BMW R1200RT - Moto Rentals

The sport-touring term is too often misused. In reality, it represents a motorcycle that is capable of carrying people and luggage over very long distances, with relative comfort, yet hug the road with the precision of a sport bike. Motorcycles that combine effectively both requirements are very rare, and the R1200RT, offered by BMW, is undoubtedly one of the best of this rare breed.
