BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Been looking at the road king. Not into the blackout new ones as I like the chrome. How reliable are they and is servicing really dear? I have had seven Harleys through the years and the only one, which left me stranded, was my new 2004 FLHRC. And the reason was busted battery causing electrical sh...

Not so bright idea today to take the Road King out for a ride in 8 °C weather.

Perhaps heated grips for next season.

Got first hint of that white stuff.

I was under impression that BMW were to cancel the K1600 models altogether. Good thing they didn't.

Went for probably the last ride of the season.

Great news!

It was +13 °C today so I took the R1100RT for a ride. It was really nice. I like the Dunlop Roadsmart 4s a lot.

We had really nice weather yesterday with temperature around 26 degrees Celsius.

I took the Triumph out for a lengthy spin and some cheese cake.

...EUR 22.15 and they do not fit. What is the world coming to?

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...

Got the new tyres installed today and went for a 200 km ride to scrub them in.
