BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Thanks for your input mate , I won't me going to so much trouble of lowering pegs etc , if the RT isn't right for me on the day I will buy the GSA to be honest it's looking like the Adventure, but I would like to try the RT first and there is no rush , winter is just about upon us , I will happily w...

I think the depreciation should. Be more
Than the cost increase anyway 66/17 ?

Kevin from Barrie robsons showed me the new price for 2017 , the RT had come down about £250

2017 bikes have come down in. Price actually!!

Never thought about lowering the foot pegs ! But how low can you go ? For ground clearance! You can adjust the screen on the GS with a knob with your left hand , I tried it on the move yesterday, plenty of time to make my decision and won't be doing much more riding this year now anyway

I am still waiting to test ride the RT but siting on the bike in the shop even on the highest seat setting I feel squashed up , not as much room as the GSA

I went into Barrie Robsons motorcycles of York today for a test ride of a GS Adventure, totally different to what I am used to riding , but nice and comfortable all the same , on the highest setting I could stand only on my tip toes , I am 6' 4" tall with a 34" inside leg , so I was amazed...

What does a Chelsea tractor look like?

Thanks for that mate , makes things a lot clearer

I just meant because there is a bit more drop between the seat and the foot pegs your legs tend to fall forward a bit more

It's more of my legs not being cramped rather than flat foot the floor ! The think I like about the GSA your legs are in front of you and seem plenty of stretch room , albeit it's not an RT and that's what I had my heart set on , don't suppose I know until I ride the thing

I am 6ft 4 inches tall with an inside leg measurement of 32/33 inches are there any other tall riders that ride an RT on here that can give me there opinion? I know the distance in inches from the top of the seat to the foot peg on the GSA is 23.5 inches and that suites me fine , although I haven't ...

My reasoning is the sheer look of the GSA and black panniers would be good it also has a more useable fuel tank of 30 litres so a range of over 300 miles ,  as I say I am going test ride both bikes , I still have my heart set on the black RT but it all comes down to comfort in the end , I a...

I like the adventure, plus I might be able to do a bit of off road riding , I like the 30 litre fuel tank not really bothered about the extra weight ! It's still lighter than the RT

I went to Barry robbsons motorcycles in York yesterday, unfortunately they didn't have a liquid cooled RT demonstrator in but they did have a GS Adventure , I must admit I felt I had more leg room on the GS and although I had set my heart on the RT there might be a new GS Adventure on the cards , I ...
