New member from France

Post by Wooster »

Hi there!
I have a R1250RT from 2019, with which I have ridden almost 50.000 km.
Love the bike!
More than enough power, very comfortable, and great protection to ride in any weather condition (ok, except snow...).
And a lot of storage to pack anything you need on a road trip.

A warm welcome to our site.
You hit the nail on the head when you said" More than enough power". You don't need anymore that the RT produces. Make me wonder why people want 150/200bhp to have fun. You dont need all that bhp and can't use it on the street

My R1250RT is a great bike and I love it, but you can't beat 202bhp :-D from my M1000SX delivered on Monday.

But it doesn't have a comfy seat as the RT does.

Didn't know the GS seat was bad.
