Review
The 2014 BMW 1200 RT LE (Luxury Edition) stands as a well-equipped touring motorcycle designed for comfort and performance. It's powered by an 1170cc boxer engine, producing 125 horsepower at 7750 rpm and 125 Nm of torque at 6500 rpm, ensuring ample power for long rides and effortless overtaking. The six-speed gearbox provides smooth and precise gear changes, complementing the engine's flexible character. Ergonomics are a key focus, with an adjustable seat height of 805mm to accommodate various riders. The Telelever front suspension enhances stability and reduces brake dive, while the double-disc brakes with four-piston calipers deliver strong and consistent stopping power. With a 25-liter fuel tank, the RT LE is well-suited for extended journeys without frequent refueling. Weighing 233.2 kg, the bike maintains a planted feel on the road. The 1200 RT LE is aimed at riders who demand a high level of comfort, convenience, and performance in a touring machine. It's ideal for long-distance touring, offering a blend of power, stability, and rider-friendly features, with a top speed of around 201.2 km/h.
