BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Is it possible to find the build number of a bike, the R1250RT I get delivered on Friday was produced on 2018-11-08, when did BMW start building them?

Hi Glen,
According to this press release production started on the 1st Sept '18. Serienanlauf translates as 'Series start-up'.

My R1250RT was registered on the 24th Oct '18 and has a Frame Number ending 0745. For it to have been manufactured, shipped from Germany to the UK, then to the distributor, uncrated, PDI etc by the 24th Oct means I guess mine's a first or certainly early batch built.

P.S. Where are you in Shropshire, I'm a few miles south of Shrewsbury.

Hi Capt Sisko, I'm in Newport, been here for nearly 8 years now.

My bike has a production date of 8 Nov 18 with a frame number ending in 71206, I've only had it 3 weeks, but loving it so far.

Good aren't they, and make the most of this decent weather while it lasts.

Hi chaps, you local to some of the RT weekends held, do you not fancy joining us o any of the yearly meet ups? It's a great weekend of banter and riding the bikes.

I have sent MikeS a PM that as soon as I can arrange a kennel for the dog, I will be popping up to Dumfries in July.

Great, always nice to put a face too a name
