Per VINdown's modeling, the BMW R1250RT retains an estimated 75% of its value after five years, ranking #191 of 1052 powersports vehicles we track. That is 12 points above the 63% five-year average for Standard in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the BMW R1250RT sheds about 5% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $19,995 it falls to around $14,916 by year five — a five-year loss near $5,079, about $2.78 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used BMW R1250RT bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
