The BMW R1150RT is a touring or sport touring motorcycle that was manufactured from 2001 to 2005 by BMW Motorrad to replace the R1100RT model. It featured a 1,130 cc (69 cu in) flat-twin engine with a six-speed gearbox and shaft drive.
It was an evolution of the R1100RT, featuring an air and oil-cooled (or "oilhead") engine. The R1150RT was based on the same basic platform with increased engine capacity and horsepower, fully linked power-assisted ABS brakes, revised front lighting system, and a six-speed gearbox.[1] This model was further updated in 2004 by the adoption of dual ignition, with two spark plugs per cylinder.
R1150RT-P
[edit]
An authorities model, the R1150RT-P, was also available, and featured a single seat, dual batteries, lights and sirens, crash bars, and a radio top box. The ABS was modified to allow for linked braking only from the front brake, so that the rear brake could be used for trail braking.
