Reseña de un comprador usado
"The best used touring motorcycle money can buy if inspected properly."
$11,000-$18,000 usedThe R 1250 RT is BMW's touring flagship done properly, and buying used makes serious sense here. The ShiftCam engine transformation over the 1200 is real — smoother, stronger pull from idle, noticeably better highway cruising. Look for 2019-onwards if you can, as early units had some throttle-by-wire gremlins that BMW sorted quietly. Check the service history obsessively; these need dealer attention and skipped maintenance shows up fast in the electronics. Tire wear tells you everything about a previous owner's habits. Where it earns its money is covering ground effortlessly. Wind protection is genuinely class-leading, the heated everything works, and the optional dynamic ESA suspension transforms the bike on bad roads. Downsides are real though — it's heavy at 279kg wet, urban riding is a chore, and used examples with high miles often have worn final drive splines that cost serious money to address. Budget £500-800 for a thorough inspection before committing.
