I have done road tests on BMW R1200RTs over the years and found them to be a "perfect" long distance motorcycle. It has real world power with a flat torque curve. It will surprise you on how well it corners at warp speeds. With a long option list it never fails to impress and bring a smile to the owner. As far as the video, lovely countryside and a BMW R 1200 RT what else you need.
I'm taking delivery of my new R 1200 RT next week and will be touring the Scottish highlands in late August. I'm looking forward to it and this video has increased my anticipation. The RT is a great bike whether you're on the motorway or the twisties and my wife says it's the most comfortable bike she's been on.
@hampstead1951 looking to buy the 1200RT can you tell me if the bike lives up to its reputation of an all rounder and have you had any issues at all with the bike since youve bought it , thanks ..
@Tentors - I've been delighted with the bike. It's everything I'd hoped it would be and more. Riding motorways is comfortable around the legal limit and obviously will go quite a bit faster if needed - set the cruise control and relax. Riding the narrow highland roads was great fun and the bike is very forgiving if you find yourself having to scrub off speed in a hurry. I'd say have a good test ride to make sure you're comfortable with the bikes riding position and then go for it!
bamboostinger - You are an A to B rider; you only ride to get somewhere. The BMW sport-touring class is the PERFECT motorcycle for countryside riding - Power and performance of a sport, but comfortable like a large touring. I rode from Sacramento to Indiana via US50. What a trip!
BMW should hang the director of this video on a tree! The tour around Norway was so much better than this one, this one is amateurish, i'm very dissapointed. But i'm still wishing to buy a R1200 RT :))
It really dosn't matter what type of bike youve got, it's what you do with it that counts. I know too many people with expensive machines that just don't use them.
Getting out and about is what it's all about, meeting people, seeing new places and generally enjoying the pleasure of motorcycling.
So forget just talking about BMW's ..... get on it and go !!!
bmw make a sports bike s 1000 rr. More power than the current crop of jap clones, with more innovations advanced traction control, sports abs it has moved things on with sports bikes. This vid is pants compared to the old one......bmw r 1200 rt norway.....anyway test riding new rt 6th feb launch date.
I think you guys don't know about BMW bikes. There are several sport bikes in his current catalogue -from 800 to 1300 cc- while the RT is surprisingly lightweight or at least as light as any other sport bike. Get a RT and test for yourself.
