BMW’s R1250RT has been an MCN Award winner for the past gazillion years, but it’s finally been knocked off its perch… by its replacement: the 2025 R1300RT

excellent small machine with tough proven motor albeit injected these days . quite rare to find a good un but miles better than a 125 YBR or an old 250 superdream . Super commuter and not bad for long trips to boot , easy enough to keep up with traffic flow .

I've had this model for about a year now, bought it as my first bike, and I would definetely recommend it for people who are just beginning their journey in the motorcycle-riding business. It has plenty of torque and acceleration, however it lets you off the hook if you misjudge the amount of...

Favorite bike

Generally reliable although I had a breakdown due to the coolant temperature sensor breaking. This sent the bikes RPM’s sky high and was unsafe to ride so had to get a tow. Consistent issue with the steering head bearings needing adjustment which became a long term grumble on this bike and...
