Joined the forum as now a R1200rt LE 2014 owner.


Have had 6 BMW's but always fancied a RT. I have in the past bought new but at around £17000 new found that rather a lot. Looked for months for a well kept RT. Wasn't bothered if it was a twincam or LC. Condition was first, mileage second.


My previous bike was a r1200r (2011) so the change was quite significant. My wife approved  :-*  as she occasionally rides pillion. The seat height for her was good. The heated seat was also a bonus for her.


I use the bike for touring and have my next tour of Spain booked. This should be the ideal bike for this trip.


I have been a subscriber to the GS users site since 2012 but thought this site may be more suitable.

Welcome. This place is nowhere near as brutal as UKGSER, so enjoy :)
