I've had my R1200RT since December, 2014. Took it from Boston to Nova Scotia and was impressed with it's handling, power and touring attributes. Just completed a 4,000 mile, Seattle to Boston trip, with the bike and I like it even more now. Hit the start button and go. Good range, spirited ride in the twisties, nice torque. To me, it epitomizes the "Sport-Touring" category.

@Kylen Donovan i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

Ik sinds maart 2018 een BMW1200RT-LC, wat een geweldige machine!! Hij is full option, wat het rijden door alle mogelijke instellingen qua rijgedrag een perfecte tour machine maakt. Ik noem hem een machine omdat hij 1 bonk kracht uitstraalt en dat voel je ook tijdens het rijden. Ben erg happy met hem. Helaas heeft hierdoor mijn R1100RT een andere baas moeten zoeken, wat reeds gelukt is.

Looks like that bike was fitted with the low seat and fixed in the low position too. The normal seat at the taller height probably would have suited him better.

Just bought one, 12 plate with 11k on the clock, pick it up in a couple days, cant wait 😎

That bike has the optional low seat which why he felt cramped.

I also loved that bike until it had to go back to Germany because of a suspension issue, but BMW gave me a brand new K1600GT as a replacement, now although heart broken about my RT1200 this beast of a 6 cylinder 1600cc grew on me and although I would have never bought this bike as a first choice I will not replace it, but the RT1200 has a very soft spot in my heart!

Great review! Thanks! I ordered one last week ;)

It's at the Picton airport in Prince Edward County, Ontario. It was originally built in WWII and still works as a local airport but many of the old hangars and barracks are still standing and converted to small businesses.

Great Bikes, get one if you can, that officer knows how to ride wonder, if he could do that on Harley?

Plays like an advert. Is there no critical analysis here or is it simply perfect?

nice very nice

@ 3:29 the center headlight looks like a face.

Bardzo dobry motur.

It's a good bike, just a notch up the costs ladder from japanese, and shops/dealers fewer. I see some police moving away for similar reasons. They've sold millions though and it's been a cash cow for them.

You don't really need a shop/dealer network. The boxers don't go wrong very often and any local shop can service or fix them using mailorder for the parts if necessary. They are more expensive than some Japanese competitors but the difference is worth it. Great shaft drive, great cruise control, extremely comfortable, light for what they are, etc, etc, etc. I sound like I work for the company, I don't, but I like to see fair play. FJR - not as comfy, Concourse - no cruise control, heavy, ST1300 - heavy, dated. Triumph Trophy - good competitor but discontinued. The Suzuki V-Strom is a cheap option (good engine) but chain drive and I'm not sure if it has cruise control.

I ride a R1150rt. When I looked at the R1200rt, it may be lighter, nice headlights etc. but the front looks like a bus - ugly. In my opinion, it did not need such a big chunky front fairing. Mine is compact & works brilliantly in all weather conditions.

I have a Harley and a 2015 1200rt-since I got the rt I haven't been back on the HOG! Took it out west last summer and did Wyoming, SD and Montana and I was the only rider in a group of five that really was comfortable every day of the 1800 mile trip. Great bike!! I wish the compatible audio system used a Sena hook-up though so I could talk to other riders. LOVE THIS BIKE!

I had a 2004 R1150RT and traded it on a 2010 RT1200RT. No regrets, the 1200 runs way better and is lighter too. I liked the 1150 appearance better and it seems more solid but the camhead motor is way more smooth and has more torque when you need it.
