Hello from a BMW guy in NC

Post by mantincp »

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!

Thanks, but I'm booked this weekend.
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.
