La BMW R 1200 RT se presentó en 2005 como sucesora de la R 1150 RT, con el icónico motor bimotor bóxer refrigerado por aire y aceite de BMW y diseñada como una motocicleta deportiva de turismo de primera calidad. En 2014 se llevó a cabo una importante actualización con un nuevo motor bóxer refrigerado por agua (a pesar de conservar los elementos de diseño refrigerados por aire), una electrónica mejorada y unas ayudas a la conducción mejoradas, como el sistema ESA dinámico y el ABS en curvas. Se convirtió en una de las motocicletas de turismo más vendidas en Europa, famosa por su comodidad, estabilidad y tecnología avanzada en las largas distancias.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Watch the Camshaft Chain
Pre-2013 models with the air-cooled boxer engine are known for camshaft chain tensioner wear, which can lead to costly repairs if ignored. Always check service history and listen for rattling on cold starts.
Strong Resale Value
The R 1200 RT holds its value exceptionally well compared to competitors, often retaining 60-70% of its value after three years. Low mileage, well-maintained examples command premium prices in the used market.
Integrated ESA Suspension
Models equipped with Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA) allow riders to tune damping on the fly for solo or two-up riding, a rare feature in its class. However, ESA components can be expensive to repair if they fail.

"La gemela de turismo de referencia que se ganó su reputación honestamente."
Realicé 40 000 km en una RT 2007 durante tres años, incluidas dos rutas alpinas y una carrera por los Balcanes, y esta bicicleta cambió realmente mi forma de pensar sobre la conducción de larga distancia. La bici bóxer arranca con fuerza a partir de las 2.500 rpm, esa cifra de par no es un número, sino una sensación física al pisar el acelerador en una curva de montaña con equipaje a bordo. La protección contra el viento gracias a la pantalla ajustable eléctricamente es realmente la mejor de su clase, aunque el mecanismo de la pantalla empezó a crujir en el segundo año y la parte inferior del carenado atrapa el calor en las espinillas durante el tráfico. Los 279 kg son reales y se sienten desde el momento en que los empujan desde la grada lateral en un aparcamiento estrecho, pero una vez que rueda, soporta su peso mejor que casi cualquier otro vehículo del segmento de turismo.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"The definitive used sport-tourer if you can afford the upkeep."
$9,000-$18,000 usedThe R1200RT is genuinely one of the best long-distance bikes ever built, and buying one used makes enormous sense — BMW built these things to last, and a well-maintained example with 60,000 miles on it will still feel tighter than a neglected one at 20k. The water-cooled boxer (2014 onwards) is the sweet spot — more power, better fuel economy, and those heated grips and ESA suspension aren't just gadgets, they're genuinely transformative on a 400-mile day. Previous owners tend to be older, careful riders who serviced them properly, so the used market is actually pretty decent. That said, do your homework. Check the final drive for play, inspect the shaft for leaks, and budget for valve checks — they're not cheap but absolutely necessary. The infotainment system on earlier water-cooled models feels dated now, and the bike's sheer size catches people off guard until they get the weight moving. Get one with panniers already fitted; buying them separately will hurt.
