R 1250 RT

BMW Motorrad has launched its touring range of motorcycles in India. This flagship range of heavyweight touring motorcycles include four models, the BMW R 1250 RT, BMW K 1600 B, BMW K 1600 GTL & the BMW K 1600 Grand America. Prices for the BMW R 1250 RT touring motorcycle start at Rs. 23.95 lakh (Ex-showroom).

The BMW R 1250 RT gets the familiar 1,254 cc twin-cylinder boxer engine, which powers the legendary R 1250 GS. Power output is rated at 134 bhp at 7,750 rpm & the engine produces 143 Nm of torque at 6,250 rpm. This pushes the 279 kg tourer to 100 kmph from standstill in just 3.7 seconds. The updated R 1250 RT now gets a new front fairing and a full LED headlamp. As expected, the luxury tourer comes loaded with tech, and this includes a large 10.25-inch full-HD TFT colour display with navigation and smartphone connectivity, a speaker system, BMW ShiftCam variable camshaft control system, wireless smartphone charger, USB charging port, radar guided active cruise control, keyless entry, heated grips & seats, and more.

The tourer is offered in four colour options, those being Style Triple Black, Style Sport (Blue), Alpine White, & Option 719 Mineral White Metallic With Stripes. The R 1250 RT also gets 70 litres of onboard storage as standard, making it an ideal touring machine right from the minute of purchase, without the need of accessories. The motorcycle rides on 17-inch wheels, and is made with highway touring in mind, unlike its engine-sibling - the R 1250 GS - which is a full blown adventure motorcycle.
