First time on this forum, but I've been a member of the LT and K16 forums for many years.
I owned an R1150RT and loved that bike. Since then I've had both K1200LT and K1600bGA models and enjoyed them as well. I'm seriously considering replacing my 2019 K1600 with a newer RT ... a R1250RT most likely, but I'd like to learn more about the R1300RT as well. Seemed like the right forum to join and hear 'actual' user experience and opinions.
Thanks!
Chris

I will be spending a lot of time in Boone NC this summer, so I should have opportunities to ride into TN and enjoy many of the mountain roads in the area.
