BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Just a comment I heard from the sales guys at Pidcocks.  When the 1200 first arrived last March they received some with Contis on and some with Z8s. They reckoned the Z8s gave a much more planted feel especially with a top box on.  New Conti going on tomorrow. But when the front i...

Well, after 6500 miles of abuse, i think its about time for a new rear Conti. I cant really fault these tyres, as they've lasted well (still plenty of life in the front), and are good in all road conditions.

6500miles and no problems with my Nav5, and worked great in France....just wish it had the same functionality as on the GS's though.. >:(
