First BMW owner

Post by jessking57 »

Hi, Jesse here from Adelaide, South Australia. I have bought an 06, R1200RT. I have always had Jap bikes, mostly Honda, so this is my first time on a BMW boxer engine motorcycle. I have always liked the look of them, but the seat height stopped me from getting one. I know the RT gets compared to other bikes, but after riding mine I have found they are a very different bike to ride. I don't think you can compare them with other bikes. Is it just me, did anyone else think so? Look forward to learning more about them from you guys.

Hi Jesse. Enjoy your RT. They are different to Jap bikes but highly addictive !!
