BMW Motorrad has launched the new 2021 BMW R 1250 RT with a host of different upgrades and enhancements in terms of safety, comfort, and rideability. It’s a long list of new additions to ensure that you’ll get your money’s worth when you opt for this new grand-tourer.
According to Harald Spagl, Project Manager, “We have given the R 1250 RT a new look, a comprehensive increase in standard equipment and numerous technical upgrades to achieve a whole new riding experience. As a dynamic tourer with the incomparable BMW ShiftCam engine, it also has the perfect power unit with impressive power across the entire speed range.”
Starting with firepower, the 2021 BMW R 1250 RT carries the 1,254cc boxer-twin engine with BMW’s ShiftCam technology that produces 136hp. Now Euro5-compliant, the RT is smoother and refined than ever before which is perfect for long-distance riding no matter what speed you’re travelling at.
