Remarks

The latest touring machine to carry the legendary "RT" badge has everything you need to carry you through your next thousand kilometres. Whether you are heading for the horizon or winding your way through the mountains the flat twin's power never seems to run out, whether surfing the endless wave of available torque or taking the engine to its remarkably high limit, you'll always be able to put in an extra burst of speed when needed.

A tailor-made package of comprehensive accessories with a wide range of technical features ensures a perfect fit with your own touring needs - and the acclaimed ABS system comes as standard (the groundbreaking BMW Motorrad Automatic Stability Control system is available as a factory-fitted option).

The reviews of this bike speak for themselves.
