BMW R1150RT Motorcycle - Street (2001-2005)

The BMW R1150RT, produced from 2001 to 2005, is a renowned touring and sport touring motorcycle. Succeeding the R1100RT, it features a robust 1,130 cc air/oil-cooled flat-twin "boxer" engine, delivering approximately 94 to 95 horsepower and 98 to 100 N·m of torque. This model is equipped with a six-speed gearbox and shaft drive, offering a smooth and reliable ride for long distances. It was primarily offered as a single, well-equipped touring model, including standard features like linked ABS, panniers, an electronically adjustable screen, and a center stand. A notable update occurred during its production run. From 2004 onwards (with some earlier 2002 or 2003 models also receiving it), BMW introduced a dual ignition system, featuring two spark plugs per cylinder. This enhancement aimed to improve cold starting performance and mitigate partial throttle surging. Apart from this specific engine refinement, the R1150RT largely maintained its core technical, visual, and performance characteristics throughout its 2001-2005 production. FAQ:
