I took out a new R1250RT with all the options on yesterday for a few hours. (still don't see the point in audio on the bike) 110 miles in poor conditions but I must say what a difference the new bike is. The engine is smooth and just pulls all the way round the rev range, the clutch and gearbox maybe the same as the old bike but felt lighter and smoother.The bike itself felt lighter and more stable when changing direction quickly ( or as quick as I dared on wet roads with shiny new tyres)I can see the there being a lot of R1200Rt's hitting the second hand market soon....mine being one of them (hopefully )

Slightly surprised that the new model hasn't delivered a big price hike. Having said that a new one with the same spec as mine is circa £19k.... makes my 2nd owner bike look like a bargain.
What's more surprising is that the part ex price's are still strong for the out going model.
19k, did you order gold bar end weights I just spaced one up on the configurator and without negotiating discounts, it came to around 17.5k with audio. I would keep my top box and re-spray it. That was with an Akra can as well.
After watching that I think my hard earned will go on a remap at hilltop motorcycles.
