BMW's premium touring bikes are becoming surprisingly affordable on the used market. The R1200RT (1,170cc, 125 hp) averages about $7,500, with some examples under $3,000, while the R1250RT (1,254cc, 136 hp), introduced in 2019, runs $13,000 to $16,000 for 2019-2022 model years.
For $13,000 to $16,000 you can get an R1250RT — and just thinking about it makes me want to spread out a map and figure out where to ride next. 136 horsepower, shaft drive, integrated luggage — that combo is honestly hard to beat for long-distance riding. Just don't get so excited about the price that you skip checking the maintenance history.

Buying cheap with no service records just costs more later—I'd pay a bit more for full history
1250s hitting 136hp is a real step up, but 2019-22 models still run $13k-16k so not cheap yet
If the 1250 is still $13k+, why not just get the $7,500 1200 instead?
A 125hp big tourer at this price is basically a dream for touring riders
Great for touring, but boxer engine upkeep isn't cheap—judge by sticker price alone and you'll regret it
Avg $7,500 for an R1200RT is honestly cheap, and some go under $3k too
Sub-$3k RTs probably have a sketchy history, gotta check before you get burned
