New '22 1250RT - Triple Black

Post by sxc »

This is my 2nd RT, my first was a '97 RT and recently sold to make room for the new one.

The evolution is impressive particularly with respect to ride capability when fully loaded w/ pillion + top box.

Since taking her off the dealer lot two weeks ago, the bike has undergone a Tractive rear suspension upgrade, header exhaust swap for Akrapovic SS variant w/ CAT and 600-mile service...taking a total DIY attitude towards ownership and service hence my interest in joining this forum.

The only other enhancements planned is a Russell saddle and protective paint film on side case tops.

Good choice on the Tractive! I've just swapped across on my 25k mile 20128 RT, a great improvement and way cheaper than a BMW replacement. Enjoy your new ride :cheers:
