Years2021–present
A large 10.25-inch TFT, revised fairing lights and optional active cruise control make this facelift easy to identify. The ShiftCam powertrain remained broadly unchanged while touring and safety equipment became more modern.
1,254 cc · 136 hp · 2 cyl.
Years2019–2020
The first R 1250 RT combines the established RT fairing with the stronger ShiftCam boxer. It retains the older analogue-digital cockpit and lacks the facelift's large TFT and radar system.
1,254 cc · 136 hp · 2 cyl.
The BMW R 1250 RT has been BMW's premium twin-cylinder tourer since 2019. The 1,254 cc boxer with variable valve timing (ShiftCam) makes 136 hp and 143 Nm, blending strong low-rev pull with a sharp top end. Standard equipment includes a full fairing with electric screen, ABS Pro, ASC, Hill Start Control, a 10.25-inch TFT and cruise control. Option packs add Dynamic ESA, adaptive cornering xenon, panniers and (from 2021) Adaptive Cruise Control.
The R 1250 RT targets touring riders who want maximum comfort and luggage capacity without the bulk of a K 1600. Wet weight is around 279 kg with an 805-825 mm seat, but the low boxer cylinders keep it manageable. Rivals are the Honda Gold Wing Tour, the discontinued Yamaha FJR1300, Kawasaki H2 SX SE and Honda NT1100. On the Dutch used market the R 1250 RT with the Touring option pack commands a clear premium.
Test the ShiftCam: cold-start ticking can indicate the known ShiftCam recall affecting 2019-2020 bikes.
Check the shaft final drive (Paralever) for oil leaks and play.
Inspect the electric screen motor and pannier latches for hesitations or failures.
Confirm completed recalls (notably fuel pump, ABS software updates) with paperwork.
Cycle through every rider aid (Dynamic ESA, ABS Pro, ACC if fitted); fault codes mean expensive modules.
