Pre-Owned 2008 BMW R1200RT – 1170cc Touring Motorcycle with ABS & Shaft Drive
The BMW R1200RT is a premium long-distance touring motorcycle engineered for comfort, stability, and effortless highway performance. Powered by a 1170cc air/oil-cooled boxer twin engine, it delivers strong low-end torque and smooth, consistent power ideal for highway cruising, cross-country touring, and two-up riding.
The signature BMW boxer engine layout keeps the center of gravity low, improving balance and handling stability, especially at higher speeds and during long-distance travel. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and shaft drive system, the R1200RT offers smooth power delivery with minimal maintenance requirements compared to chain-driven motorcycles.
Designed for comfort, the R1200RT features an upright riding position, wide touring seat, adjustable windscreen, and full fairing, providing excellent wind and weather protection for long rides. The ergonomics are built specifically to reduce rider fatigue over extended journeys.
