BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Now I know, it sounds as fishy as it could be, but I treated myself to Monimoto tracker (version 7) that does not need external power.
I don't work on Blue Motor Whale much (I don't have neither garage nor workshop), so I would be attempting to strip the bike as little as possible.

Could you share (via private message) a general location that would be suitable, or if you already DO NOT HAVE an RT, could you send me suggestion where I could hide it?

I am on last run of antibiotics to clear my lungs after Covid, so I cannot wait to get back into saddle on the short, cold but dry days.

I will drop you a message as to where mine is

Hi Stu. I have the 1250RT and just bought a Monimoto 9. I'd be grateful to know where you put yours if possible ? Safe riding.

Hi @HPTCC! with yours being a newer model it will not be possible for it to go in the same place as mine

Hi Stu. Thanks for letting me know. Enjoy your NY.

I found enough room to fit my camera box under the tank panels. There is also loads of room on the inside of the fairing panels out of the way.
My mate, who never carries a passenger on his KTM 690, where there is no room to fit a matchbox. Took the cover off the rear seat part, cut a hole for his tracker, then replaced the foam back over it. Without him telling me when he sold the bike, i would have never known.
The problem is, if they have stolen the bike for parts, the little scums will find it in the end. Just think where you would put it in a place that you will forget, and you're halfway there. Think outside the box.
My new car came from the factory with a tracker fitted. I put some over mats in the car and found it by just looking up from the passenger footwell.
Merc is sending a tech around next week to move it. I got 3 years free tracking for finding the box, which was meant to be so hidden away that no one would find it. Yeh OK

I also bought a Monimoto 7, but the problem is that I’m going to use it in several vehicles, so the spot needs to be both hidden and accessible without having to remove panels. Any ideas?

What if the bike gets nicked when the tracker is on another vehicle?

I have a private garage, and I can only use one vehicle at once.

Bikes often get stolen from garages (in the UK at least) - even those with alarms, CCTV and bloody great locks!

I know, you guys over there in the UK are really having a hard time with all the bike thefts, fortunately, it’s not that bad here.
The idea is to use the Monimoto on whichever vehicle is outside. I daily comute on a PCX, but when I travel, I obviously take the RT. I also have an MK1 Escort that rarely sees the light of day.
The plan is to alternate the Monimoto between the three, depending on which one is being used.
It’s not that I couldn’t get robbed while they’re in the garage, nothing is impossible, but I’ve got other security measures there.
This is mainly for when they’re “out.”
A few weeks ago, when I asked the question, I was worried because I was about to travel to Morocco (and I did), but I later realized that the Monimoto doesn’t work there.
I ended up relying on AirTags instead.
