funny you mention this, I was out on my RT on Saturday and noticed the low beam on a lot more than normal.... probably just the dull day?

website seems to confirm it works with BMW too

My mate has bought one... Ive seen it but not heard it running, he intially liked it better than his RT, then was finding the riding position not quite right for him, he raised the bars but before he could get a few miles on it the suspension packed up... been with dealer for a few weeks now, waitin...

Thats not good to hear, my only gripe with my 1250RT is the rattly engine noise...... thinking of gettng the modified cam chain tensioner fitted but now thinking they cant be quieten'd down.... could go the other way and fit a loud exhaust

Not my RT but a mates Honda, went for a run with him and noticed that his front indicators are permanently lit? Obviously the one flashes when he indicates. I didn’t think this was legal, done a googly and found this Technically the indicators that are always on are illegal in the UK. Law states tha...

Getting closer
just seen this pic posted on Facebook.... looks like 1200RT so if it works on this I assume will work on 1250?
guy that posted has ordered one and awaiting delivery... hope it works with wonderwheel

Watching with interest, but I haven’t seen anyone showing it working with the non lcd screen rt. all the videos I have seen show the lcd and the long press on the menu button to switch from the lcd to the nav….
If anyone has it on the earlier 1250 would be good to see..

Gave the RT the day off and pottered around Glasgow's street art on the Trumpet.....

Gen1 Busa 10 years NCD (should be more, but some companys only go up to 9 ) Gen2 Busa 11 years NCD ( again should be more) (as the bike has now gone, the NCD will be used on Art...

I am with Carole Nash for two bikes. I don't find it any cheaper than having two seperate policies. I would like to split them into two policies but that means starting at zero no claims bonus again on one of the policies. I may be wrong but you don’t just start at zero no claims….. you always will...

I learnt a life lesson a whle back with a Triumph I bought, was the first brand new bike I had bought for 15 years..... kept it immaculate, avoided rain etc, sprayed with WD40 after washing and drying..... when I traded it in it wasn't worth any more than the one next to it :shock: So now I use my b...

sounds like a reasonable deal considering where car insurance is... do you know how much your saving by having a multi vehicle policy?

Hi All, had an itch today I had to scratch :lol: ... bought a Triumph Thruxon.... Thruxton side 2.jpg Dont worry, the RT's not going anywhere, now a two bike family :-D So looking at insurance, Im with Carol Nash just now, £124 for the RT 6 months ago, done some on line quotes for the triumph with n...
