Review Of: 2005 BMW R 1200 RT
 

After taking an hour and a half to ride one and a quarter miles, it became abundantly clear that BMW's new R1200RT is a big improvement over the R1150RT it replaces, currently the company's most successful touring bike.

Review Of: 2005 BMW R 1200 RT
 

For once here at Party Cycle we decided to test ride a very bourgeois motorbike. Its name : the 1200 RT, a revised version of the BMW GT.

In the Grand Touring segment, BMW wanted to come up with something unique in introducing at the start of the new year a new version of its best seller the RT.

So, the 1200RT will succeed the 1150. More than an evolution it is a complete innovation.

2005 Review of the BMW R1200 RT, Nov 13 2005 12:00AM

Review Of: 2005 BMW R 1200 RT
 

Some recombinant boxer DNA from BMW’s 2004 R1200GS has seeped into the German maker’s ’05 touring lineup, giving us an essentially all-new R1200RT.

BMW’s latest take on mach schnell long-distance travel inherits a massaged version of the 1170cc boxer and Evo-Paralever driveline introduced on the ’04 GS. Listed at a claimed 110 bhp, the engine is some 12 horsepower stronger than an ’04 R1150RT’s. And at 571 pounds—with its 7.1-gallon fuel tank full but without saddlebags—it’s 44 pounds lighter. BMW credits the added muscle to revamped intake and exhaust plumbing, warmer cam timing and 12.0:1 compression (up from 11.3:1 for the ’04 RT’s 1130cc boxer). Said power flows through a GS-spec six-speed gearbox, though primary- and final-drive cogs are new.
