Along with the new RS, aimed at “sporty” sport touring, BMW has also launched the new R 1300 RT, its, uh, “toury” sport touring model.
The RT has more bodywork than the RS, and a different suspension; both work together to not only offer more road comfort, but also boost the MSRP over the RS. The machines share the same engine and much of the same electronics package, though, and many chassis components are very similar.
Because of the RT’s lux packaging, its accessories differ somewhat from the RS. Here’s a look at some of what you can add on; these are split into packages related to the trim level you buy, as well as individual options that can be added to any specific bike.

Gearshift Assist Pro or Automatic Shift Assistant, Ride Modes Pro, DCA Dynamic Chassis Adaption, Riding Assistant, Sport Brake, Central Locking, Anti-Theft Alarm, Centerstand, Variable Luggage System, Headlight Pro, Audio System, LED Auxiliary Lights, Comfort Rider’s Seat, Comfort Passenger’s Seat.
