Proof that a motorcycle can take you a pillion and plenty of luggage to those Alpine passes can be fun once you get there. The RRT is lighter than most full tourers of the time and superbly built too — but it's no rocket in a straight line. Dry weight is just kg — light for a full tourer. Many sources quote wet weight which makes the motorcycle sound heavy. Servo-assisted, linked, anti-lock brakes are excellent. Some surging on a steady throttle. Gearbox is pretty poor. Brakes in particular resist weather better than most rivals. Plenty of bikes rack up huge mileages — , plus without major problems. The odd electrical niggle and small areas of corrosion are not unheard of. Now only available on the used market and becoming more affordable. Glitzy main dealers tend to charge more than private sales but not always — do your research. The BMW RRT delivers superb comfort for one or two — seat and bars are adjustable at a standstill, the screen can be moved on the move with a touch of a button. Panniers are included and work pretty well.

Based, like the RRS, around a cc Boxer engine, the RT boasts extensive weather-cheating bodywork, with a large headlight that incorporates twin integral foglights. An electrically operated windscreen allows on-the-move adjustment, and optional luggage and stereo sound systems enhance long-distance pleasures. Pillion accomodation is spacious and comfortable. It had been six years since I last rode around the northern and central parts of Western Australia so when the opportunity arose to explore the area again I jumped at the chance. I was certainly going to be accommodated with more comfort this time around as the last time I was in these parts was onboard a DRSEV Suzuki. A great bike for sure, but far from the perfect mount for covering huge distances. I flew into Broome on a pleasant but slightly brisk Wednesday morning at around am.
