2024 BMW R 1250 RT-P Night Black

THE BMW R 1250 RT-P (Authority Bike)

This is a Police Motorcycle (or Authority BIke), a special version of the R 1250 RT designed primarily for use by police departments. It has all the great performance and comfort of a normal R 1250 RT (see below) – PLUS  many special features and cool extras that make it an ideal vehicle for the dedicated SOLO rider, not to mention how it stands out from the crowd. Please see the OPTIONS tab to find out what Special Equipment and other Factory Options are included with this bike.

It is rare that a BMW R 1250 RT-P is available for civilian purchase! They are produced in limited numbers according to pre-orders from Authority Departments around the country and not usually sold to the public. Only in the unlikely event of an order cancellation or production overrun does an RT-P become available at a normal BMW dealership. This is one such case. These are uncommon and highly sought-after motorcycles. If you would like to get your hands on this one, you should act FAST! 

Following is a description of the standard 2024 BMW R 1250 RT:

A POWERFUL MACHINE … so you arrive relaxed at your destination

The R 1250 RT is the perfect companion for your tour: Its legendary BMW ShiftCam Boxer engine pulls just as powerfully over country roads as it does over winding mountain passes. Its updated front end makes it look more dynamic and slimmer. On the other hand, there is a wide range of features such as the extra-large 10.25" TFT display or available Active Cruise Control (ACC) - providing extra comfort on your journey. And at the end of the day, you know that there’s nothing like shared experiences and a perfect companion. A fully fledged #RideAndShare. 

Tours with built-in highlights

Being on the road, eating up the miles, meeting people, new experiences, exchanging stories: Every tour has highlights. Just like the R 1250 RT. Its many features allow you to ride comfortably, you are always well prepared and can focus entirely on your trip.

• Large standard 10.25" TFT color display — The large and easy-to-read 10.25" TFT screen with full HD resolution is both an instrument cluster and on-board computer. On it, you’ll find full instrumentation as well as navigation and media.
• New front with LED headlights — Great new look and better vision: The new front end with LED headlights, as standard, emphasize the dynamic lines of the R 1250 RT even more, while the lower body height increases your field of view.
• Full power in every speed range with BMW ShiftCam — The BMW ShiftCam variable camshaft control system delivers outstanding performance and – especially in the lower engine speed range – harmonious running,  control and power. 
• Continuous power thanks to wireless charging — Protected against splashing water, your smartphone charges by induction or USB in the handy storage compartment – and you can use the navigator, use the phone and listen to music at the same time.
• Simple operation with favorites button — Four programmable buttons give you quick access to functions such as navigation or seat heating. You can easily switch while driving – your attention stays on the road.
• Navigation on the 10.25" TFT screen — Know where you want to go? So does the R 1250 RT. And without an additional navigation device. Thanks to the BMW Motorrad Connected App and the interactive map view on the 10.25" TFT display, you’ll be sure to reach the next leg of the tour unhindered.
• Smooth travels with available Active Cruise Control — Three letters, a big boost to comfort: With the new ACC, your bike automatically maintains your desired speed and, via a radar sensor, to maintain distance from the vehicle in front. (read more below)
• New audio system with a strong sound* — The right sound accompaniment to your tour: The new and stronger amplifier provides rich sound. You can listen to radio or music from your smartphone and control it conveniently via the Multi-Controller.

Maximum vision

More space, more clarity, more visibility: The new, large 10.25" TFT screen combines all the instruments of the R 1250 RT, plus practical functions such as the navigator and connectivity. The split screen gives you an overview of several functions at the same time, such as displaying the on-board computer in addition to the current speed. The color display is given extra sharpness and contrast by the robust, tempered and non-reflective glass cover. Your screen is easy to read even in the midday sun and, thanks to the anti-fingerprint coating, it stays that way.

Getting places confidently

Carefree riding pleasure: The newly-available Active Cruise Control (ACC) driving assistance system lets you set the desired speed and the distance to the vehicle in front conveniently by pressing a button on the handlebars. A radar sensor at the front determines the vehicle speed and the distance to the vehicle ahead. If this distance is reduced, the system automatically reduces the speed and re-establishes the selected distance. If the distance is increased, the vehicle will increase speed and resume the speed setting. This way, you can enjoy a relaxed journey over every mile.

EVERY BLINK OF AN EYE COUNTS … One bike, many styles

Dynamic lines, impressive design: The R 1250 RT impresses with its athletic form, sometimes sporty, sometimes elegant. You decide what style and COLOR is best suited to you.

• Alpine White 3 — Light and linear: Alpine White 3 underscores the new, slimmer front of the R 1250 RT.
• Sport — Pure sporty character: paint in Racing Blue Metallic 2 lends the R 1250 RT a dynamic finish. 
• Opt. 719 Meteoric II — The sky is the limit – riding on the R 1250 RT Opt. 719 Meteoric II Dust Metallic. If there were a design for the highest demands – it would be this one.
• Triple Black — The Style Triple Black in Black Storm Metallic 2 impressively emphasizes the powerful and dynamic lines of the R 1250 RT.
