BMW Motorrad Malaysia has debuted their latest generation touring motorcycle – the all-new BMW R 1250 RT. The BMW R 1250 RT will be available at all authorised BMW Motorrad dealerships nationwide starting from 1st April 2021.
Harald Hoelzl, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia said, “We are pleased to welcome yet another addition to the BMW Motorrad family. The BMW RT has always set the benchmark in this class, and the New BMW R 1250 RT will be no different, offering owners a new look, a comprehensive increase in standard equipment and numerous technical upgrades for a whole new riding experience.”
The BMW R 1250 RT is accentuated by a newly-developed front fairing with optimised aerodynamics, which also encloses the new full LED adaptive headlights with swivel function. Illumination is also offered via the LED flashing turn indicator and LED taillight. The comfort turn indicator and stylish cast aluminium wheels also arrive as standard.
The new tourer also comes complete with a luggage rack, storage compartment, centre stand, integral pannier cases in body colour, the two-tone fanfare, and an adjustable windscreen as standard. It also arrives with adjustable handbrake and clutch levers, along with heated grips.
The R 1250 RT is fitted with the legendary shaft-driven and two-cylinder boxer engine with a capacity of 1,254 cc, pushing out 100 kW / 136 hp at 7,750 rpm and 143 Nm of torque at 6,250 rpm in the current EU5 registration. Together with BMW ShiftCam technology with variable camshaft control for varying valve timing and valve lift on the intake side, the technology offers superior power across the entire speed range.

A rear suspension strut with travel-dependent damping, adjustable rear preload and rear rebound, along with the steering stabiliser are also featured in the new dynamic tourer.
The BMW Motorrad Telelever front suspension also improves riding comfort and complements the functions of the anti-lock braking system (ABS). The BMW Motorrad Paralever, on the other hand, combines a sporty design with a consistent lightweight construction to ensure extremely sensitive response characteristics for the rear wheel suspension, as well as higher ground clearance.
