What kind of brakes does the BMW R1150RT have?
The R1150RT comes with standard brakes that are themselves revolutionary. The RT has the world’s first power-assisted brakes ever put on a motorcycle. When you activate these brakes, you stop— now! Moreover, they are fully integrated. That is, both brakes are applied fully using eitherthe front brake lever or the rear brake pedal, or both.
Which is the successor to the BMW R1150RT?
Late in 2004, BMW introduced the successor model to the R1150RT. It is the 2005-2006 R1200RT(photo above). It offers lighter weight, more power and torque, cruise control, and some other amenities. Its design is a radical departure from previous RT models.
When did the BMW R1150RT twin spark heads come out?
Well, Norm Benedum of Wisconsin did. Here his 2004 RT is parked in 2010 along the Dalton Highway at the Arctic Circle as Norm was heading north. For the 2004 model year, BMW introduced on the R1150RT “Twin Spark”heads — two spark plugs per cylinder to eliminate surging some owners experienced and improve exhaust emissions.
How tall is a BMW R1150RT in meters?
Strangely, southern California “moto-magazines” have posted some pretty unimpressive stopping distances for this motorcycle — from 60 MPH-to-0 (97 km/h-to-0) in 123’ (37.5 meters) by Motorcycle Consumer Newsand in 127’ (38.7 meters) by Cycle World. In my own trial I stopped the R1150RT in 105’ (32 meters).
