R 1250 RT-P

UNCOMPROMISING PERFORMANCE

The BMW R 1250 RT-P is a true all-round performer which excels in every mission. Whether it's patrolling freeways or city streets, the maneuverability and long-distance comfort makes this top-class police motorcycle a workstation for those with high demands.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN

A relaxed, safe ride with outstanding comfort, powerful potential and precise handling: the BMW R 1250 RT-P has been a symbol of these virtues for more than three decades.

The latest version of the BMW R 1250 RT-P with extensive equipment components and low fuel consumption sets the benchmark even higher when it comes to supremacy, agility, ergonomics, power and dynamics.

The R 1250 RT-P

Your Best Long-Term Value!

No police motor sold today has a higher level of
standard equipment than the BMW … you have told us
what you use and need … and BMW supplies it!

BMW Police Motors are being utilized by more than 550
agencies in the US, including the three largest US fleets operated by the California Highway Patrol, Los Angeles
Police Department and Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.

The high level of standard and available equipment means significantly lower up-fitting costs as well as greater utilization and reliability for your agency. Look carefully at what features you specify in your RFQ’s when comparing price and value.

The R 1250 RT-P
Emergency Lighting

The R 1250 RT-P provides the most modern,
integrated lighting system available on a police
motor. The auxiliary rear emergency light unit
provides high-intensity visibility in all situations, plus provides additional benefit if the radio box lid is
opened during the violator stop.

The BMW emergency lighting system provides:

• Four times the forward intensity of the prior
model
• Focused lighting to cover primary danger zones
where motorists are likely to turn left or pull-out
in your path
• High intensity take-down lights and alley lights
• Alternating wig-wag functionality to maximize
visibility
• Optimally grounded radio antenna mounting
bracket (standard equipment), which is suitable
for any radio frequency from 40 MHz to 800+ MHz.

Rear Light Module

Integration is further enhanced with the rear light module, which combines all of the lighting system components previously mounted on the rear of the police motor together in an easily-accessible controller module.

• Rear and rear-side facing emergency lights provide greater intensity than the previous double-stacked units.
• New high-mount rear-facing auxiliary brake & tail lights enhance visibility for approaching vehicles. • Side-facing auxiliary turn signals add visibility when changing lanes while passing vehicles. • Fully-integrated rear ID lights in blue or red keep license plate area uncluttered. • Motion activated saddlebag lights provide visibility in bags at night / low light environments.

Saddlebag illumination is another feature for
the R 1250 RT-P. Two LEDs are precisely
focused to illuminate the inside of the police
saddlebag. Actuation is simple … wave your
hand by the light and a proximity sensor will
turn-on both saddlebag lights for 15 seconds,
then automatically turn them off! If you need
the light for a longer period, wave your hand
again and you get another 15 seconds of
illumination. A cool yet extremely practical
feature when loading / unloading at night, in
low light conditions, parking garages, etc.

Handlebar Switch Assemblies
• Emergency light & siren switch has been
relocated for optimal access. A touch of the
switch activates lighting and siren system.
• Emergency lights now offer two program pattern
switching modes.
• Siren has been programmed for quick switch
response for “chirp” activation as well as wail,
yelp, hyper-yelp and air horn.
• Radio speaker mute switch function now
standard.

Full Color TFT Dashboard
Full-color TFT dashboard provides a wealth of
information to rider via the thumb-wheel control.

Dashboard angle is adjustable to eliminate glare
for officers of any height.

Integrated radio head and map light mounting is
standard equipment on the new R 1250 RT-P,
thereby facilitating quick yet secure installation
of the radio control head. Combined with the
standard radio antenna mounting at the rear, the
RT-P is ready for any police radio installation
without purchasing extra mounts. The mounting
will also facilitate the tandem mounting of a
police video system display / control head while
retaining easy access to the ignition switch.

Shift Cam Technology

The new BMW Shift Cam technology enables variation of
the valve timing and valve stroke on the intake side. In addition, the intake camshafts are designed for
asynchronous opening of the two intake valves, resulting in enhanced swirling of the fresh incoming air-fuel
mixture, and, therefore, more effective combustion. Other technical changes to the engine relate to the camshaft
drive – now with a toothed chain (previously a roller
chain) – an optimized oil supply, twin-jet injection valves and a new exhaust system.

• New level of power and torque
• Improved performance
• Increased smoothness
• Reduced emissions
• Increased fuel economy
• Robust exhaust note
• Increased performance in lower power
band

Advanced Electrical System

The R 1250 RT-P sets the standard for
electrical power management while providing
fast and efficient connection of police
equipment. The GMSF (Body Controller
authority) controls all special authority circuit
outputs and charging of the auxiliary battery.

There is no need for fuses, the GMSF monitors
and protects outputs, controlling circuits for all
police accessories:
• Gun Lock (6A)
• Radio (15A)
• Auxiliary LED Emergency Lights
• LED Flasher Connection (10A + 6A)
• Helmet Headset Interface (2A)
• Lighter Socket (6A)
• Accessory I (2A)
• Accessory II (2A)
• Accessory III (2A)
• Fairing Radio Speakers
• Radar Connection (6A)

The radio box on the R 1250 RT-P features an
electronic release, eliminating the need for a key to
open the box. The Body Controller authority and
auxiliary battery are located under the radio box for
optimal protection and interference suppression
(average police radio chassis illustrated in radio
box). The GMSF controls all accessory outputs
and limits the time each output is powered after
ignition-off. When each output is switched off, no
parasitic loads are possible. The GMSF also
monitors battery condition and systematically shuts-
down accessory outputs to ensure the auxiliary
battery cannot be flattened / damaged. At an
average of $1.50 a minute, installation labor for
radios and accessories can be greatly reduced
which significantly lowers your overall police motor
preparation costs.

Optional Value from BMW R 1250 RT-P Motors:

BMW provides the most comprehensive assortment of options specifically designed for BMW motors, from simple map lights to electric locking assault rifle mounts. BMW designs these options to enable agencies to professionally mount the specialized equipment that we know you need and use, enabling everything to work properly. Additionally, these specially designed mounts greatly reduce the installation time over “universal” mounts (universal means it doesn’t fit anything properly), making the final package more affordable. All options are warranted by BMW to fit and function properly! A detailed listing of available options is in this information sheet.

Many recent entrants to the police motor arena have made claims of being much less expensive, but when the bidding is over and the dust settles, those motors are usually similar in price or even more expensive than the BMW with far less standard equipment and higher operating costs! Don’t be fooled by the newcomers!

Factory and Dealer added options available at additional cost:

• Adaptive Headlight
• Keyless Ride
• Gear Shift Assist Pro – enables up and down shifting without clutch once motor is moving in 1st gear • Chrome Exhaust – beautify your ride
• Additional Fog Lights – provides low level lighting for fog / alternatively flashes with headlight flasher during daytime operation of emergency lights
• PA Microphone
• High Seat Heated – no charge high seat option
• Low Seat Heated – no charge low seat option

How Important is Fuel Economy?

The long-term operational fuel cost for
motors is an item seldom noted in most
bids. BMW has recognized that most
agencies have 87 AKI fuel in agency
pumps at a cost substantially less than fuel
motors purchase on the street.

BMW has tuned the engine on the MY17→
R 1250 RT-P to operate on fuel with octane
rates as low as 87 AKI, which provides
tremendous savings to agencies over
purchasing premium fuel at local gas
stations. The chart on the right illustrates
the potential cost savings.

Often, motor purchases are decided with
minimal differences in price without
consideration to the effect of operational
cost, yet these costs can dwarf the
variance between competing bids. Fuel
cost is one more reason why BMW Police
Motors are the best long-term
value for your agency.
