunderstand the XR as an enduro for on/off-road, but see it as the evolution of a sport tourer.
