2007 BMW R 1200 RT Police Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in BMW's touring motorcycle lineup, the 2007 BMW R 1200 RT Police pairs a 1170 cc (71.4 cu in) oil & air-cooled two cylinder boxer, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 110 HP (80.3 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 115.3 Nm (85 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 94 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the R 1200 RT Police measures 259 kg (571 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.42 HP/kg (2.35 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 818 mm (32.2 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,483 mm (58.4 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 27-liter (7.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
