BMW Motorrad R1200RT Norway Promo

Love this! Does anyone know the name of the song at the end of the video or artist that sings it?

That was tastefully done. (would you expect any less from BMW?). I have a 2003 K1200GT and this video makes me want to go ride! I would much rather go with a sport tourer than a fast crotch rocket simply because I want to ride long distances in comfort. These bikes are no slouch either in speed so to me they are a jack of all trades. Not a Ducati but fast enough to be a blast!

Hey Monster2802, elaborate a little more on the bike.How is the power on the 1200RT? The video shows some pretty quick curves being taken, is it really that nimble and comfortable while riding at that speeds? 70K miles, thats a lot! Any engine issues during this time?

Cheers,
Silver Falcon

Looks like an awesome country to tour from the video and comments from you guys. I live in India and tour a lot around India. Unlike Norway, the conditions are lot more difficult here with bad terrain, sometimes bad roads and unpredicatable traffic behavior. Nevertheless, the joy of touring on bikes will remain the same. My dream bike is a BMW 1200GS and slowly loving the K1300R. Long live the spirit of Biking!

Usart....it doesn't matter where you are as long as you are riding a bike...and the bad terrain thing is irrelevant...I know an old man , 76, who has toured the world several times on motorcycle and and I asked him about touring some of the bad areas of South America...I always remember what he told me about touring some of those remote areas..."Good Roads Bad People...Bad Roads Good People:......by the way...India is a beautiful country and is certainly is on my list!!!

Have a good one!!!

It is brilliant to know people like that. That was a nice quote there. Looks like the man has seen the world! What motorcycle was he on? I would agree with you there, I guess the terrain does not matter, as long as you are on a motorcycle :)

He owns a Honda dealership in Canada and his favorite bike of choice is the Honda XL650R........

I live around where this is filmed... I consider myself lucky. But I do not drive a BMW, but a KTM 950 Adventure. Anyone up for a ride?

Great vid. I commute every day on a '06 1200RT. Bought it brand new in April, '06, and just turned 70k miles on it last week. I'd say it's probably a bit over priced and maintenance costs are a consideration.

But having said that...

WHAT A MACHINE!!

Do you happen to have a song title or a link to that first song handy???
