Considering Coming Over from S1000R - What to know?

[MattB_2020]

In an attempt to summarise, if I may, buy the R1250RT.  They are fabulous machines, you will not regret it.  There are many well proven ways to sort the seat to your satisfaction.

Thanks all for the comments and advice. Bought my Alpine White 2021 RT this past Saturday. Best purchase I’ve ever made.

Sorry, late to the party.  Congrats on the new RT!  I really enjoy mine.


Did you consider an XR?  I can get 200 miles out of a tank, it's more comfortable than my RT and a heck of a lot faster.  But, 2-up is not really an option and wind protection is nothing compared to the RT (but coming from an R, it would have been a solid improvement).


Enjoy the new ride!

I tried an S1000XR the other day on a dealers lot. After struggling to get on it, I found that my legs were not long enough to get it upright off its side-stand. By the time it was lowered it would have the same suspension travel as my current RT!
