Review
The 2007 BMW R 1200 RT Police edition shares the core characteristics of the standard RT, but with adaptations for law enforcement use. It features the same 1170cc boxer engine, producing 110 horsepower and 115.3 Nm of torque at 6000 rpm, ensuring reliable performance for patrol duties. The six-speed gearbox provides smooth and precise gear changes. However, the Police version tips the scales at a heavier 259 kg due to added equipment. Ergonomically, the seat height is set at 818mm. The BMW Telelever front suspension maintains stability and control, crucial for navigating various road conditions. Braking is enhanced with BMW EVO partial integral ABS system, featuring dual disc brakes with four-piston fixed calipers, providing responsive and safe stopping power. The 27-liter fuel tank offers extended range for uninterrupted patrols. Targeted at law enforcement agencies, this motorcycle is designed for reliability, comfort, and effective performance in demanding operational environments. It offers a robust platform for police work, combining the touring capabilities of the RT with specialized equipment for patrol and enforcement activities. The bike balances performance with the practical requirements of police work.
