Introduced for 1996, the R1100RT was the tourer model in a range that also included the R1100R, R1100GS and R1100RS, all of which used basically the same engine but in different states of tune, as well as different bodywork and chassis details. Enlarged from its R100RT predecessor's 971cc to 1, 085cc, the R1100RT's engine was significantly more powerful, putting out 90bhp to the R100RT's 60 horsepower. Somewhat unusually, the fuel-injected eight-valve engine retained air-cooled cylinders but had oil-cooled heads, the latters valves operated via short pushrods by chain-driven camshafts. On the chassis side, the R1100RT used the engine as a stressed member and featured BMWs well-established Telelever front suspension, a Paralever single-sided swinging arm and, of course, shaft final drive. Other noteworthy features of this peerless mile-muncher included ABS, a five-speed gearbox, twin four-*** front brake calipers, a 25. 2-litre (5. 5-gallon) fuel tank, and a generously sized touring fairing.
This R1100RT's HPI report notes five former keepers; more than one change of registration number (originally 'J2 MEW'); and a change of colour from blue to silver. The current registered keeper has owned the BMW since June 2022, and the current odometer reading is 60, 092 miles. No previous history is known. The Beemer is MoT'd to 2027 and we're advised by the vendor that it is running and riding. Offered with a V5C.
£800 - 1, 200
