BMW's R1300RT touring flagship is introduced to Japan's import bike market at 3,691,000 yen including tax. Its air/water-cooled 1300cc boxer engine makes 145 hp at 7,750 rpm and 149 Nm of torque, paired with the DCA dynamic chassis control system that tunes suspension for load and road surface, plus an optional ASA automatic shift assistant.

Looking at the spec sheet, 145 hp at 7,750 rpm and 149 Nm is a serious number for a boxer tourer. Add DCA, which auto-tunes suspension for load and road surface, and the equipment density blows past the old model — I'm getting genuinely worked up about it. That said, 3,691,000 yen isn't cheap for an import tourer, so go in with that expectation.

BMW's boxer twins are still rock-solid as ever.

145 hp and 149 Nm is plenty for a boxer engine.

The auto-shift ASA probably feels weird until you adjust to it.

That DCA system has my attention, want to try it touring.

3.69 million yen is steep for a tourer, but the spec justifies it.
