BMW Motirrad has updated the 2021 BMW R1250RT with a host of new features and factory-fitted options. Pricing in the UK for the R1250RT sports-tourer is 15,820 pounds sterling including VAT.
Coming with the iconic boxer-twin, the
R1250RT’s mill displaces 1,254 cc and produces 136 hp at 7,750 rpm and 143 Nm
of torque at 6,250 rpm, no change from the previous generation model. Power
response is governed by BMW Shiftcam variable intake valve timing and stroke
and gets to the ground via a six-speed gear box and shaft final drive.
New for 2021 is a 10.25-inch TFT-LCD
colour screen with integrated map navigation and connectivity. With the
upgraded display size, there is no longer a need for a separate screen for
navigation display, allowing all the information the rider needs to be shown in
one central location.
The list of factory fitted options for
next year’s R1250RT is extensive, and includes Riding Modes Pro with Dynamic
mode, Dynamic ESA electronic suspension and Hill Start Control Pro. Also
optional is the adaptive turning light that lights up the corner when turning,
an add-on to the new LED headlight unit that replaces the previous projector
lights.
Standard equipment on the R1250RT is three
riding mode, with new “Eco” mode for fuel efficiency, BMW Motorrad Full
Integral ABS Pro and Dynamic Traction Control DTC. The R1250RT comes in a base
colour of Alpine White with additional cost paint options being Exclusive
(Manhattan Grey Metallic), Sport (Racing Blue Metallic) or Option 719 (Mineral
White Metallic).
