BMW Other description

1997 Bmw R1100 RT, Great Commuter! Classic RT in great Shape! - The 1997 R 1100 RT has encompassed many well performing components that work together complimenting this motorcycles overall performance. There is no hidden wiener-schnitzel dogging this bike. What do you get when you cross ZR rated tires, twin 305mm four-pot front brakes, a single-pot 276 rear brake, telelever front suspension, paralever rear and an eight valve air and oil cooled boxer engine? Ill tell you what you get, pure sport-touring joy. Cross the street to a BMW dealer and take one for a ride. Starting up this fuel-injected bike will bring forth that classic boxer twin sound, smooth and refined.

Reliability that will last today, tomorrow or come selling time. With a fit and finish that would make J.D. Power & Associates cough up the gold medals, the R 1100 RT holds tightly to the idea of quality. Tighter than any motorcycle we have tested for M.M.M. The two thumbs up reviews we give this fine slice of German stock are hedged by only a hint of Limburger &emdash the R 1100 RTs size. A Goldwing on a diet? You will need to clear extra space in the garage for this bike. Its girth will be a factor in tight spots, but the fact that this bike is partially defined by the word touring does not make this a surprise blitzkrieg. Owning an R 1100 RT will bring motorcycling to a new level of exploration. This bike has high performance capabilities that electrify the cerebellum, touring abilities that will make you look at maps of the entire continent and a perfectionist approach to quality. Your imagination is the only boundary to the p
