BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Although, be good to hear how those side boxes compare to the RT?

Any particular foibles or stuff to watch for really? I’m guessing really it’s similar to, lighter and thinner.

I’ve really enjoyed the RT, been a great bike and the boxer is fantastic, however in a change of circumstances, I’m now considering selling it and finding something narrower. Thinking of staying with the boxer and looking at an R or an RS for the luggage option, albeit smaller luggage. Anyone gone f...

Hi all.

Anyone recommend laptop bags which fit in the LC panniers well?

My Osprey is too long, and the excellent Amazon Basics one isn’t as nice a fit as I hoped for.

Any recommendations welcome!

Thanks all!

It was biblical my way for parts of yesterday. Glad I didn’t bike to work. Last night there were lakes on local roads.

Visited the grandkids,had a cuppa, mowed the grass, had a cuppa, swept out the garage , had a cuppa and went to do the weekly shop. Washed the windows and had a cuppa. Then pigged out on a homemade fish curry and had a cuppa. Now thinking about a shower then bed. I may have another cuppa. Some peop...

That's neat, will search as out of stock on his link.

Found this type last night: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0D ... ct_title_2 - which might allow a little shunting too.

I definitely have no intention of turning it on the incline! Just to turn it in the garage really.

Could look at rear wheel lifting. Have a wheeled paddock stand still…. Shall have a look at a centre stand turner though, thanks.

Moving house soon, and will have a garage down the side of the house which is an incline and also only the width of the garage. Any suggestions and recommendations for turners? Seen you can get centre stand ones, and also the type which you ride the bike on to and then you can wheel it round the gar...

Well, Still can't get it to talk to even a Mac with native USB A. Wonder if I need to actual proper cable. My Sena was fussy about the right cable. So I look on Garmin - 5-8 week lead

Man flu. But I soldiered on like a brave young boy.

Bloody hell, that’s not how roundabouts work! Six months is a long time to settle where he’s clearly left it late to go round from the wrong lane.

Main thing, you’re still here.

Rained in Manchester today, stopped, but then rained on my way home.

Sadly it is as secure as a secure thing!
