BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Yes, it's an RT Forum, therefore, all members will own one, however, you may have or had more than one bike.

I've also got a 1981 Yamaha XJ650.



What other bikes have you got or had?

Now down to just the RT. Did have a very nice 1978 R65. Sold it to a bloke who comuted through 2 winters on it. Criminal.

Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer - Owned from new, almost 10 years old, modified 'slightly'. The new owner is on route to pick her up today, end of an era.

My Ducati Diavel Carbon keeps my RT company in the garage. owned from new, and its a keeper... 8)

[size=2px]I have a 2008 Honda CBR1000RR (AKA Fireblade).  I still enjoy the CBR but I'm loving the RT's ability to cover long distances AND produce big smiles when the road turns twisty.[/size]

I've always had a soft spot for that bike. I liked the xj550 also. My last bike I owned was an '86 gsxr 1100. Loved that bike that I bought new. I stopped riding on the street and really got into mx for a long time. Now I'm back to street bikes.

My 2004 Honda VFR 800 VTEC, last Bike prior to my first 2007 RT.
