Pros Cons of BMW R 1250 RT

Pros

  • Boxer engine offers its own charm
  • Extremely comfortable with an adjustable suspension
  • Powerful brakes inspire confidence

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Feels heavy when moving from a standstill
  • Rear-set footpegs can be uncomfortable for tall riders

Verdict

The BMW R 1250 RT has a smooth engine, enough and more performance, with crisp throttle response and a comfortable ride. Despite its intimidating size, the R 1250 RT is surprisingly agile. It's still an expensive bike, and isn't made for bumper to bumper commutes if that's what you'll be doing mostly.

Pros Cons Harley-Davidson Road King

Pros

  • Proper retro cruiser design
  • Comfortable ergonomics
  • Torque-heavy engine is a gem

Cons

  • Heavy in weight
  • Ride quality is a bit stiff
  • Lacks electronic aids

Verdict

The Harley-Davidson Road King is a bagger and offers solid road presence, on account of its sheer size. The Road King has been discontinued in India and one may find models in the used two-wheeler segment or through Harley-Davidson owners group but we recommend to stay clear of it. The new H-D Road Glide makes more sense as a full-blown bagger, if you do want to buy one!
