R1250RT

1254cc boxer twin 134bhp and 105.4ftlb 279kg (kerb) £14,415

The RT gets incrementally better again this year with the same 1250 ShiftCam engine that has crept its way through the entire R model range, and that’s bolstered by the addition of the latest Dynamic ESA semi-active suspension. Electronics updates include ABS Pro as standard and a new 5.9in full-colour TFT dash, flanked by an analogue speedo and tacho. The fairing has had a few tweaks, too, with a new spoiler at the front of the engine between the headers. There are also some pretty garish ‘Option 719’ finishes available.

It looks almost identical, but boasts more power and torque
