BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Hello. My 1990 K100 is having some TLC after reaching 90k. So I ventured to the R side of BMW. At least until the K is back together...
Guess I may need help along the way as this is a different beast. I now know what having good brakes means...
90th anniversary model.
Regards
Neil.

I too travelled from the world of the k100. My 1987 k100 LT was a great bike, had two.
The heat from the tank was lovely in winter, but the biggest improvement was modern braking. Twin pot Brembo brakes on my 15 plate are astonishing.

I too have come over from a couple K's via a R1150Rt which proved to be an unreliable machine and a Honda which was great until age and physical ability got the better of me and it became too heavy to manoeuvre. I had a K100LT which was rear ended and written off hen a K1100LT which I ran for approx 13 years, did some great tours round Europe on it and agree with the heat issue which came to a head in the Alps where it caused the fuel to boil in the tank. Lesson learned, if going to high altitudes make sure you have a full tank.
Still have quite a few spare parts for the K in the garage !

Hi and welcome to the forum
