BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Just purchased my first BMW motorcycle and my first wet head!  Having accessories added by the dealer and will pick-up this coming Wednesday. Nothing for you experienced riders to get excited about, but I'm excited!!!   

Looks good, enjoy.

That's a beauty, I love that blue option.  I have a 2016 I bought in April, went with the platinum bronze color.  Where are you located?

Congratulations.


My first choice would have been the blue before I bought the Smoked candy Bordeaux version.

Now your fun begins

Hey Rudy, excellent choice on the SM Blue colour option!!

2016 R1200RTW
Love my ride it's the second RT I've owned,bought mine in late May and already have over 3k on her. I really enjoy the ProShift in the canyons downshifting. 2 up riding is also great my other half loves the comfort and communications via helmets. Be safe enjoy the day!

The '17 blue/ebony is very cool.
I got the '16 ebony/brown/burgundy/something and am actually happy with it.
I like the way the color varies from black/brown to gold or reddish brown depending on the light, with the help of the subtle metal flake.
The predominant shade seems to be a metal flake root beer to my eyes.

That screen looks huge.  Can you see over it if you stand on the pegs.

Haha - it's the stock screen, fully extended.
It does look kind of ridiculous, but nice on a 35 degree day.

Big criticism on the stock screen is it doesn't seem wide enough - allows a good deal of air on the  shoulders and torso.
Of course, I just came from a Goldwing and it is January in Washington - I might like it just fine in hot weather.

It's plenty big enough for the summers in Oregon, I nearly always have it in the lowest position.

PNW rocks  :enjoying:

Same colour as mine, its a great bike, great colour and faster than any other colour available 

Nice bike, I notice that the engine/transmission is painted silver whereas mine is black. Is it only the EU spec bikes that are black due to problems with corrosion?
