When you are used to riding a motorcycle that delivers maximum comfort, incredible dynamic performance, state-of-the-art technology and the ultimate touring experience, and it’s time for an update, you stick to what you know. That’s why our Procycles BMW Sydney customer Norbert decided trade his BMW R1250 RT on the latest model R1300 RT Impulse, fitted with the amazing Automated Manual Transmission gearbox.
For such a big motorcycle, Norbert’s new 1300 RT delivers powerful, pure acceleration. With 145 hp and 110 lb-ft of torque, he can get to 100 klms per hour in approximately 3.7 seconds. The Impulse variant comes in Metallic blue with the dark chrome exhaust, forged handlebars, variable wind deflectors, and a brushed aluminum fuel tank.
Other options include BMW’s Riding Assistant, which adds radar for Active Cruise Control, as well as Front Collision Warning, Rear End Collision Warning, and Lane Change Warning systems. The vast array of options also includes audio packages, a variety of different heated seats, and the ability to bolster the bike’s trio of riding modes with an additional two settings by selecting the Riding Modes Pro Package. BMW’s Automated manual transmission, replaces the clutch with two computer-operated electromechanical actuators. There’s a fully automatic “D” mode and a manual-shift “M” setting, which lets you change gear using a familiar-feeling foot shifter, even though it’s connected only electronically to the transmission.
