Reviews of BMW R1200 RT

An iconic long-distance tourer, the 2016 bmw r 1200 rt has a classic boxer twin as its centerpiece, albeit updated to feature both liquid- and air-cooling.

With a generous wheelbase and rake, the bmw r 1200 rt is a smooth highwayman. The big change for the coast-to-coast sport-touring runner is abs pro.
