greetings to all. Not really a newbie to beemers after having owned an R80RT and just about to p/x my R1100R for a 09 silver RT.
Doesn't have all the 'extra's', but for me, being somewhat short, a factory low one piece seat.
Hopefully pick it up this Saturday.

Hello, welcome, like you, before this latest BMW, my other two were R80RT in the early 90s. Now have a LC and really like it.

Picked her up today, not the most comfortable temperature to learn a new bike, however, nice 100 mile ride back home. Put her in the garage and then went for a long cool shower, (I always wear protective gear). Have a look over all bits and bobs tomorrow but have noticed a few things. Adjustable screen , nice. MPG, nice. Cruise control, nice. Low shortarse seat, reasonably comfy.
However, the mirrors are appalling, will look to get extras attached asap.

Spend a little time it's mirror adjustment before bolting even more on. They are not perfect but are definitely not appalling.

Strange, I usually take mine off when I have a shower
Glad you're loving the bike
what a great day to pick it up!

Ah yes, it was a great day...... apart from the fact everyone else with transport was out there as well!! With regards to the shower, it's cool and has the added benefit of washing the gear down as well
