BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Just joined the Forum. I'm currently riding a 2018 K1600B that I've had since 8/2017 and have put 14,000 miles on. I live in Colorado and the bike is great in the mountains. However, on the highway/interstate it catches a lot of bad air and wobbles way too much for my liking. I've made a  ...

This feature has been around since the early 80's at least, yet they couldn't add this important feature to their list of hi-tech doodads? Besides being annoying, it can be dangerous.  Before the 13 some odd blinks limiter turns them off,  you can be telling a car aheadr that want...

I'm sure you'll love the bike! The only thing (unless I missed it) that you may want to consider, is swapping out the stock seat. However, you may be one of the few who does fine with the stock seat. My stock seat was good for the first 125-150 miles. After that, I would be very uncomfortable. I pla...

I've always been drawn to white bikes, hence, my 17' RT. You're going to love it.

I’m curious how you like your Sargent seat. Which model?

Just did a quick 40 mile ride this am  and to be honest, I didn't notice it so much. Almost all interstate, varied speed level, exited a couple of times for slow, gradual corners. I know I'm not imagining what I previously stated in my above post and I'll try and be a little more cognizant ...

Interesting. I just came off a HD Ultra Limited to a 2017 RT. I noticed a "weave" from the start(if we are referring to the same thing). I even mentioned it to my wife a few days ago. It feels difficult to ride the bike in a stright line without a slow, rhythmic weave. Seems to happen at a...

I just did a 9 day trip and I mounted the camera on the front just with one of the standard mounts (the slightly curved one). Exact same place as where the antenna is but on the other side. Worked out perfectly. You can see in the picture how I have it mounted. Also very easy to turn on or off from...

Hope you enjoy yor RT. It was between a Goldwing and RT. The weight was the final factor...went with the 17' RT in early July. Awesome performing motorcycle, at least thus far at 1600 miles. I'm sure that I could rack off a few/# of things that I miss from my HD Ultra limited, but overall, I love th...

Most I've done in a day is 900 miles. It was the last leg of a cross counry trip a couple of years back. I was on a HD Ultralimited at the time. I've done a bunch of 600 miles and 1 or 2 other 700 mile days. When I get on a bike, I just don't want to stop! Now that I've had some hearing loss/damage,...

Thanks for the welcome. I am spoiled living in the southwest, 8 months of great riding weather, 4 months of riding with your head in an oven! Congratulations on the new ride. I've had mine for a little over a month and love it. I can attest to the "head in an over" feeling, as I lived in ...

Yup, me too. Russell Day Long seat will be ordered.

I've had the bike on the road for the past 4 days and the RT is a great motorcycle! Rides/handles like a charm! From the waist-up, very, very comfortable. After a 200+ mile ride, my rear-end hurt so badly, I couldn't wait to get off the bike. Going with a Russell Day Long seat, but they're booked ou...

Machine art moto cylinder guards, simple install, they work Bmw pannier guards Werks quite ride windshields Hope you find your seat comfortable, otherwise after market is your only hope Registered the bike today and took it for a nice 245 mile ride and I couldn't wait for the ride to end...my rear-...

[size=2px]Just rode it home this afternoon and love it, so far. I don't think my sentiments will change either! I don't plan on doing too much to the bike. I'm having the top case painted to match the bike (Alpine White). I ordered one of the newer AeroFlow windscreens and it's supposed to be here ...
