1995 BMW R 100 RT

1995 marks the final year for the BMW R 100 RT, closing out the boxer-twin touring line before BMW moved on to the oil-head generation. This is a full-dress touring machine built around that low-slung, torque-heavy air-cooled twin, and it rewards the kind of riding where you're settling in for hours rather than chasing apexes. The shaft drive and low seat height make it approachable at stops and predictable at speed, and the fairing does real work cutting wind fatigue on long hauls. Owners tend to describe it less as exciting and more as reassuring, which is exactly the point of a touring bike from this era. The 1995 model carried over without significant mechanical changes from the prior year, buyers comparing it to a 1994 example should focus on mileage, service history, and condition rather than spec differences. This bike attracts riders who already know the boxer platform and want the last and most refined version of it, often stepping away from modern touring bikes loaded with electronics. There's a growing collector interest tied to its status as the last air-cooled RT, but most buyers still treat the 1995 BMW R 100 RT as a rider first and a collectible second.
