The 1997 BMW R 1100 RT embodies the perfect blend of performance, comfort, and sport-touring prowess. At its heart lies a smooth and refined eight-valve boxer engine, delivering 85% of its torque at just 3,000 rpm, making it a low- and mid-range performer that begs to be driven hard.
With its Telelever front suspension and Paralever rear, the R 1100 RT navigates corners with ease, its low center of gravity and short wheelbase encouraging aggressive riding. The full-coverage fairing and large hard saddlebags disappear into the background, revealing a sportbike at heart.
Traction is the R 1100 RT’s middle name, thanks to its 120 and 160-sized tires and ABS brakes, which instill confidence in even the most spirited driving. Whether cruising or carving, this motorcycle is the epitome of sport-touring, delivering a riding experience that is pure joy.
