BMW R 1250 RT (2025)

The R 1250 RT is the perfect companion for your tour: Its legendary BMW ShiftCam Boxer engine pulls just as powerfully over country roads as it does over winding mountain passes. Its updated front end makes it look more dynamic and slimmer. On the other hand, there is a wide range of features such as the extra-large 10.25″ TFT display or available Active Cruise Control (ACC) – providing extra comfort on your journey. And at the end of the day, you know that there’s nothing like shared experiences and a perfect companion.
