Value vs rivals
4 out of 5 (4/5)
The R1250RT is a lot of touring bike for the money, but it doesn’t have any direct rivals other than more cruiser-style tourers or adventures.
There’s the RT’s big sister: the K1600GT. It’s hard not to be impressed with a 1.6 litre tourer that sounds like an BMW M3 at full chat and glides like a bullet train on the motorway.
But it’s a behemoth of a thing that weighs the same as a small country, has a surprisingly agricultural gearbox and has more a cruiser-like feel to it than the far nimbler RT. It’s not cheap, even in base trim.
You could also go for the BMW R1250GS, which also trample miles without breaking a sweat, but it has an extra string to its bow: it’s an extremely capable off-roader, too. It’s lighter, more agile and sportier with decent weather protection, but it isn’t as calm and comfortable as the RT on motorways or have so much standard luggage capacity and storage space.
BMW R 1250 RT Drivetrain
- 1,254 cc flat-twin engine
- 136 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque
- Automatic stability control
- Broader powerband
The factory took its 1,170 cc boxer engine and punched it out to a total of 1,254 cc for this newest iteration, and that necessarily brings more power to the table to the tune of 136 horsepower (up from 125 ponies) and 105 pound-feet of torque (up from 92 pounds o’ grunt). This puts the RT squarely in the power-tour category, and is sure to endear itself to riders who are looking for a tourbike that comes with a bit of testicular fortitude.
The flat-twin engine runs a counter-balancer so as to tune the worst of the vibrations out of the system, so numb hands and bottoms do not come standard. Compression is pretty spicy at 12.5-to-1, so you can go ahead and resign yourself to running top-dollar road champagne through the electronic throttle bodies. Engine control is modified by the Automatic Stability Control that most of us will identify as traction control, but they can call it whatever they like; it does the same job.
It’s cooled primarily by air, but similar to Harley’s Twin-Cooled technology, the mill circulates coolant through the heads to draw heat away from the hottest spots. Inside, oil jets perform the same function to cool the piston crowns from beneath, but that’s not the best part. A variable timing system advances and retards the cam timing to broaden the powerband, and the intake valves run with an asynchronous timing feature designed to cultivate more swirl in the air-fuel mixture as it enters the combustion chamber for better vaporization and flame-front propagation. Nifty stuff, yeah? I certainly thought so.
The factory claims a top speed of (over) 125 mph, not that you’ll ever be able to use all that potential on our side of the pond, not legally anyway. Still, it’s comforting to know you’ve got plenty of roll-on left to make decisive passes and get out of the way of the oblivious cagers around you.

Удобство
Могу со всей ответственностью сказать, что серия RT (для меня) – самые удобные байки, на которых я когда-либо ездил. Версия 1250 является нынешним пиком этого семейства мотоциклов. Ассортимент здесь идеально сочетается с комфортом, что позволяет вам переходить от дозаправки к дозаправке… то есть в течение долгих часов.
Эргономичное расположение руля или подножек позволяет высоким гонщикам удобно управлять мотоциклом, и оно, безусловно, подойдет для тех, кто немного ниже. Кушетка, конечно, очень удобная, а версия, которую я получил на тестирование, даже имеет индивидуальные варианты подогрева сидений.
Для меня удобство – это еще и место для багажа. Прочные пластиковые сундуки достаточно велики, чтобы один человек мог упаковать их несколько дней. Тем не менее, райдеры, предпочитающие дальние поездки, должны подумать о покупке мотоцикла с верхним кофром.
Model history & versions
Model history
- 2005:R1200RT introduced – replaces the R1150RT. 15% more power, 20kg lighter
- 2010: Update: HP2 Sport-derived new twin cam engine, fairing and clocks.
- 2014: RT gets partially water-cooled motor, smoother throttle, fairing and ergonomic tweaks. Traction control, two riding mods, electric screen and ABS are standard.
- 2019: R1200RT replaced by R1250RT with more powerful new ShiftCam engine, a change from Brembo to BMW branded Hayes calipers, hill hold control and self-levelling rear shock (with electronic suspension versions). Available in base, SE and LE spec.
- 2021: R1250RT gets restyled nose fairing and screen, a 10.15in colour TFT dash with split screen function, cornering ABS with dual braking and options including adaptive headlights, active cruise control and wireless phone charger. Available in base and LE spec.
Brakes
Engine apart, this is one of the few areas where there’s another significant changes with the 2019 RT. Presumably to cut costs (and BMW’s representative couldn’t give any other explanation) the new 1250 has switched from the coveted Brembo radial four-piston caliper set-up at the front, to a virtually identical system, but for the first time with calipers branded ‘BMW’ but actually made by American newcomers Hayes. In truth, for 99% of the time, you can’t tell the difference (although one side-by-side test did reveal the new brakes were slightly outperformed by the old). Even so, there’s no getting away from the fact that, especially for a supposedly premium tourer, it’s a disappointing move.

The new BMW R 1250 RT by BMW Motorrad
You can tell at a glance that the R 1250 RT saw the inside of a windtunnel during its conception. A low-profile front fender leads the way ahead of a sportbike-like cowl scoop and low-resistance/high-penetration front fairing. As broad as the forward bodywork is, the visage is dominated by a trio of recessed light cans that boast stock halogen projectors, but you’ll have to hit the accessories catalog if you fancy the LED daytime running lights. A pity, that, but the Werke has a tendency to shuffle items between the advanced packages as well as between the optional gear and stock, so maybe next year? We’ll see.
Up top, a mid-size, pushbutton-adjustable windshield breaks the pressure on your chest but lets the incoming wind strike your helmet to make your vents breathe as intended . The vented design smooths out the margin between pocket and slipstream for a low-buffet riding experience. Winglets on the fairing work with the mirrors mounted in the tips to protect your meathooks, and you can pencil me in as a fan, ’cause anything is better than stem-mount mirrors in my estimation. Like the headlights, the front turn signals are recessed and faired off with clear lenses, and that just keeps the front end clean as a whistle.
Inside the fairing, a pair of analog gauges display speed and revs with a whole battery of indicator lights and a digital display in betwixt to cover the remaining metrics. Additionally, a full-color, 5.7-inch TFT screen is part of the standard package, and it acts as a rider-to-bike interface for the higher electronic features such as mobile phone and media playback, to name a few.
A voluminous, 6.6-gallon fuel tank defines the flyline in a most sport-tastic fashion with a generous knee pocket and upper flange for good aerodynamics, but it quickly wanes toward the rear to make for a narrow waist and a comfortable union. Yeah, nothing worse than feeling like you’re gripping the barrel of a horse, right? Especially when you go to deploy your Fred Flintstones. The adjustable beveled seat contributes to that as well, before it flares out to form a comfortable butt bucket. Stadium seating greets your passenger with flip-out footpegs and large grabrails that make up points-of-contact one through four.
So many manufacturers outside the U.S. seem to think a bike without stock bags qualifies as a tour bike, but I can assure you, Americans do not share that opinion. Maybe if they had somewhere to ride in their country that’s bigger than a postage stamp they’d get it right, but instead here we are. Beemer got it right on the RT, though. A pair of stock hard-side panniers provide enough storage for some serious travel, and you can tell at a glance they came under the scrutiny of the windtunnel testers. Of course, you can boost that capacity with a topcase ex werke.
LED emitters cover the rearward lighting to make you as visible coming as you are going (no giggety) to finish the RT off. (still no giggety)
Reliability & build quality
4 out of 5 (4/5)
Powering BMWs since the dawn of time the German’s firm’s Boxer engine is well developed and largely dependable. The ShiftCam 1250 has been around since 2019 in the R1250RT, RS and GS and despite its variable valve system having the delicate complexity of a Swiss watch it’s proved to be reliable, according to our owners’ reviews below, as have its raft of electronic systems and rider aids.
From the way the new mirrors glide seamlessly in their housings when you adjust them, to the reassuring click of its chunky switchgear controls the RT is always ready to remind you it’s premium piece of kit.
For 2021 it has four ‘favourites’ buttons on the fairing to short cut you to the menu features of your choice on the dash and adaptive headlights have ‘welcome’ and ‘follow me home’ functions.
Castings, plastics and fasteners are quality, in a Teutonic Tonka Toy kind of way and infill panels around the engine bay keep everything looking neat. The dash has a satin, anti-glare finish that water-stains easily, but glass cleaner brings it up like new.
Конструкция BMW R 1250 GS
Дизайн BMW R 1250 GS очень напоминает предшественника, так как не несет значительных изменений. Модернизации подвергли освещение мотоцикла, которое стало светодиодным. Помимо главного света и поворотников, опционально мотоцикл может быть оборудован светодиодными ДХО.
Не обошлось и без обновленной бортовой электроники, для управления которой предусмотрен 6,5-дюймовый ЖК-экран в роли приборной панели. Также он используется в режиме навигатора, применяется для телефонии и мультимедийных функций. К бортовой системе можно подключиться по Bluetooth.
Передняя подвеска BMW R 1250 GS базируется на уже классической для немцев вилке Telelever с 37-миллиметровыми перьями, обеспечивающей хорошую управляемость и предотвращающей «клевки». Задний маятник представлен литой однотрубной вилкой из алюминиевого сплава. Однако без изменений не обошлось. Система компенсации нагрузок теперь полностью автоматическая, тогда как ранее использовалась полуактивная электронная подвеска. Ход передней подвески составляет 190 мм, задней – 200 мм.
Колеса BMW R 1250 GS литые, изготовленные из алюминиевого сплава. Спереди используется резина 120/70 R19, а сзади установлена более широкая покрышка 170/60 R17. Она должна обеспечивать качественное сцепление с трассой, для хорошего старта без пробуксовки.
Для торможения новый байк использует спереди сдвоенные диски, диаметром 305 мм, с плавающими 4-поршневыми суппортами. Сзади установлен одиночный диск, диаметром 276 мм, тоже с плавающим суппортом, но на 2 поршня.
Габариты нового мотоцикла можно назвать привычными для этого класса техники. Длина байка составляет 2207 мм, колесная база – 1525 мм, а ширина – до 952 мм. Высота посадки по седлу без нагрузки равна 870 мм. Естественно, BMW R 1250 GS получился довольно тяжелым, его снаряженная масса достигает 249 кг, а полезная грузоподъемность – до 216 кг.
Топливный бак вмещает 20 литров горючего. Расход бензина по трассе составляет 4,75 литра на 100 км пути, поэтому емкий бак позволяет совершать длительные поездки без дозаправки.

Engine
5 out of 5 (5/5)
Remember the old days when BMW flat twin engines were quirky, but bulletproof lumps, designed for pushing along policemen, beards, pipes and slippers? Things couldn’t be more different now with the RT’s evolving into graceful sophistication.
Sure, the Boxer lump still isn’t as refined as a conventionally laid-out three, four or six-cylinder motor and there’s a fair bit of vibration on a closed throttle above 4000rpm, but it growls and bellows like a race bike one minute and whispers along the next, depending on your mood.
A wide, beefy spread of power lets you pull cleanly from as little as 2000rpm in top (35-40mph), cruise on the motorway at 3500rpm and give sportsbikes the hurry-up when you keep the revs on the boil.
A capacity increase
Like the 2019 R1250GS, GS Adventure and R the R1250RT gets an 84cc capacity hike and variable valve timing ‘Shift Cam’ system. There’s 14ftlb more torque, 250rpm lower down in the revs and power is up from 123bhp to 134bhp. Each cylinder’s inlet cam features partial and high lift cam lobes and slides across the top of the engine (in just five milliseconds and undetectable from the rider) delivering mild or hairy cam timing, depending on your throttle input.
Inlet valves are staggered when they’re open, creating swirl in the combustion chamber for a better burn. BMW claims improved fuel economy – we managed 47mpg (191 miles before the reserve light) and a theoretical range of 258 miles from the 25-litre tank.
2021 BMW R1250RT
The 2021 R1250RT rides exactly the same way as before, but the main change to what you’ll feel behind the bars is its new dual braking system. Both brakes operate regardless of whether you pull the front lever or stomp on the rear and that flattens the BMW under hard braking – pushing both wheels into the tarmac for maximum grip and stopping power.
Its standard electronically controlled screen is refined to shield the rider from unwanted windblast and works beautifully, but it’s a little too short for taller riders, who may need to go for the higher, wider accessory screen
If you go for the active cruise control option, it adds an extra dynamic compared to a regular system. As you approach a vehicle the RT slows down to match its pace and accelerates back up to your previous speed when it moves clear.
It also brakes for you when it needs to shed a lot of speed or going downhill, although it does it with little finesse. The radar often catches slower traffic when you don’t want it to, so you have to keep helping the cruise control along with the throttle to maintain momentum.
Equipment
5 out of 5 (5/5)
The RT is all about pampering its rider with space, a natural riding position, sumptuously padded seat and goodies galore. The base model has panniers, cruise control, heated grips, electrically adjustable screen, ‘Rain’ and ‘Road’ modes, traction control, cornering ABS and linked brakes.
The all-singing LT version and showers you with goodies like ‘Eco’ and ‘Dynamic’ riding modes, semi-active suspension damping, self-levelling rear shock and an up/down shifter, keyless ignition and fuel cap, central locking and heated seat.
New for 2021 is a 10.25in colour TFT display is standard and replaces the previous analogue dial/small TFT layout. Tastefully huge and easy to read without being garish or distracting, it makes every other dash look puny at a stroke.
It has a split screen function so you can view your main display with revs, speed and gear position on the left and choose any number of menu functions, including its in-built sat nav on the right. Four buttons, fitted to the left side of the fairing, short cut you to your favourite menu functions.
There’s a catalogue as long as your arm with more touring, cosmetic and performance accessories, including luggage, billet ali parts, active cruise control and an air-cooled cubby hole with an integrated wireless charger.
2019 BMW R 1250 RT First Look
Last week BMW unveiled the 2019 BMW R 1250 GS – the adventure tourer replacing the R 1200 GS that had a popular 14-year run.
The big news was the update to a 1250 boxer that now features variable timing, along with other updates in BMW Motorrad technology.
The same engine and technology updates have also reached BMW Motorrad’s famed RT sport-touring lineup.
Meet the R 1250 RT, which replaces the venerable R 1200 RT that – like the R 1200 GS – had a popular 14-year run.
The new R 1250 RT not only arrives with more power and advanced technology, but some styling updates.
Following are the essential fast facts.
1. The 2019 BMW R 1250 RT arrives with a new 1254cc boxer engine that features BMW ShiftCam Technology.
The highlight of the engine is variable valve timing. BMW Motorrad says the ShiftCam tech will provide numerous benefits, including:
- Increased power across the entire engine speed range
- Reduced emission and fuel consumption levels
- Smoother operation
In addition, the intake camshafts are designed for asynchronous opening of the two intake valves, resulting in an enhanced swirl of the fresh, incoming mixture. The result is more effective combustion.
2. The 2019 R 1250 RT’s new engine, which grows to 1254 cc from 1170cc, produces 136 horsepower at 7750 rpm and 105 ft/lbs of torque at 6250 rpm. The 1170cc boxer in the R 1200 RT produced 125 horsepower at 7750 rpm, and 92 ft/lbs of torque at 6500 rpm.
3. BMW says other technical updates to the R 1250 RT’s ShiftCam Technology boxer are a toothed cam chain vs a roller chain, an optimized oil supply, piston-based cooling, twin-jet injection valve,and a knock sensor system for optimized travel.
4. The 2019 BMW R 1250 RT gets a redesigned exhaust system to maximize performance.
5. The R 1250 RT features two riding modes, ABS, Automatic Stability Control (ASC – BMW’s base traction control) and Hill Start Control as standard equipment.
6. The R 1250 RT arrives with ABS Pro as standard equipment. This is BMW speak for cornering ABS.
6. Riding Mode Pro is once again available as an option, and includes additional riding modes—Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), Hill Start Control Pro and Dynamic Brake Assistant (DBC).
7. Electronic suspension Dynamic (ESA) “Next Generation” with fully automatic load compensation is standard.
8. The R 1250 RT is equipped with an LED headlight. An LED daytime riding light is available as an option.
9. The R1250RT is fitted with a 5.7-inch TFT-color screen. The dash also includes an analog speedometer and RPM gauge.
10. The R 1250 RT can be updated with an optional Intelligent Emergency Call button.
11. The new R 1250 RT is available in four finishes (yet to reported). Stateside pricing has yet to be reported.

Радар
Когда несколько месяцев назад я услышал об идее установки радаров на мотоциклах, я должен признать, что был настроен скептически. Кому это нужно? – спрашивал я себя, как бабушки из фильма, который крутится в сети.
Теперь, когда у меня был опыт путешествий на сотни километров с использованием активного круиз-контроля, я должен признать… что я в восторге! Это еще один шаг в будущее, который не только повышает комфорт передвижения (особенно на таком устойчивом мотоцикле, как R 1250 RT), но и повышает безопасность. Круиз-контроль не только регулирует скорость, достигая максимальной скорости, но и снижает скорость перед приближающимся автомобилем. Это невероятное удобство при езде на длинных прямых участках, и для этого, помимо прочего, нужны туристические мотоциклы.
Устройство включается и управляется интуитивно понятной кнопкой на левом дросселе. Благодаря ему мы можем ускоряться, замедляться или отключать этот режим движения.
С моей точки зрения, активный круиз-контроль в настоящее время является обязательным элементом, который производители должны ставить на свои туристические машины… По крайней мере, на высококлассные.
Ride quality & brakes
5 out of 5 (5/5)
Changes may only be restricted to its engine and a few details, but that’s fine by us because BMW’s new tourer does what RTs do best: just about everything, especially if you’ve spec’d it to the moon, which you’re advised to do.
Easy controls, perfect fuelling and fingertip-light steering make it a joy to ride through town. Cruise control, an electric screen, superb wind protection and a lack of engine vibes let you waft, untroubled for hundreds of miles and you won’t ever get cold thanks to five stage heated grips and seat, which you could cook your dinner on.
And when you want to blast along your favourite stretches the RT will do that in style, wet or dry, thanks to its fantastic brakes, grippy Metzeler Z8 Roadtec tyres, stable chassis and grunt from the best boxer engine ever made.
A wide ride
It’s wide enough to make you think twice about breath-in filtering, so spacious you’ll forever have a happy pillion and full of fuel weighs a hefty 279kg, but the R1250RT somehow has the steering, agility and short wheelbase-feel of a sportsbike. It’s always been this way, which is why the RT is exemplary on the mountain roads of Europe as it is trudging along the motorways to get there.
Optional electronic suspension with constantly adjusting damping and rear ‘self-levelling’ preload, is sharper and more accurate than ever in its Dynamic riding mode. It still delivers a smooth ride, especially in Rain and Road modes (although not as well damped), but the ride quality isn’t the last word in shag pile plushness, like a multi-cylinder tourer, American cruiser or BM’s own K1600.
A ‘hill start’ system comes as standard, which is far handier than you’d imagine, especially on a big bike riding through stop/start towns and cities. Holding the brake on sloped junctions is hardly taxing, but with hill start doing it for you (clamping the rear brake until you pull away) it’s just one small extra thing that makes the RT nicer to live with.
An optional up/down quickshifter
It works by pulling firmly on the front brake lever, or if you’ve ticked the options box it’s gyro controlled and does it automatically on a five degree or steeper slope. Optional up/down quickshifter (also available on the previous RT) works well with the engine under high load, but with gear ratios widely spaced it’s stiffer at low speed and kinder on the box if you use the clutch.

Overall rating
5 out of 5 (5/5)
This BMW R1250RT replaces the R1200RT. It was always going to be tricky to improve on such a successful sports tourer, but BMW have managed it, thanks to its tasty new motor. Now there’s more of everything: lolloping lowdown power, a chunkier midrange and the kind of savage top end kick that leaves you asking whether this really is a humble boxer twin.
The motor’s extra sparkle and the firmer electronically suspended ride gives a sportier overall feel, but still manages to be ultra refined, comfortable, roomy, convenient and characterful. It’s this enviable mix of peppiness-meets-luxury that’s going to make the mighty RT harder to beat than ever.

Электроника
R 1250 RT – один из самых упакованных, если не самый оснащенный электроникой мотоцикл на рынке сегодня. Вместе с телефоном и микрофоном в шлеме он создает экосистему устройств, предназначенных для обеспечения взаимодействия. Если мы не хотим использовать наушники в шлеме, мы всегда можем переключиться на динамики, встроенные в обтекатель. Благодаря вышеупомянутому лобовому стеклу и аэродинамике оборудования они отлично воспроизводят звук (до определенной скорости, конечно).
Телефон – это наше средство связи. Мотоцикл берет на себя большинство функций, благодаря чему нам не нужно беспокоиться о том, как и кому мы хотим позвонить или какую музыку хотим слушать. Благодаря этому наш сотовый телефон можно спрятать в специально подготовленном вентилируемом отсеке, оборудованном разъемом USB и индуктивным зарядным устройством.
Операционная система мотоцикла позволяет контролировать его настройки и вместе с приложением для телефона планировать маршруты. Мы будем идти по обозначенному пути, руководствуясь стрелками и указателями навигации. Или в режиме карты (что требует отдельного сопряжения телефона с аппаратом).
BMW предоставила множество настроек для (огромного) экрана, так что мы можем наслаждаться несколькими вариантами комбинаций отображения информации о нашем вождении, пути или мультимедиа.

Value vs rivals
4 out of 5 (4/5)
The R1250RT is a lot of touring bike for the money, but it doesn’t have any direct rivals other than more cruiser-style tourers or adventures.
There’s the RT’s big sister: the K1600GT. It’s hard not to be impressed with a 1.6 litre tourer that sounds like an BMW M3 at full chat and glides like a bullet train on the motorway.
But it’s a behemoth of a thing that weighs the same as a small country, has a surprisingly agricultural gearbox and has more a cruiser-like feel to it than the far nimbler RT. It’s not cheap, even in base trim.
You could also go for the BMW R1250GS, which also trample miles without breaking a sweat, but it has an extra string to its bow: it’s an extremely capable off-roader, too. It’s lighter, more agile and sportier with decent weather protection, but it isn’t as calm and comfortable as the RT on motorways or have so much standard luggage capacity and storage space.
If you want something more elegant the Ducati Multistrada V4 combines comfort with searing on-road performance and muddy-tyred fun. It’s far sportier than the RT and similarly packed with tech and rider aids, including active cruise control. but you’ll have to do without an electrically adjustable screen, or as much wind-cheating bodywork to hide behind.
