Hello,
I'm Alex, from Vancouver (Surrey) BC, and I bought an 1200RT in January. Looking forward to good weather to enjoy it and to learn about it as much as I can. It looks to me that there is a lot to learn about these bikes.
Cheers!

Welcome,and you bought the best colour

Pretty sure that's the RT my good friend traded in last year for an R1250GS. If so, it's a good bike and you should really enjoy it. He needed the GS for our planned trip up to the Yukon ands Alaska last summer.

They all look the same to me

They do, but the colour, the year and the 28L topbox and his location are all clues. My friend is from Burnaby which is part of the greater Vancouver area and he traded the bike in at the dealership the picture is in front of.

Thank you! I actually like it very much - yes. It's black in the garage, or in the shade, and a beautiful metallic burgundy in the sun. On the other hand, I didn't see this model in any color that I didn't like

Thanks for writing and for the picture! I'm sure it's the same bike. I went and tested it for the first time in the summer (June/July, I think), and loved it. I'm coming off metric cruisers so this is like Star Treck for me . So far I'm very happy with the purchase.
