BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Anyone able to recommend a solution to carrying extra fuel for a planned trip to somewhere wild later this year. '16 1200RT. 10L would be good, maybe even more. Is it just strap a can to the passenger seat or are there better solutions out there? Is there a jerry can that fits nicely in a pannier? O...

Still going out because I need the 'drug'. But I use apps for Esso and BP to pay at the pump, so I don't come into contact with anyone. I have a heart condition so do need to be a bit careful of catching it. But I can't face solitary confinement for months on end. The French are now under threat of ...

I'm also torn between K or R when I replace this Summer. Leaving aside the comments already around reliability, happy wives, etc, can anyone tell me how different the ergonomics are at all? Is there any more legroom or more upright bars? I know I can specify a bagger thingy and get forward footrests...

Take £30?

You may find it easier to source one in Germany or UK and move it to France. Depends how bothered you are about where the bike is registered or the hassle of re-registering. In my experience, there is much greater choice of used stock in those two countries.

Just imagine how quick he'd be if he was on a LC!  :))

Hi I was in Bordeaux on Sunday night heading back to the UK from Cadiz. Though I wouldn't recommend the Premiere Classe in Pessac Bersol to anyone. Not even my dog! I'm also 51 (today!) and a father of 4! I would love a trip back to see the real nice bits of the area some time. I am also very tempte...

One of the best bike inventions ever. Potentially saved my life last year. Was in the fast lane on a dual carriageway on my last bike (a Triumph). Overtaking a car at a slightly silly speed. Suddenly the TFT screen started flashing red and white. Tyre pressure gone. Point is, I didn't feel anything ...

Pretty darned good as they are, but I've swapped to a Puig touring screen, added a Givi rack and topbox and a foot extender for the sidestand

Could I easily swap back to seat when 'er indoors decides the weather is just perfect enough for her to tag along?

With all due respect you, that is perhaps the entire point.  The RT is a not an Econo-bike but a premium bike, at a premium price, from a respected German marque which prides itself on being as close to perfection as possible. I can totally understand that point of view for many owners, pa...

Very tempted to do this but worry about what I'll do to re-sale value

You must be joking! I've spent years on £1,000 bikes, strapped together with cable ties and gaffer tape. If I find a gripe with this bike, I know I've become too comfortable in old age!

These worth looking at? Great price

So, any recommendations for good value head guards (1200LC)?
