t takes a pretty special machine to unseat the BMW K1600GT as Cycle World’s best sport-touring bike, but that’s exactly what the new wasserboxer-powered BMW R1200RT is. It’s not just the fact that the RT uses a flat-twin, BMW’s
spiritual core, but also that this swift and comfortable machine is
about 130 pounds lighter than its six-cylinder sibling, which makes it
easier to maneuver in your garage or on Mulholland. Yet the R1200RT,
with its saddlebags, optional top case, and excellent fairing, is still
very much a great long-distance pack mule, boasting electronic ride
modes and Dynamic ESA semi-active suspension that adapt the bike to any
condition. Score one for the purists.
