The R 1250 RT is the perfect companion for your tour: its legendary BMW ShiftCam boxer engine propels you across local country roads just as powerfully as it does over winding mountain passes. Its new front end makes it look more dynamic and slimmer. Features, such as the extra-large 10.25" TFT display or Active Cruise Control (ACC) provide 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. A fully fledged #RideAndShare.

Large standard 10.25" TFT colour display
The large and easy-to-read 10.25" TFT screen with full HD resolution is both an instrument cluster and on-board computer. On it, you'll find the speedometer and rotational-speed sensor as well as map navigation and media.

New front with LED headlights
Looks good and gives you better vision: The new front end with LED headlights as standard emphasises the dynamic lines of the R 1250 RT even more, while the lower body height increases your field of view.

Full power in every speed range with BMW ShiftCam
The BMW ShiftCam variable camshaft control system delivers superior performance and - especially in the lower engine speed range - harmonious running, more control and power.

Endless power thanks to wireless charging
Protected against splashing water, your smartphone charges by induction or USB in the handy storage compartment - and you can use the navigator, use the phone and listen to music at the same time.

Simple operation with favourites button
Four buttons give you quick access to functions such as navigation or seat heating. You can easily switch while driving - your attention stays on the road.

Navigation on the 10.25" TFT screen
Know where you want to go? So does the R 1250 RT. And without an additional navigation device. Thanks to the BMW Motorrad Connected App and the interactive map view on the 10.25" TFT display, you'll be sure to reach the next leg of the tour unhindered.

Smooth travels with Active Cruise Control
Three letters, a big boost to safety: With the new ACC, your bike automatically maintains your desired speed and, via a radar sensor, a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

New audio system with a strong sound
The right sound accompaniment to your tour: The new and stronger amplifier provides rich sound. You can listen to DAB+ radio or music from your smartphone and control it conveniently via the Multi-Controller.
