presentation of the R 1200 RT 90 ans 2013
still firmly established at the top of the road bike category, the BMW R 1200 RT lets the miles roll off its fairing. Its career and efficiency have earned it the honor of being one of three machines in a special 90th anniversary series in 2013. Like the R 1200 R and R 1200 GS Adventure, the Behemoth comes in a specific color scheme with multiple surface treatments: sapphire black, matte magnesium, asphalt, oyster or granite gray, a little black and anodized gold... you'll find the full list below.
The little bonus nestles on the upper fork crown: an exclusive "90 Jahre" plaque in polished nickel-plated brass, in place of the BMW logo. As usual, you can add to the standard equipment with a plethora of features from the BM catalog.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 35 reviews
I needed a vehicle that was reliable, long-lasting, economical (at least in terms of fuel, as a BMW needs to be maintained...) and comfortable, and to do this, what could be more natural than to look at the daily lives of "road professionals", our police forces, for whom I've been able to note a majority of R1200RTs, so I "hunted" for second-hand models (new being out of my budget, so was second-hand.i found a 2012 model, and I have to admit that it perfectly meets my expectations, and far exceeds them! As other contributors have said on numerous occasions, as soon as you hit 5 km/h, you don't feel the weight of the bike. It handles like a bike, is as comfortable as a BMW 5 Series car, and is reassuring with all its driving aids (the 1st owner had taken the packs!) and options (pack2 inside!). With the suitcases/top case removed, it's a pleasure to handle in Parisian traffic, where its torque means you don't have to play with gears all the time - only the special mirrors can slow down exemplary progress!
Admittedly, running costs are burdened by BMW prices (but there's nothing to stop you maintaining it yourself, something I'm about to start doing), but fuel consumption is reasonable, comfort royal (thanks to the electric bubble!) and all in all, I've added personal use to professional use, because it's a real pleasure to drive around in these conditions! And what an engine... with its characteristic air-cooled noise (the last of a great line), it encourages me to take good care of it, as the noise of the R1200RT-LC doesn't delight my ears... Rating : 5/5 Respond to JLh5677
The only small flaw is that it's rather heavy, when maneuvering at a standstill. Otherwise, it's a bike as soon as you engage first gear. It also handles better with a passenger, not exceeding ... 70 kg. Rating : 5/5 Respond to PHILDE NORMANDIE
I'm currently the proud owner of a PAN 1300, but I'm very interested in the 1200RT
I'm looking for a used one but I don't know which vintage to start with
I welcome any advice
Thank you Rating : 5/5 Respond to Franckbourgogne
the only drawback is its weight, 260k in running order, but you have to add the two suitcases and the top case... and what's inside...
But this bike is a delight... the engine finally has a nice sound... the torque is top, the comfort royal... I had an 1100 RT before, an 1150 RT... BMW makes progress every time, without showing off. BMs are expensive, of course, but having owned 5 of them, they sell very well... try selling a Japanese bike with 110,000 kms...
The price is forgotten...the quality remains... 15,000 kms last year with the 1200 (business trips and weekend rides), never disappointed... Rating : 5/5 Respond to jf
I'm back to my old loves for comfort, enough power to lose points, gps, useful options, roadholding, safety, passenger comfort (my wife loves it), moderate fuel consumption.
Of course, at standstill, it's heavy. Very heavy. It still vibrates around 160 (twin-cylinder), but less than the 1100rt.
But for the freeway, it's royal with the regulator.
Yes, it's expensive too. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Joe_la_moto
if you haven't changed your saddle yet, don't use a gel saddle, because the sun will deform it where the gel is, opt for a high-comfort saddle (original foam plus 3 cm foam) and shorten your seat by 2 cm. I know what I'm talking about after an accident, it was 25 km maximum and with this custom-made saddle it's 200 km Rating : 4/5 Participate in the conversation
the freeway is a bet of pleasure!
the mountains become a playground
In town, it fulfills its mission
it's too big to be ridden like a bike Rating : 5/5 Respond to alain

super machine.
Too bad about all those packs and options.

i have a 1200 RT that I took in for a check-up last month. BM told me there was a leak in a gasket that required the complete dismantling of the bike for 1500 euros.
what's more, the dealership informed me that if I didn't use the ABS, the pistons would seize up - in other words, 1700 euros. For me, an old-timer, if the ABS goes off, it's because I've made a mistake, and what's more, it's very hard to operate, so I don't know whether it's seized up or not. all this seems very obscure to me for a brand with such high claims and such high bills.

It's easy, you have to go through a forwarding agent. He'll take care of everything, including transport, insurance and customs clearance. Make sure you get a quote, because although you won't pay French VAT, taxes in Gabon are high (back when I lived there). What's certain is that it will cost you more than in France.
You'll be able to do LBV-Owendo between trucks and potholes :-)
It's all about passion!

I'm looking for an MP 3 player that's powerful enough to listen to my favorite music in good conditions. The one I currently have lacks "punch" and doesn't play loud enough, at least not enough for my taste.
My motorcycle, a 1200 RT 2007, is fitted with the radio as standard Rating : 5/5 Respond to mustang P 51
I had a 1.150 (2003) then a 1200 (2007) and this 1200 2012 since 3 weeks...
A BIKE! This is one hell of a bike. Already 1000 km but still breaking in; 150 km/h at 5000, it's just asking to be pushed.
The revs are sharper than with the 2007 1200 (red zone 500 rpm higher).
Braking is still superb (with a downside on the rear, where the ABS is still very touchy...)
Can't wait for spring for a real 2 or 3000 km test.
Bye to all, Merry Christmas. Rating : 5/5 Respond to jeanlouisbrunoy
