BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Firstly, I LOVE my 2016 RT. As I'm reading through this thread, I can't help but wonder how many riders are reading it and thinking "who cares" After all, it's such a great all round bike, so what that there's an occasional clunk when shifting gears? To me it's just part of the character o...

Got mine at 49

:be happy:

I can see how easily that can happen as I already have a stable full of cars! It's a strange (and expensive) addiction, but great fun.

My bike has all the options except for Audio, not something I'm interested in or even need, considering that I have the nav, phone and helmet headsets all paired via Bluetooth anyway.
I love the gearshift assit and the creature comforts that all the other options provide!

Yes kiki, it was Troy at Atlantic Motoplex.
I'm pleased that my engine and driveshaft are silver and not black!

Always wanted a BMW & saved up until it was within my reach :be happy: Drove it back home from the dealership in near freezing temperatures for about 100 miles today. The heated seat & grips were fantastic and the bike handled well despite strong wind gusts. (We've had an unfortunate cold sp...

Looks Great!

Just take a look at these figures:
Fuel Capacity 2.5 litres??
Economy 45 mpg
Range 20 miles??

I'm picking up mine here in Eastern Canada on April 15th. I'll report back on mine. Hoping that it's not black . . .

Great tip, thanks! Assuming you're in the UK?
I'm in Canada & use ArmourAll wheel protectant, does the same job and well worth it.

I've been struggling with weather or not to add the audio/radio option to the RT I'm ordering, as it's a stand alone option in Canada for around $1,350. With the excellent aftermarket Bluetooth systems available for less than half the price, I just haven't been able to justify the extra cost for a p...

Cool! Canada or US?

With that handy info, I'll be well prepared  ^-^

Thanks, that's good to know. Yes, I'm getting the Navigator V so that answers my question.

Anyone use ACF-50? Spraying this on twice a year is supposed to suppress any corrosion very effectively.

Hi to everyone on this board, I've just joined and look forward to reading posts and learning from fellow RT owners. I'm a long time biker and always dreamed of owning a BMW and now I'm pulling the trigger on a new R1200RT! I'm located in Atlantic Canada (Nova Scotia) and have my eye on local shorte...
