Description:
This motorcycle rental is one of our newest and most requested additions to our fleet. Combining the potent torque of the BMW Boxer engine with the sophisticated design and smooth ride of a premium-touring machine, the R 1200 RT delivers an optimal mix of excitement and ergonomics. It's equally at home nimbly leaning into a Texas Hill Country curve or gliding gracefully over a grey slash of the highway.
A two-section adjustable seat, electric windshield, and BMW's rider-tested Paralever and Telelever suspension systems all contribute to the uncompromising comfort of the R 1200 RT - mile after mile after mile. Add to this a modular luggage system with plenty of capacity, and optional extras like the Navigator II system, and the only limit to how far you can go is how much time you take off of work and how much gas money you have in your pocket.
Technical Points:
- Carries BMW's latest evolution of the Boxer concept, the R 1200 RT enjoys increased torque (+15%) and output (+10%) owing to the enlarged bore of the 110bhp, 1170cc, twin-spark engine. BMW's new BMW-K engine management system monitors functions. Based on CAN bus technology the engine features automatic idle-speed control, a cold-start system and knock control for problem-free used of lower-quality fuel.
- Redesigned two-section seat can accomodate two different rider heights simultaneously allowing for comfortable knee positioning.
- BMW Telelever, which combines the telescoping fork and swinging arm concept effectively dividing the multiple functions of a front-end suspension system and thereby allowing them to be done to optimal effect.
- BMW Paralever with an adjustable WAD suspension strut for variable spring pre-load and rebound damping. The Paralever system virtually eliminates the forces created by the shaft drive while offering superior handling with less reaction of load reversals and increased ground clearance.
- EVO braking system with BMW's part-integral ABS incloded as a standard component - meets the highest possible safety standards.
- Electrically adjustable windshield offers customizeable wind protection.
- Newly designed large screen carries information on distance traveled, oil and fuel data, remaining range based on fuel supply, time and gear selection.
- Enhanced body design offer better turbulance resistance than the R 1150 RT with mirrors integrated into the body panels for a cohesive, modern look.
