Re: Seat Options

I'm 5'6" and just put the Sargent low seat on my bike a few hundred miles ago. No regrets so far. A big imrrovment over the stock low seat. I don't feel like I'm sliding forward and still comfortable after a few hours in the saddle.  I'll go out for a longer ride this weekend but I'm s...

Re: Sena 20S

RTman .. thx for the input. I'm not opposed to a wired system. I just moved from a Harley cruiser (Fatboy) to the RT, so the whole audio/communication/GPS thing is completely new to me.

Sena 20S

Wondering if anyone has any experience with the Sena 20S BT. After the purchase of a new r1200rt last week... I was intending to go with a BMW unit on a Schurberth, but just can't justify the purchase of a new helmet and BT system just to get the advantage of volume adjustment compatibility. So now ...

Re: She Has Arrived !!

Budman .. Correct I purchased the RT from Eurosport in AVL. They were great. Picked it up today and got 50 miles in before the weather began to get nasty. An amazing bike. Can't wait to get some long days in but it looks like the bike is going to be sitting in the garage for at least a week accordin...

Re: She Has Arrived !!

Yes .. full spec.  I'm leaning towards Schuberth with the BMW bluetooth. Just going to have to wait a bit and recoup the bank account balance first.

Newbie

I'm new to the forum and getting ready to trade in the Harley on a 2015 r1200rt. I'm looking for advice on options and packages offered. Most bikes at the dealership are fully loaded and I'm curious about which options you all think are worth the money and which ones you think should/could be omitte...
