R 1200 RT PRODUCT INFORMATION. BMW Motorrad 2015 bmw-motorrad.com The Ultimate Riding Machine
OVERVIEW. We don t just travel for the destination, but for the experience, for the new things we discover along the way, for the sheer pleasure of seeing life from a new perspective. It s the chance to get away from the everyday and rediscover yourself. A journey is only as good as the memories you take away from it. We took this to heart when designing the R 1200 RT. That s why every tour on it is an unforgettable one whichever seat you find yourself in. MODEL COLOURS... 4 5 STANDARD EQUIPMENT... 6 7 EQUIPMENT FOR THE R 1200 RT... 8 17 RIDER EQUIPMENT...18
