BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

My -92 XR3i cab got MOT today. No problems whatsoever - which is nice.

Today was a really nice day for a ride.

Ordered a footpeg lowering kit from AliExpress.

Right. New tyres (Dunlop Roadsmart IV, 120/70ZR17 GT and 160/60ZR18) were installed today. After the ride today I can honestly say that R1100RT is completely different bike now. So planted, so effortless line changes, does not react on longitudinal ridges and grooves, etc. Absolutely fabulous change...

It has been worn only few times last summer and it is like new. Price was under half of what a new suit costs so I'm quite pleased. Now I think I have gear for ...

Got myself a new jacket, Dainese Ladakh. I think I'll call it Lada... https://www.dainese.com/us/en/motorbike/jackets/d-dry%C2%AE/ladakh-3l-d-dry%C2%AE-jacket-201654644.html https://dainese-cdn.thron.com/delivery/public/image/dainese/e4e2fb77-45ce-4f56-b063-c129e97c63d0/ramfdh/std/615x615/ladakh-3l-...
