2001 BMW R1100RT | Church Lawton, Cheshire

A 2001 BMW R1100RT, the full-dress touring motorcycle BMW built in Berlin through the late 1990s. The model is known for its broad fairing, electric screen and 1,085cc air and oil-cooled boxer twin, with the cylinders standing out low on either side. Boxer fans rate this generation as simpler and more characterful than the 1150 that followed. This bike is red with black trim and in excellent condition. Its big fairing gives it a solid, substantial profile in shot, and the RT came with 33-litre panniers on each side, which add to the long-distance look. It carries a rider and one passenger. In film and television, that 1990s touring-bike shape suits period road scenes. Photographers can work with the twin cylinders, screen and luggage in touring-themed shoots, and the two-up equipment suits event arrivals and escorted motorcycle imagery. Weddings and personal hires can use it for a stylish arrival with a passenger. The bike is based in Stoke on Trent, Cheshire.
