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.[1]
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.[2]
Cycle World's 2001 review focused heavily on the new ABS system, pointing out that it was both effective but also quite intrusive, especially to riders that were used to trail-braking with the rear brake. Overall their view of the bike was positive.[3] Motorcycle News' 2014 review was much more positive about the brakes, rating them as excellent.[2]
R1150RT-P
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.[4]
The last of the Australian Military Police R1150RT-Ps was auctioned off in June, 2016.[5]
