New R1200RT

So on another note , what is the cost of a BMW top box for the RT ?

Too much - and it makes the bike ugly too!


:alas: :alas:

Just thought if I am going to spend 16k plus I might as well have an original colour coded top box

Budget a grand for the top box, high level brake light and painted.

Top Box £1,000 (approx.)

If you mean the red Iconic, there are only 200 of them , insurance is a challenge and you will never be able to enjoy it's looks. The tears in your eyes will make it blurred for years having parted with £20K+ to buy it.

I'm not aware of anybody that as pay'ed the 20k+ for the Iconic, if you want one and find one give them an hard time! Bargains or there to be had , and let's face it!! It is the best colour  :enjoying:

It is if you like Hondas - that's presumably where BMW got the paint.  It was left over from an old batch of Pans (or Civics!).

The 1977 R 100 RT in 'Lava Rot' inspired the RT

Has the RT Iconic's production run been increased from 100 to 200.

Strictly speaking BMW didn't get the paint, these bikes are painted by 8 Ball, they are not factory painted. So they are a standard colour, then re-sprayed. Hence its not a factory special.  8)

I believe this paintwork was done by Gonzo's Kuston Paint Shop, https://www.facebook.com/Gonzos-Kustom- ... 890376527/



He has recently painted the tank for my XJ650.
