Vehicle Overview

The 2001 BMW R 1150 RT is a purpose-built road touring motorcycle with the equipment and proportions to make extended rides more comfortable. Its full fairing provides a substantial barrier against wind and weather, while the upright touring position and supportive seating are suited to spending long periods in the saddle. The result is a motorcycle with a clear touring focus that can also serve as a practical road bike for shorter everyday trips.

At its centre is BMW's horizontally opposed boxer twin, listed here with 1,130 cc of capacity, four-stroke operation and overhead valves. The flat-twin layout is a defining part of the R 1150 RT's character, while electronic fuel injection supports a smooth and consistent delivery. The available description highlights useful low- and mid-range torque, an appealing attribute for making steady progress through traffic, along winding roads or on open highways.

A six-speed manual transmission gives the rider a broad spread of ratios for varied road conditions. Power is transmitted through a shaft final drive rather than a chain, a configuration that suits the motorcycle's touring brief by keeping the rear-drive system enclosed and reducing the routine maintenance associated with chain adjustment and lubrication. The single-sided swingarm incorporates the drive shaft and contributes to the distinctive engineering package.

Long-distance usability is further supported by the adjustable windscreen, integrated fairing and bodywork, adjustable mirrors and generous luggage capability described for the model. These features work together to make the motorcycle better suited to carrying the practical essentials of a longer outing while helping the rider maintain a clear view and a more sheltered riding position. A centre stand is also listed, adding convenience when parking or carrying out routine checks.

The R 1150 RT has travelled 76,975 km and is presented as a used, non-registered motorcycle. It is classified as a Road bike and is not learner approved. The listed rider capacity is two, allowing the layout to accommodate a pillion as well as the rider.
