As far as 2-cylinder fans are concerned,
first-class touring has a memorable abbreviation - and it’s been
around for 30 years: RT. For long-haul travellers there can hardly be
any other term which has always stood for perfectly conceived
motorcycling concept from start to finish: excellent wind and weather
protection, optimum ergonomics, highly convenient operation combined
with a top-class chassis fitted with the unique optional extras ASC and
ESA II*. In the touring segment, these features probably define the
ultimate benchmark of innovation. Even though the R 1200 RT cuts a
superb figure everywhere with its dynamic new design, everything about
it sends out the message: built to cover thousands of miles, preferably
in one go.
