It features a 1,170 cc (71 cu in) flat-twin engine with a six-speed gearbox and shaft drive.

The first of these were "airhead" models that continued BMW's long tradition dating to 1923 of producing "boxer" or opposed-twin engined motorcycles with unit engine-transmission construction and shaft final drive. A change occurred, however, in 1995 when BMW produced its first "oilhead" RT, the R1100RT. The new machine included oil-cooling, standard ABS brakes, four-valve heads, 5 speed gearbox, Telelever front suspension, Paralever rear suspension, and an electrically adjustable screen. In 2002, BMW launched the R1150RT, providing the same basic platform with increased engine capacity and horsepower, fully linked, power-assisted ABS brakes, revised front lighting system and a 6 speed gearbox. This model was further updated in 2004 by the addition of two spark plugs per cylinder. [edit] R1200RT - since 2005 The next version of the RT series arrived in 2005 with the introduction of the R1200RT.[3] The design of this model is completely different from the R1150RT with a 15% boost in power, 20 kg (44 lb) weight saving,[3][4] optional electronically adjustable suspension (ESA) and on-board computer. A low seat and/or a lowered suspension are available for shorter riders reducing seat height to a lowest level of 820 mm (32.3 in),[4] although the lowered suspension eliminates the ESA option. The standard electrically operated windscreen can be adjusted across a large range of heights. The servo powered ABS brakes on the 2005 and 2006 models are partially integrated such that the rear brake pedal only applies the rear brake while the front brake lever applies both brakes. For the 2007 model year, servo assist has been removed from the partially integrated brakes. The new, more advanced ABS system is lighter and has been produced by Continental Teves, which also produces the optional Automatic Stability Control (ASC),[5] BMW's traction control system for motorcycles.[6] An electronic tire pressure monitor (TPM) was introduced as an option. During the production of the 2006 models the original two-tone horns were replaced by a single-tone horn. Other optional equipment includes cruise control, heated grips, heated seats for both the rider and passenger, and a CD/Radio audio system. With 110 hp (82 kW) and 85 ft·lbf (115 N·m) of torque, the R1200RT is suitable for long-distance touring carrying a rider and passenger and a full load of luggage; and is able to reach 135 mph (220 km/h) and do a standing quarter mile in 12.2 seconds.[3] In November 2009, BMW announced some revisions to the R1200RT for the 2010 model year. The new model has the same horsepower, but more torque at 88 ft·lbf (119 N·m), a higher engine speed of 7,750 rpm, and double overhead camshafts first used on the BMW HP2 Sport.[7] There are some relatively minor styling changes and revisions to the screen and cockpit designs, switch gear (including conventional indicators), and location of the hydraulic fluid reservoirs.

In addition, a unique R900RT model is produced for this market, which is not available to the general public. BMW bikes have been popular with United Kingdom police forces in the past and many chose to return to them in 2007, taking delivery of BMW R1200RT after the Honda ST1300 Pan-European was withdrawn due to handling concerns.[8] It is also used by the traffic police in Ireland. Many western states and cities in the United States use the R1200RT-P for police duty, most notably California, especially since Kawasaki in 2005 stopped producing its economical KZ1000P police motorcycle. In the United States, more than 225 law enforcement agencies have BMW authority motorcycles in their fleets of patrol vehicles.[9] The authority variant can be recognized by the addition of chrome crash bars situated about the front fairing, and could also be used for mounting of additional equipment such as sirens, crash bars around panniers, "city" lids to panniers or unique top-loading panniers, single seat with radio box, additional switch gear for equipment, emergency lighting, and second battery.[10] In July 2010, Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service in England began trialling a fire bike version of the R1200RT fitted with twin 25 L (5.5 imp gal; 6.6 US gal) water tanks and a 30 m (98 ft) hose, capable of delivering water spray or foam to extinguish fires.[11] [edit] Reviews and awards The R1200RT was selected as the "Best Touring Bike" by two major American monthly motorcycle magazines.[12] In September 2006, the R1200RT was named the United Kingdom's "number one motorcycle" by readers of RiDE magazine in its annual "RiDER POWER" survey.[13] It repeated this achievement in 2007, reached second place overall in 2008,[4] and won the top spot once more in 2009. In October 2006, the R1200RT was cited as the "Best Tourer" for the second year in a row by Motorcycle News in the UK. The citation read: The R1200RT was awarded the accolade after RiDE readers were invited to nominate and assess their favourite bike according to a number of rating categories. These included build quality, engine performance, rider comfort, reliability, handling and overall impressions. The RT which also won the 2005 MCN Best Tourer Award in its first year of production received an overall score of 85.14 per cent, beating 149 other motorcycles to the number one spot. Over 10,000 readers voted in the survey and each was asked to justify their choice of bike. "Overall this is a brilliant bike, I haven't had so much fun in ages" said one RT owner. A second writes: "I've had no faults, build quality or reliability issues. I'm extremely impressed with my BMW." Another claims that his RT is "the best bike I've ever owned." —Motorcycle News [edit] Safety issues The R1200RT has been affected by a number of safety issues since its launch. The UK Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) has issued six separate vehicle recalls covering the front brakes,[14][15] anti-lock braking system,[16][17] throttle cable,[18] and clutch.[19] This compares with just two for its R1150RT predecessor. Similar recalls have been issued by vehicle safety authorities in other countries. [edit] See also History of BMW motorcycles [edit] References ^ a b "R1200RT Data Sheet" (PDF).

The R1150GS models are part of the BMW GS family of dual-sport adventure motorcycles that have been produced from 1981 to the present date. The bikes have a 1,130 cc horizontally-opposed flat-twin engine and shaft drive. Contents 1 Production history 2 Model differences 3 Awards and popularity 4 References 5 External links [edit] Production history The 1,130 cc R1150GS had a new six-speed gearbox. It replaced the R1100GS, which had a 1,085 cc engine and a five speed gearbox. The standard R1150GS model was produced from 1999 to 2004, when it was replaced by the more powerful and lighter R1200GS. The Adventure, which was produced from 2001 to 2005, was replaced by the R1200GS Adventure in 2006. In late 2002, the optional ABS system was replaced with an electrically servo-assisted combined braking system. In addition the engines were equipped with twin spark plugs on each cylinder to improve emissions and improve a persistent surging problem that affected many BMW boxer models. 58,023 units of standard R1150GS model were produced, while 17,828 units of the Adventure models were produced.[2] The R1150GS is a popular bike for offroad trails [edit] Model differences The R1150GS Adventure featured a number of differences over the standard bike to make it more suitable for overland and adventure travel.[3] These included an optional 30-litre (6.6 imp gal; 7.9 US gal) fuel tank, larger screen, single-piece seat, 20 millimetres (0.8 in) taller suspension front and rear, lower first gear and a conventional sixth gear in place of the standard model's overdrive gear. Common options on both models were heated handgrips and ABS brakes. [edit] Awards and popularity In 2000, Cycle World Magazine awarded the R1150GS "Best Sport Touring Bike".[4] In 2005, the R1150GS Adventure was awarded "Best Traillie" by British publication RiDE Magazine, while the standard model came third.[5] The R1150GS Adventure was used in 2004 by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman in their 18,887 miles (30,396 km) ride from London to New York, featured in the book and TV series Long Way Round.[6] Its successor, the R1200GS Adventure was used in the follow up Long Way Down trip. It was also used by Guinness World Record motorcycle endurance holder Simon Newbound.[7] Kevin Sanders and his wife Julia used the R1150GS for their Guinness World Record for the fastest world circumnavigation by motorcycle in 2002. They also used the R1150GS Adventure for their record-breaking traversal of the Pan-American Highway in 2003.[8] [edit] References ^ "BMW R1150GS (1999-2005) Review".
