Return to BMW
Posted: Sat Aug 26, 2023 11:21 am
Hi, I've finally got round to opening my account. I have returned to BMW after approx 10 years away from the marque. I purchased a New R1250RT at the end of July this year and unfortunately only managed to clock up 330 miles so far as unable to get the first service until middle of Sept.
I strayed away for BMW in 2014 after a very disappointing ownership of a 2004 R1150RT which proved to be very unreliable compared to my previous K1100LT and K100LT, I ended up with a Honda ST1300 which to be fair is a great bike and excellent tourer but realised in July whilst on tour was that it had become too heavy for me to manoeuvre around due to arthritis. The RT is superb and now I'm getting the benefit of a lighter and easier to move around big tourer.
Looking forward to reading through the forum and benefitting from the wealth of knowledge that always exists on these owners forums.
