BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Hi guys, I'm looking to purchase an RT, what are the main differences between the 2013 & 2014 models? Many thanks.

Cheers Mate, that puts my mind at rest somewhat, I'm used to 4's & triumph triples (again not the smoothest at low revs), I suppose the huge pistons in the boxer don't help, I love the bike, but just wanted some re-assurance that all is as it should be.
Ride safe.

Super unleaded, it was nearly empty when I filled up.

Hi guys, after over 35 years of riding, I have just got my first BMW, 2005 R1200RT, 38000milez, full history, outstanding condition for its age. My question is about the engine having never owned a boxer twin before. When I move away, especially uphill, the engine sounds like a diesel upto about 300...
