BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Morning Everyone,


I've just joined the forum and picked up my 2016 LE in San Marino blue yesterday,


I'm based in Oakham (Rutland) and have been riding for 15 years on and off!  My last bike was a '15 RR so it's a bit of a change to the RT but a recent move of house has seen me doing a 50 mile daily commute and the RR was becoming 'hard work'.


So far I'm absolutely chuffed with the RT, it's making my life a whole lot more comfortable, warm and hopefully safer :-)


I'm looking forward to having a read and learning lots from you all.

Welcome from another newbie - both to the forum and to the RT.

Welcome from another newbie

Welcome, you realise though, you have bought a slow colour bike. As others will tell you on this forum, grey is the fastest colour, but in reality Quartz Blue is. Enjoy  8)

As the Reverend Paggers and I can testify, grey was the fastest colour in 2014, blue 2015, but white is the current fastest colour, and will probably be so until at least the end of 2017, or even longer.

Only if you have a Polite vest and white helmet  :whistle:

Greeting & Merry Christmas (Prettige Feesten) from Belgium

Welcome Paul,
I have the very fast white one now :silence: .
I work in Melton Mowbray,  lovely biking  roads  around there

Thanks everyone for your welcome ... I can see this is going to be fun :-)
Of course I meticulously researched the fastest colour before buying the San Marino Blue  8)


Looking forward to catching up with some of you next year perhaps for a ride out somewhere.  Have a great Christmas,


Paul

If your up for a good laugh and some great roads join some of us next summer in Bad Herrenalb.

Thankyou ... that sounds great fun  ;D

Hello and welcome paulh! Blimey, what a small world. I used to live in Oakham in the 90s, in the David Wilson houses, in Hardwick Close. Lovely town, and a shame when we had to move on with my work. By the way, excellent choice of colour bike!!
