(prHWY.com) November 8, 2010 - Queensland, Australia -- In 2005 and 2006, Motorcyclist Magazine named BMW R1200RT the best touring bike in the world. With BMW distinction, the R1200RT-P was produced - it's often called "The Authority" - and it went into service with police departments around the world. And so the world's best touring bike morphed into the super cop bike that's facilitated the capture of bulk revenue in the last few years, hopefully none from you.
A quest to find a good ride revealed one in Brisbane Queensland. Its police service commenced in January 2007 and it was de-commissioned in December 2009. Its work was undertaken around Childers Qld. The second owner has ridden it for 3000 k's. He said, "I can't fault it. It's fast, smooth, reliable, comfortable and manoeuvrable - its turning circle is phenomenal. Class all the way. As much as I'd like to keep it, my woman said, 'No. How many rides do you need?' She wins - I'm reluctantly letting it go. It comes with a full service history, and it's freshly serviced by Morgan & Whacker, Brisbane. It deserves a good home."
There's a lot to be said for latching onto the bike you've always wanted. This bike is a commuter's dream - the
R1200RT. It's excellent around town and superb on any highway. With an electric windscreen that creates a fantastic environment for radio, with heated grips, tank bag, surprisingly hungry panniers, and two batteries to power all accessories, it's the ideal bike for regular travel between say, Brisbane and the coast, and anywhere beyond.
And you could comfortably ride around Australia, leaving at a moment's notice.
You recognise quality when you're riding it. The
BMW R1200RT-P is probably the best bike you've ridden.
