The problem is I am still in love with my 2016 RT! It just keeps going, and going, and going.....
Finally some solid information, I was just discussing the possible changes with my dealer colors and TFT specifically. And one of my favorite colors doesn’t hurt...looks like an upgrade is in order.
Wow this new bike is beautiful, BMW did an amazing job. The front end is beautiful and the new tech is awesome!
Great that you like it, Mike! 🤗
Since ever my model, my BMW... for 20 years! RTTTTTTT
I currently have a 2016 rt but I love the new look and definitely be at my dealer when they get them in !
Hi Dean,
that's what we call bold plans!
the pinstripe finish is beautiful
Start full and you can do a 1000km day with just one fuel stop ! Thanks BMW ! Truly excellent
I have 2400 miles on my new RT. Great motorcycle, love the engine, suspension, brakes, handling and comfort. Don’t expect the navigation, or any of the cellphone features or media features to work reliably though. My dealer in Indianapolis IN, doesn’t have the tools or training to fix any of these issues and the factory is unable to help. Great bike really bad technology execution and implementation, if you buy one of these bikes you will be on your own.
As follow up after the BMW firmware update things seem to be working much better now (after 3 weeks in the shop).
Nearly 25min video and no mention of what the new colors would actually be and you didn’t show the lovely blue RT to the back right side. An improved horn was added and not mentioned. Yes a horn. Now more than ever a better horn is mandatory. No mention of any heated elements as standard. Check out A Long Way Home, another TH-cam channel covered this in his video. Now the good..Well done with the long overdue TFT screen! The face lift and angular design looks fantastic! The white with 719 option is absolutely gorgeous. The last thing for me would be to add “back-lit handlebar switches” for night riding then it’s perfect.
Hello Road Glide,
thank you for your honest feedback! 👍
Beautiful bike, when will it be available in India? And what’s the ground clearance ? Thanks
Absolutely stunning machine 👌🏻 looks amazing.
Great you like the new R 1250 RT as much as we do! What's your favorite new part? 😊
Ducati revealed radar based cruise control for Multistrada v4 and now bmw have done the same. Its great to see more and more car based features in bike.
Is there Android Auto or Carplay support, which can be really advantageous with that huge TFT?
Please BMW, give us Apple CarPlay!
At last! Go BMW RT.
The RT 2021 looks great. I still love my 2015 K1600 GTL but I might have to switch next year.
Hello johnbe2, the K 1600 GTL definitely is also a great bike! In this case, we can recommend you to schedule a test ride with the R 1250 RT once the bike will be available at local dealers in spring 2021. Your local dealer can then be found via this link: www.bmw-motorrad.com/dealer
Until then, you also find further information on our website: www.bmw-motorrad.com/en/shorturls/r1250rt.html?tl=soc-yutu-12rt-pro-miy-.-.-techndet-.-. 😊
Fantastic, new 2021 model RT ordered today 👍👍
Hello Gerry, that's great to hear and congrats to your soon-to-be new bike! 😊
Bravo!!!
Wao Amazing Bro. #nadeemvlogs
Porsche of dynamism, nice expression👌 bought the new gs rallye today
Awesome! Feel free to send us some pictures of your first ride. 😍
Will the new 10” TFT be available to retrofit onto the 1250gs so the navigator system can be removed? Or any plans for a new nav system for the gs?
Hey LAMBO 281, t
he new display is not available on the 1250 GS. Please understand tha we do not give any information about future models.
I have had several RT’s since a R1100RT culminating with a 1200RT L/C which I found uncomfortable with an awkward grip angle. I traded it quickly for a GS because I Couldn’t get on with it, I have since got ride of the GS and now ride a 2019 Goldwing Touring DCT , really like the Wing but as a day to day bike it’s probably too much so would consider an RT as another bike , has the handlebar angle/ position changed with this new 1250?
Sounds Like that could be answered with a test ride
Hello Daryl,
the handlebar ergonomics have been adopted. Feel free to try out the different seat heights offered on a test ride. Please contact your local dealer for this: www.bmw-motorrad.com/dealer.
I am very interested in the 2021 R1250RT in the blue colour, would there be a matching top case available as an option?

Wherever you ride in Europe , the roads are busy .. I think BMW have done well to launch ACC.
New R18 new RT....BMW YOU ARE KILLER !!!
VERY VERY BEAUTYFUL BIKES
THANKS BMW !!!!
Wow! Thanks for such a fantastic feedback! 😍🙌
Needs Apple and Android car play but way. What an improvement
Subhanallah, what the awesome engineering from BMW. Good job and keep it up
Thank you, Farid! Stay tuned for the upcoming content in the next days on our social media channels! 🙌
Tight! :)
Will it have the optional central locking system for the panniers and top-case? Is there to be a variety of seat height options, as before? What are the service interval and what warranty can we expect? Are we still to be short-changed in comparison to America?
Roger, that’s a good question. I had a K1600 for a week and that had keyless operation of the panniers. A truly worthwhile facility.
I noticed, on the video above, even the RT “new” phone storage area had a key operation. Seems like they missed a trick there ?
Hello Roger,
the R 1250 RT will have an optional central locking system and a variety of seat height options.
Furthermore the service interval is the same as before and for questions regarding the warranty we kindly ask you to contact your local dealer as it depends on country specifics.

does it use same engine, gearbox, driveshaft as current model with very expensive dealer maintenance servicing costs or has it changed so it will it be cheaper to maintain?
I love BMW understqnds we want long distance.. therefore good eco performance and large fuel tanks!
When will the new tft be pass down to the gs? When will the all new gs with a total change come out?
Hello ilham riyadi, thank you for your interest in the TFT display and our GS models. Please appreciate that we do not make any statements regarding our future models or technologies. We'll keep you updated on our social media channels! However, did you already get a chance to look at our all new R 1250 GS? If not, make sure to visit our website and have a look: www.bmw-motorrad.com/en/shorturls/r1250gs.html. 😉
Please please update the K1600, especially the dash. Please put the new TFT on it. The 11 year old dash is what is keeping me from purchasing that bike.
Ken, me too ! (And the other irritating feature is the number “6” that appears , in a childish manner, all over the bike.) Unnecessary! .... imho !
@@maxflight777 I test drove a K1600 GTL for 30 minutes last weekend and that engine is amazing. But the bike as you know needs some updates. Maybe next year.
Yes the k1600 was my planned motorcycle but the redesigned RT had won me over
I had a 1200 rt from 2012 till 2018, no i own a 1250 rt from 2019, i wonder why you dont make the controle buttons on the handlebar lightning like on some ktm bikes and like on the goldwing, it is much more easy to find the right button when you drive in the night,
Hello jan caers,
thank you for your feedback! If you have any other suggestions for improvement, please let us know 😊

f***ing amazing bike
Hallo BMW mottorad,
I wanted to ask why is the wheelbase so short on this model? What is the exact wheelbase in relation to the k1600?
Hello A.G,
the wheelbase on the R 1250 RT is 1485 mm and on the K1600 GT 1618 mm.
Best regards,
your BMW Motorrad Team
@@bmwmotorrad thank you for your reply, but it looks some kind of short wheelbase on RT, but I am sure you have yours reasons... Thanks anyway..
Pray can someone explain the flipping RT mirrors ?
I have an R1250GS HP, I’d certainly move to this new RT, they are compelling, It’s a perfect bike.
Especially if you ride many miles as I do. (21,000km +/year )
What I can’t accept, are unusual mirrors that hamper my ability to filter.
I wish it had the same mirrors as my GS !
They work so well.
I have RT and initially thought the same. You soon get used to the mirrors and for filtering they’re actually better as they don’t stick out and are rarely at the height of car or truck mirrors. Dead easy to lane split and IMO better than the traditional mirrors on other bikes I’ve owned once you get used to their position.
@@Rufus-OG Thanks Rufus, appreciated. I’m sure you are correct. It’s a problem I’m having inside my own mind! I’ll have to come to terms with it!
PUMMMMM and they did it again!
Nice features, very good colour combination. When knobs will have a backlight?
Why would you need that ?

I enjoyed the video, I thought the live atmosphere was very authentic. I was just a bit disappointed that the camera guy did not do any detailed shots of the Sport model in blue, it remained in the background the entire run of the video at quite a distance under artificial light. I assumed that there would be a follow-up video showing some up close details of the different RT models and some outside shots, but there has been no follow-up.
In fact, after over three months have passed since the video was uploaded and I have yet to find any real-life shots of the "Sports" model. Since all showrooms are closed in Germany, there is no way to get a closer look. When will BMW offer a spotlight video of the new models? When will youtubers start getting review units? It would be great if you could offer some guidance.

I have a 1200 gsa for the moment but want a second bike for touring with my wife. And hesitating to buy the new rt or the BMW k 1600 gtl. Is there also an upgrade coming for k1600. Thank you.
Hi Stefan,
please appreciate that we do not make statements regarding our model policy. We're happy to keep you updated with the latest information about our bikes on our channels and not to miss anything. 🙂
I would also like to get some news about this. At least something just to clarify if it worth keep waiting some more months for a new K1600 or moving to another model or brand. But it is a deep silence on it.
Keren banget nih👍
I have the 2020 Gs Hp, then2018 Xr Hp and the 2016 Rs Hp...this bike with the new futures is amazing how it ll fit in my portfolio? Should i trade in the RS?
Hi Peter,
we are sure that the new BMW R 1250 RT would definitely look good in your garage as the fourth bike. 😉
Just to throw it out there, have BMW considered a DCT gearbox for its long distance tourers?
Hi Robert,
please appreciate that we do not make statements regarding our model and technology policy. We're happy to keep you updated with the latest information about our bikes on our channels and not to miss anything.

Compare to Honda Goldwing dash screen. Which looks better? Which function better?
You're on the wrong channel...
@@Andre-hi9xn Time for your meds...
Hi we want a New k16 ! I i had 1 k17 2017 and i have sold it i buy gsa 1250 but i want to come back in k16
I currently own my 5th & 6th BMWs - ‘16 R1200RT & ‘20 R1250GSA. I’ve previously owned a K1600GT & a K1600GTL Exclusive. The area for improvement I’ve always wanted is a wide ratio transmission. In the States, highway speeds are 70-80 mph, which translates to roughly 4200-4400 rpm. Both the boxer & I6 engines are superb and could easily take a 20% higher top gear. I would guess this would improve the fuel economy more than ECO mode, and would definitely enhance ECO mode, plus extend the range even further. I’ve ridden in the EU and the current transmissions are perfect as speed limits rarely seem to exceed 100 kph (62 mph). But for the North American market, a wider ratio trans would be ideal. All that said, the ‘16 will be traded in on the new ‘21 RT.
Thank you for your feedback, Larry!
Any sign of the 'In the Spotlight' video mentioned please?
Hello S P,

@@bmwmotorrad Hi thanks for answering. I don't watch social media. I shall have to wait for my new bike to HOPEFULLY arrive in March.
Fix the drive shaft splines and fix the audio.
Any chance on black colour finish?
Hello Janko,
thanks for your interest! The new BMW R 1250 RT is currently not available in black. Find out all colours and options in our configurator: www.bmw-motorrad.com/en/shorturls/r1250rt.html. 🙂
Finally 1250 rt 👌
Here it is! 🔥
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Is the seat to foot peg ratio changed at all?
Hey MrBarlien, the ergonomics triangle has not changed.This applies that the same driver's seat and the same seat setting are compared.
My R1100RT is my love. She is beautiful and green, pin stripped with grace, born in March of 1999. She has a little Rotax brother from the same year, built south of the border.
Hello King of the World, sounds lovely. 😊
You really need to make a very deep review about your communication system 7, I mean with all the features about speaking with passenger, using phone calls, connectivity and navigation. I haven’t found something like that in your channel and I really love all the tech innovations that you are adopting in your new models. As an F850GS owner, and a system 7 helmet, you can see that I am a BMW brand lover but I am doubting if I should buy a Cardo system because I see a lot of reviews about that system and non about BMW’s.
Hello Carlos,
Thank you so much for your honest feedback and interest. We will forward this information internally and keep you posted on our Social Media Channels.
I have also asked in response whether the charging compartment is standard or is it part of the expensive audio option? :) Had the answer from Motorrad by other means thanks. For those interested the phone charging compartment is standard.
Many Thanks
Hey thre, the charging compartment is not part of the audio system, but it’s a separate optional equipment.
@@bmwmotorrad There seems to be confusion among Motorrad staff about whether this important compartment is standard fit or a optional extra? I had this answer earlier on another video session. th-cam.com/video/Z7RnX25Ix00/w-d-xo.html

@BMW Motorrad Thanks for answering I am trying to find out if the storage compartment is standard or if it is an extra option. My dealer doesn't know so I don't know what spec of bike to order? Do I need to buy the audio option to have the phone compartment?

Hello S P,
the storage compartment is standard. So you dont have to order it as an option. For further information check out our live Podcast by following this link: th-cam.com/video/W7FR49sVLZ8/w-d-xo.html
1st gen 1250RT buyers would be mad at all these upgrades. Honestly, I didn't expect the RT to get that many breaking features so quick. Rather I expected a successor for the K1600 with all those upgrades as well as an optional automatic gearbox. Auto gearbox is the only thing that I'd really be missing on such a maxed out bike in this price class. BMW has some catching up to do in their touring class bikes - the Goldwing is the better choice right now as long as the K1600 is discontinued and the only luxury touring model is available with a rumbling boxer. Not the fastest bike either. Not that I don't like the boxer, but luxury touring starts off with a silky smooth engine, which the Boxer isn't one of.
As much as I would love to upgrade from my R1200RT to a new model, I'm still waiting for BMW to address their reliability issues before I commit to buying a new one. Cheers!
everyone is amazed by gadetry
I would be interested to understand how the sensor for the tempomat will work in real life when it gets covered in flies on those long trips, also why do the engineers not extend the front fender at the rear to prevent all the road crud and stones thrown from the front wheel hitting the engine cover.
I can provide an answer for that, at least to some degree. My 2017 Prius Prime has adaptive cruise control. On a day with wet, slushy snow, the radar at the front of the car, under the Toyota emblem, will sometimes get covered with slush. The car will give an error message that the adaptive cruise control cannot function and the cruise control turns off. This would happen much more quickly than an accumulation of bugs. In either case, it is a simple task to clean off the radar unit.
Hello Paul,
There is a dirt kit available for the rear wheel as an accessory.
Furthermore the front splash guard has been redesigned to reduce dirt.
Best regards,
your BMW Motorrad Team
If BMW had just added the TFT display and ACC in the 2019 RT I just purchased, I wouldn't have to upgrade. Oh, I guess that is the point.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hate the Ipad they put on it. They could have gone with adding a smaller TFT display where the GPS used to be and keep the rest of the displays from the prior version.
Hello,
I say this because I wrote to my dealership, then to the district manager (regional manager) then to German BMW, and France. But as soon as we ask technical or embarrassing questions, no one ever answers. I am also administrator of an RT forum. And I am also the proud owner of a 2021 BMW R1250 RT. I say happy because it is a superb machine.
1. I see that a lot of people have problems reading their music (Media) and especially playlists. Cannot read playlists with Android. Even after the third TFT software update. Why not just put a USB plug (like my ex K1600 GTL from 2012) to be able to read music from a USB key? Much simpler.
2. Why does the sound increase two notches in two notches instead of one notch in one notch? Sometimes we don't have enough sound and sometimes we have too much.
Hi guys one question plz
What’s the difference between k1600 and this bike
Completely different engine.
Hi Syed,
all interesting technical data of these bikes can be found on our website: bmw-motorrad.com. 😉
Larger bike and bigger displacement engine. 1600 vs 1250. Now go look all this up.
@@bmwmotorrad thanks
Inline 6 vs a boxer twin, very different characteristics, a bit heavier bike overall with the k1600, the r1250rt is a midsize i would say, k1600 is more on par with goldwing for example. 😁
Now that the configurator is fully live, it appears that despite BMW Motorrad assuring me in an earlier answer that the compartment is standard, it isn't!! It is a very expensive Enhanced Telephony with Extended Smartphone Connectivity £250 option (not an option originally?)! Although the bike was already ordered, I definitely wouldn't have spent that, £20 will get a very good power pack to keep the phone charged if necessary. Also, as I do mainly long complicated routes in the UK and Europe (when able), the latest post from BMW Motorrad suggests that I will need to keeep using my sat nav anyway!! Still looking forward to getting the new bike anyway :)
I hope BMW will offer a DTC ( Dual Clutch Transmission ) in the near future. Honda 's DTC system is the way to go.
Well modernised BMW - front looks great & tech leading edge. But loss of package specs like old LE is not so attractive - more options but more cost?
front wheel size ....
Hi 말봉이,
the size of the front wheel is 3,50'' x 17''.😉

How reliable is the bike? I heard lots of electric problems.
Hello T Tengerész,
feel free to contact your dealer for a test ride after the market launch. You can convince yourself of our new BMW R 1250 RT in person. 🤗
Always liked the 1100 RT look better with the full fairing
Well I was kinda hoping for a new K1600GT
Me too !
Are BMW going to add “what3words” to their navigation system?
“Very nice bike”
125 hp was the pre shift cam engine, this one has 135 hp, no?
The new BMW R 1250 RT has 136 hp. 👍
Hello, it would also be good a brand new Maxi GT and Sport Scooter, a small RT in 850 cc scooter version to directly compete (crush) the Honda Forza 750 and XAdv! with large TFT screen, electric screen, electronic suspension, heated grips etc etc etc ... 🥰✌🏽
Hello gwadaflat,
thank you for your feedback.😉
Lots of updates ... but not the one that R12**RT riders actually needed ... the air flow winglets off the K1600. I love my 9yr old R1200RT but it gets hot as hell with no airflow behind the fairings and screen. BMW fixed this on the K1600 with the air flow winglets ... but not the R1250RT. Come on BMW ... option for some fresh air on the RT to make this a comfortable cruiser in 30+ degrees - thanks from Australia 🇦🇺 where it’s hot 6 months of the year 👍🏻

在RT和GS之间做选择，的确是件折磨人的事。如果能够两者皆得，那人生还有什么憾事
You forgot one important thing to be the ultimate touring motorcycle ..!!
Why didn't you add reversing?
Only the 1600 has a reverse mode
High cost of maintenance here in Canada every 20 km 900.00 for adjusting the valves is crazy. That holds me back plus lack of dealer network. Is nice up grades from old bike 👍🏻😎🏍💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦
Easy to learn valve adjustment yourself. Try TH-cam‼️
Very nice design. I won't buy it because I hate the poor reliability of german production and the high cost for maintenance, but I must recognize that it's very very nice motorbike.
3. Why not put the map software in the TFT, that would avoid waiting minutes for the application to connect to the motorcycle? Since the software was made in collaboration with TOMTOM. Cannot share a favorite with a friend.
4. Why not put Apple because play as is done with the competition? We could have used Waze (for example).
5. We the owners are never informed of anything. No information on the operation of the software? What does a new update bring? How does it work? Etc .... The dealers don't know anything either.
Despite all this, it is a superb bike, the chassis, the engine etc ..... even the TFT is good. Two-thirds, one-third of the screen is awesome. The logic of use is just poorly thought out. But that may still change. Because the K16s will have it and the R18s. This will make people ask themselves questions. ......
Thank you for reading me and a Happy New Year everyone.
On the video at about 15.50 it is stated that the right-hand pocket with the ability to plug in a mobile phone is standard, is that accurate please? I can't see how it would be possible to use the phone and the app to ride routes without the ability to power the phone? Otherwise, any day tours using the TFT and nav app would be limited by phone charge. I have ordered a new bike as I was changing my 2017 1200RT anyway, but the dealer can't find any answers to this and other questions. Thanks
Thanks for reaching out to us. The compartment in which you place the smartphone automatically charges it. 😉
@@bmwmotorrad Thanks for taking the time to answer. Is this facility standard or is it an option at extra cost?
It is an extra option. Prices vary from market to market.
Did you say 125 Hp ? I thought the 1250 engine already produced 136 hp. I hope it’s a typo ...
Hi Mihai,
the new BMW R 1250 RT has 136 hp. 👍
😁
TFT, TFT, Yes its nice but is it a deal breaker? Not a chance. Who watches TV whilst riding a motorbike?
Love the blue. But my Mars red will stay with me for a long long time. :-)
Hello Nigel Nichol, thank you for your feedback. Your Mars Red R 1250 RT definitely is a keeper - but if you anyways want to learn about the new R 1250 RT feel free to visit our website: www.bmw-motorrad.com/en/shorturls/r1250rt.html?tl=soc-yutu-12rt-pro-miy-.-.-techndet-.-. 😉
Looks cool I like the new additions really improved the bike and brings it into the 21sr century. BUT THE WORST THING about the RT are the cramped ergonomics. The seat is too low, and the pegs are too high. Stop making bikes for midgets, I’m sorry, little people.
HI CPUspeed, thanks for your feedback!
The high seat is the perfect option for you. The 25 mm higher rider's seat is suitable for tall riders. The seat can be installed in two positions so that a seat height of 830 or 850 mm is achieved. Feel free to configurate your bike exactly how you want it to be. Find out all colours and options in our configurator: www.bmw-motorrad.com/en/shorturls/r1250rt.html. 🙂
i do miss the antenna although I don't use radio much. but it's a cool design element.
The front of this new model looks like a Honda. It misses the personality of the prior R1250RT I own myself. Also no room anymore above the dash for your own phone or navi. Will probably not trade in my '19 R1250RT for this model...
This bike is my dream butt i cant afford that my dream is ride this bike tour around the world se the neture only bmw bike perfect touring bike
I think i never buy that bike .when i see that bike you cant Not Imagen wich feeling growing in me
This is feature bmw bike
IM poore persoon this bike i see only my dreems that's truth
Very nice changes to the front, but need to go further. The front is too bulbous, too bulky. Slim it down into more muscular look.
ain't get ya... the rt (sporty tourer) is fine that way... less fairing (less windprotection), more sporttourer, go for the rs... want it all, get ya a swiss knife ;)
@@justRORIRARU Good point, I agree with that logic.
Embarrassing.. a K1600 in the RT video 😖
Hard to get excited about about a horizontal twin engine that has it's origin in 1924 and has a redline of 9000 RPM. I have ridden this bike and it's terribly underpowered! Just try passing vehicles on a single lane road wit this bike.
How could BMW choose the horizontal twin vs the K1300 motors? BIG THUMBS DOWN! Get with the 21st century BMW even Ducati is dropping their twins!
Its kept its engine design, because thats its trump card. Weight is nice and low in frame like no other touring bike,why fix it if its not broke. 9k redline is good considering the torque its makes low down. 0 to 60 in just over 3 sec, what the hell can you not pass at that rate, the 50 to 90mph figures probably make super cars look slow.
