Having previously owned a 2020 BMW RNineT, I can confidently say that these two bikes are quite different. The R1200RT has significantly improved my comfort level for extended rides. While it is undoubtedly heavier than the RNineT, its weight becomes negligible once I begin moving.

I anticipate having some additional questions in the future, but thus far, I am thoroughly enjoying the experience. I plan to visit the dealership next week to have a final drive warranty replacement performed. I am optimistic about the outcome.

The bike looks great, especially that top box. Custom or OEM?

This was a law enforcement (police) bike. So the case is slimmer.

On the RT-P the top box is where the radio equipment was mounted. So, it's really just an empty box with an aluminum plate underneath. Still, it has a good bit of space inside. I have a backpack that fits perfectly inside my radio box. Nice, locking storage! The backrest is nice, too!
