Overview
The BMW R 1250 RT is a touring motorcycle produced from 2019 to 2020. For 2020, its 1,254 cm³ liquid-cooled boxer twin produces 134 hp (100 kW) at 7,750 rpm and 143 Nm of torque at 6,250 rpm; wet weight is 279 kg.
The torque peak arrives before the power peak, so the engine delivers its strongest pull below its maximum-power speed. A 25 L fuel tank gives it a substantial amount of fuel aboard for touring, while shaft drive avoids the chain cleaning and adjustment associated with chain final drives. ABS is fitted, and the front and rear suspension provide 120 mm and 136 mm of wheel travel respectively.
