Hi from Bucharest

Hi there!

My name is Alex and I hail from Bucharest, Romania,

40 years old, been riding for 16 years now.

Some of my previous bike in chronological order:

Suzuki GSX 650 F K8

Suzuki GSX-R 750 K9

2012 BMW C650 GT

2011 Kymco Downtown 300i

2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic

2020 Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE+

2018 BMW K1600 GT

2022 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES DCT

2021 Yamaha XMAX 300 - currently owned

and now the latest one -> future 2024 R 1250 RT for which I already payed in advance and should arrive somewhere in March - April next year.

Hopefully I will keep this one for a longer period and not change once a year as I've done for the past 5 years.

Wanted a DCT Goldwing initially after the K1600 and Africa Twin with the DCT but Honda dealers around here are not really into negotiating - either you want to buy or bye bye, it's like they don't care, so it was an easy choice for me - go with BMW again since I enjoyed the Big K the most so far.

Why not a K still? Wanted new and the K is some 3 to 4k more expensive than the RT plus the BIg K has its quirks (like oil consumption and maintenance a bit more expensive due to the 6 cylinders).

Cheers :)

Welcome aboard! I see you have owned all sizes and kinds of bikes. I owned a 1800 Goldwing a couple bikes back and now have had my RT for two years. I have been happy with the RT and it is a lot like the Goldwing, bullet proof.
