The 2005 and newer BMW R1200RT happens to be my favorite Sport Touring bike of all time. It has all of the creature comforts most of like for two up riding but it does not weigh a ton and handles well enough to make winding roads a hoot. I had my own 2006 model and think it is the best thing since sliced bread. I am not alone, ask any Motor Officer which Sport Tourer they think handles the best and they will all say the BMW R1200RT.

But in 2010, BMW did a final refit and upgrade before the water cooled version came out in 2014. Man did they cure all of the nick picks I had about my bike. They created the Twin Cam engine which added a little more power and torque, but the big plus was doubling the valve adjust service interval to 16,000 miles. They rationalized the hand controls and switching devices away from “We are BMW and you will like these switches…” to intuitive and simple choices. The rest of the bike stayed pretty much the same, a twist here, a twinkle there. It is the best engine BMW has made as far as I am concerned.

So when I heard that we were getting a 90th Anniversary 2013 RT in I was excited to be offering the bike for sale. I talk about the BMW Twin Cam drivetrain to almost anyone who is looking at a BMW Twin. This 90th Anniversary model was loaded to the hilt with factory packages including the Tail Trunk and 90th Anniversary Badges. This bike was sold new and serviced by Hansen’s BMW in Medford until being taken to Ozzie’s BMW recently for a new fuel pump and fluids swap. Dave at Precision Motorrad installed new tires less than 1 mile ago so the bike is ready to go, needing additional fuel and a direction to go. The owner has installed Russell Day Long heated custom seats in a custom gray leather covering. It also comes with factory installed Cruise Control, Heated Grips and Electronically Adjustable Windscreen. Cosmetically it is excellent with the exception of the bags having been repainted at one time.

If you are looking at doing some serious secondary road touring or just blazing across the Interest State by yourself or with a passenger, you will not find a better handling, more comfortable bike in the range of Sport Touring bikes. Just ask someone that owns one.
