BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

116,000 miles showing, but 112,000 of that came from the first owner.
I'm hoping to get this bike up to 200,000 and beyond.

It will be 20 years old soon, and I'm planning to treat it as a "classic motorcycle" preservation project every time I get something repaired or replaced. (As much as a retired guy can afford, anyway!)

NB: my 2008 RT needed a shaft drive inspection and service at 112,000. If you're up that high, or near, it might be good to get it serviced before it crumbles and you have to replace it!

Someone once said to me...
"Good advice is FREE, but ignoring it can be slightly more expensive!"

My 2023 has 74,000 put on by first owner in 15 months.
Got a great deal plus ext warranty from Kissell with a trade on my 2018 33k GTL. Was getting too top heavy for my damaged 66 year old shoulders

Just had to change my vote. My 20112 camhead just clicked over 65k last week - service time now in time for this years shenanigans.

Having been out over the last 3 days, have now cracked 55K miles and re-voted.

My '13RT now has 100,017 miles. I've owned it since new and have done all the maintenance on it. It's only been back to the dealer once and that was for the fuel pump replacement recall. I usually trade or sell my bikes around 70 or 80 thousand miles but this bike just does everything too well to let it go. I'll just keep riding it and updating it's mileage here.

Hello, Just bought a '09, 20K mi.
