BMW Motorcycles and Sirius XM Radio have inked a deal that will put Sirius satellite radio on new radio-equipped Model Year 2011 R 1200 RT, K 1600 GT, and K 1600 GTL Touring Motorcycles starting with January production.  

BMW Motorcycle says it will include an introductory one-year subscription to the "Sirius Everything" with 135 channels with the purchase of every new radio-equipped RT, GT and GTL Touring Motorcycles.

Like its motorcycle cousin, Mini has also signed a deal with Sirius that means Mini will also Sirius as standard equipment on new Model Year 2011 MINI vehicles.

Mini will also include an introductory one-year subscription to the "SIRIUS Everything" package with the purchase of every new 2011 Mini vehicle.

Said Jim McDowell, VP, Mini USA, in a statement, "Sirius is fully integrated into all three of the Mini infotainment options."

All new Model Year 2011 MINI Hardtop, Convertible, Clubman and Countryman vehicles will include a factory-equipped satellite radio and a one-year introductory subscription.
