BMW's full-dress sports-tourer with ASA. Boxer torque, big weather protection and the electronics handling gear changes over big distances.
Big, planted and beautifully refined, the RT wafts along on boxer torque with outstanding wind protection. It's a long-distance luxury liner that still handles tidily.
ASA brings clutchless shifting to the touring experience — ideal for relaxing the left hand over hundreds of miles, with full manual control available whenever you want it.
Loaded with comfort and safety tech, but heavy and expensive. For high-mileage tourers who want a clutch-free premium machine, very little else competes.
A supremely comfortable, tech-rich tourer made even more relaxing by clutchless ASA. The premium European answer to the Gold Wing question.
