I really don’t know why a lot of people think the RT is big and heavy. It’s probably the lightest bike in the touring class. Most touring bikes start at 800LBS before people and luggage. I owned a concours 14 and went to a K1600B for the magic motor. If BMW could shoe horn that motor into the RT I’d jump on it. However the boxer is adequate but has no soul IMHO….
I think the perception of "heavy" comes from how physically big it looks, especially from the front. But still 615 lbs is a lot when compared to "standard" bikes that are sub 500 lbs. It's all relative: If you ride a Goldwing, this bike is light. If you ride a Z650, this bike is heavy. And yes, the boxer engine was a big ole "meh" for me.... I wanted to like it, but not on this one at least. Thanks! Ride Safe!
@@ghostontwowheels yeah I loved everything else about the RT it just seemed like I had to work the motor more than I cared to, I just want to enjoy the ride don’t really want to think about rpm’s and what gear I’m in….
Fantastic motorcycle. Extremely good handling bike for those that like sport riding, and a fantastic tourer as well. I have had K16's also, and aside from long days of interstate, the RT is the better all around bike. That wasn;t much of a test ride in terms of being able to explore what the bike's capabilities are. Also, most inline 4's emit high frequency vibrations in the bars, seat, and foot pegs at around 4500 rpm.
True, test rides are limited, but in the short time I was on it, my feeling was "it's OK". I didn't like the vibes from the boxer engine. As such, I also disagree with your comment about inline 4's as well, as all the ones I've ridden (Versys 1000, MT10, GSXS1000, Ninja 1000, S1000XR) were all very smooth to me. But different opinions, and that's OK! RT is a good bike, but not for $20K+, at least, not for me. Thanks for checking out the video. Ride safe!
I agree .. The revs of inline 4's are definitely smoother than a twin but all inline 4's have more vibrations than a boxer unless they start adding counter-balancers into the engine. Which BMW inline4 are you most impressed with?
That boxer just felt vibey as soon as I cranked it up. I appreciated my online 4 so much more on the way home that day! The only BMW online 4 I road was the s1000xr. But that was nice!
haha, he was a character, but he was talking with one of the shop techs there about their big road trip like 3 years ago, going up thru Canada and to Alaska, being out on a 1 month trip. so, he may be one of those BMW fan boys, but by golly he does ride too, so I can't knock his enthusiasm!
100% agree with you. And, dollar amount aside, I'd pick the Versys over this one in a second. I'd pick a lot of bikes over this one in fact. But ask me again in 20 years I may be opting for the more plush and calm bikes... lol
Thanks for sharing your ride. The 26k plus cost is due to all the tech BMW stuffs into the RT and most of their other bikes. As a comparison, Harley Davidson tourers like the Street Glide or Road Glide are the same price and don't come close to offering the same amount of technology. The boxer engine is certainly unique and may not be for everyone. The Inline 4 and inline 6 from BMW are much smoother bikes especially when it comes to the quick shifter. However, they don't compare when it comes to the torque and that's where the boxer engine shines with its shift cam technology. In real world situations, that engine's pull is like no other. From the looks of your video, the demo ride was like most in that you don't really have an opportunity to open the bike up and really get on the throttle. That boxer engine can get you up to speed in seconds compared with an inline 4 that might have more hp, but takes some time to get there. Have to wind it out. I have a BMW R1250RS that comes with the boxer engine. It's the sportier version of the RT and lighter by close to 100 lbs as a result it's quicker. The boxer isn't for everyone as it does have a rumble to it with more vibration than the inline 4 or 6, but that's what most boxer enthusiasts love about the bike. Thanks again for sharing, ride safe and enjoy the wind!
Thanks for the feedback and checking out the video. Even though it is loaded with tech, there's still a bit of "BMW tax" in there I feel, compared to other high tech bikes from other OEMs. But, I think it's just as we've both noted, I don't like the vibe (figuratively and literally) of the boxer engine, but to each their own. I guess I'm one of those that appreciates the ride on two wheels rather than something that just rumbles my junk the whole time lol. Thanks again!
I bought a 2022 1250 R/T it cost $30,000 with the trunk. The B.M.W. made in China screen protector was $80.00 and the B.M.W. bike cover was about $200.00 would I do it again? probably not I still have the itch for a K.T.M. Super Duke G.T. I like having a cool sounding engine, but I will admit the wind protection...braking and overall handling of the 1250 R/T is top level as is the fuel mileage/tank capacity I have done well over 300 miles on a tank it's a great Interstate bike as well as the Canyons although the handlebar vibration is on the side of annoying...
Yeah, that's a lot. But, yeah, totally, you can knock out the miles on this guy. If you told me to go cross country on it I'm sure it would be better than most. But, still, I'm just not thrilled by that boxer. Oh well! Luckily that's why they make different models! Thanks for the checking out the video and leaving some feedback on the bike.
The whole time I was thinking "yeah, man, if it only had an inline 4 in it" and then boom you're on the Versys... :) I just want that giant electronic windshield and shaft (or belt) drive and I love the RT's bars and dash look (but you can't really stare at those while riding, so hrm). For the price they're asking, I'm gonna need it to blow cold air on me in the summer as well as have an engine with more zoom and less fart. How does the Versys wind protection compare to the RT, in your opinion?
Same... it's a big ole front that looks goofy. From the saddle you don't notice... but yeah, it's big, kinda weird looking. I think for 2up touring at that point you might start looking at the K 1600 GL (I think). It's their 6 cylinder, like a Goldwing. Super comfy looking for the passenger too.
After much analysis for a couple of years, I concluded for me that the 1250 rt vs my old BMW 1150 rt is: Too big, heavy, and too high seat level, I recommend buyers be at least 5'11" plus and expensive, base plus taxes + high normal maintenance costs. Yes, it will be a dream ride on the long runs of 1000s of miles and reliable.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing your perspective. I wanted to like that bike more than I did. It did make me realize that while the tech and gadgets are great, the core of the bike is what really matters: the engine and the feel of it. I didn't find it too heavy or too tall, but I'm also 6'2" so less of an issue there. Really good bike though!
@@ghostontwowheels- the 1250 weight is listed at 615 wet lbs, full fuel another 45 #, my normal travel kit 45#. The bike I will go to is 498 dry, 999 cc & about half the price for the prem model. Price, weight and seat height are big issues for me at 80 yrs & 5-9.5 ft.😕
The rt is an amazing tourer but the gsa is tbe daddy cos its good at many things and the rt is a bit to removed from the enviroment its great for long highway hauling but the gsa has 70%of the touring ability or mote but also keeps me involved in the inviroment more. Try the gs but if you dont like the lumpy engine its not gonna suit you
I'm 5'7 with 32" inseam and have no problem handling and flatfoot the bike with a lowered sargent seat. Love the bike and have over 17k miles in less than 2 yrs.
@@aarondeere i have owned 2 hexhead rt bikes loved both would have another tommorow they are basically a gs under the skin gs is a great bike as well i have found the 1250 gsa is the dogs its absolutely amazing
It's OK, he was some good entertainment at least! lol This was the first time I got to ride some BMW's. They are good machines, but pricey! Thanks for checking out the video!
Base price is a lot less. You can price it up to 27 K, no problem, but understand this is one of their PREMIUM touring models, so the one you are riding has a lot of options and Farkles.
Yup, hence the on screen correction. But base price is still a lot. It's a nice bike, no doubt, but I don't think it's a good value but compared to some others. It in other words the "BMW tax" is something I can do without! But again, I wouldn't hate riding it cross country! Thanks for checking it out!
This is true. That maintenance/repair cost is a big deterrent for bikes like this. However, if someone said ride this bike across the country, I'd be OK with that. But right now the Versys still has that sporty flavor I like.
@@ghostontwowheels I still think I'm going to end up with something like a 400 or one of the about to be released 450 nakeds. Could be a little too lightweight for big wind, but it will ride easy on the back of my van.
I appreciate you title this as a 'first' impressions but within minutes your saying its not for you etc and your review thereafter is full of contradictions. You say its a tourer so don't expect much then later you say its better than any sports bike you have ridden. I watched this then spent time researching the bike, understanding the controls like raising the screen before I rode it. Then I had a test ride of several hours which an again contradicted almost all of you impressions then I bought one. I've been Harley for 40+ years and the RT kicks the butt of a road glide that in the UK now is at least £10k more expensive with no tech before you do the compulsory stage 2, change the suspension, seat etc.
Well, it was my first impressions. I was reacting to what I felt about the bike. My first impression was it wasn't for me. How is that wrong? And I'm full of contradictions? is my assessment not allowed to change as I ride? Just because my opinion is different than yours in a 15 minute demo ride compared to your hours of riding and getting familiar with the bike doesn't make it a contradiction. It just means you liked it, I didn't. Am I missing something here? As for being better than any sport bike, it's because for me sport bikes are uncomfortable. If anything that's a slam on all sports bikes, not necessarily a plus for this thing. I didn't know I would be riding this bike, it was a spur of the moment decision to test ride it, so I didn't have the time to research the controls, etc. I just got on an reacted. I'm glad that you liked it! It's a good bike, just not one that I would seek out. Thanks for checking it out anyway!
So, what could make it smell better in the 15 minutes I had on it with no prep? I didn't know I going to ride that one, just jumped on and experienced it as is. And I guess you like pearls? Or is that just a random word? Wingnuts. Well thanks for stopping by!

@ghostontwowheels your opinion is wrong. I've had 20 bmw bikes in 16 years of which 2 of them were RTs. There's a real good reason the police force choose this bike for their use. Also bmw is the safest bike
@@onildesrochers3997 LOL another BMW fanboy... you can't tell me my opinion is wrong. You can think the bike is great, and that's fine.
