Optional extras and special equipment.

BMW Motorrad’s usual wide range of optional extras and special equipment tailored specifically to the R 1200 RT and, of course, the customer’s requirements, ensures further customisation in every respect. Optional extras come straight from the plant and are integrated in the actual production of the motorcycle on the assembly line in Berlin. Special equipment, in turn, is fitted by the BMW motorcycle dealer either from the start or, at the rider’s request, at any later point in time.

Optional extras.

  • Low rider seat.
  • Seat heating.
  • Heated handles.
  • Additional power socket.
  • Radio preparation kit.
  • Radio with CD player.
  • On-board computer with oil level warning unit.
  • Cruise control.
  • Anti-theft warning system.
  • ESA Electronic Suspension Adjustment.
  • Direction indicators in white.
  • Exhaust system chrome plated.
  • Seats in Grey or Black.
  • Engine spoiler in Slate Dark Metallic Matt or White Aluminium Metallic matt.

On-board computer.

The on-board computer offers additional display functions over and above the standard info-flatscreen display, presenting the outside temperature, a black ice warning signal, average fuel consumption, average speed, and an oil level warning. With the oil level being measured at regular intervals, the rider receives a warning requesting him to check the oil level as soon as it drops below a certain mark.

Anti-theft warning system.

Should the position of the R 1200 RT while parked be changed or shifted around, manipulated or jolted, the anti-theft warning system will immediately actuate both an optical and an acoustic signal. Wherever appropriate, it can then be deactivated by the authorised rider either by remote control or with the key to the motorcycle.

Topcase.

The topcase comes in two different sizes, the large version offering a capacity of 49 litres for two helmets and featuring a backrest unit as standard. The small topcase, in turn, offers a capacity of 28 litres for one helmet and is available with an optional backrest. On request, both variants of the topcase come with one key for the cases and motorcycle locks and can be connected single-handedly to the luggage rack, without requiring an adapter plate.

Tankbag.

The watertight main compartment in the tankbag comes with a capacity of approximately 13 litres and may be enlarged to 19 litres. Beneath the map folder there is an additional pocket for small odds and ends such as your keys, purse, sunglasses, etc. The inner bag section serves again to keep out water, making an additional cover superfluous even in heavy rain. The map section is also watertight, and the tankbag fits easily on to the tank railing featured as standard, requiring the rider to use only one hand in the process.

BMW Motorrad Navigator II.

Reading a map was yesterday. Today all the rider has to do is pick an address, a city, a special sight or a particular spot on the way, and BMW Motorrad Navigator II will take him to his destination safe and sound, providing detailed instructions as he proceeds. In the process Navigator II offers three options for reaching your destination: the fastest route, the shortest, or, as far as possible, the “straight” route “as the crow flies”.

Map presentation is also variable, offering the choice of a map alone, a combination of map and instructions, a roadbook and a compass function showing the rider the distance and direction to his next point on the way. A zoom function, finally, ensures quick and convenient orientation at road junctions, with optional voice messages in nine languages transmitted via the helmet.
