BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Rode home on this bad boy today 😁 Yamaha Tricity 125 for the missus. Very confidence inspiring in the wet with two wheels up front! Also managed 70mph on the clocks on the flat and 55mph uphill. Keyless ride, linked brakes, stop start technology, underseat storage, handy drop down hook for a shippi...

R 1300 R, (not R1300RT) premieres in 24 hrs on BMW utube site, hope it hasnt been hit with their ugly stick . Motorcycle.com have said last month, all three models (r1300rt, r1300rs and r1300r) confirmed coming out 2026. BMW new stock is now only showing 9 models UK, from 21 for the last few months...

I’ve done a route for the Saturday, Thirsk back to Thirsk is 141 miles so my Nav tells me 😀 I’ll be meeting up with Sim so he can put it up in here, sometime soon, because I haven’t a clue how to 🙄 Lunch stop will either be Whitby or Saltburn by the Sea, depending on timings, also a couple of brew ...

Thanks Bob. I'll reposition the magnet later, ready for your next inspection

I’ve been busy appeasing my OCD by labelling the new tool cabinet!

I did look at the Halfords ones, but thought the quality was inferior to the Co Craft one I bought 15 years ago, that still looks and feels like new. Sadly, Co Craft don't make the same one any more or I would have purchased another without hesitation. Quite a few of the mid and top chests are not a...

I've been looking for a middle of the range tool chest for a while as I've outgrown my current cabinet. Finally settled on this Draper 26" from 'The Range'. Even with the £9.99 delivery, it's significantly cheaper than I could find it elsewhere. I wouldn't normally bother with a finance option,...

Bear in mind that the Keeway ‘super light’ is actually heavier than the Cb125f (117kg Vs 134kg) dry weights.

Nice gesture. I would be inclined to get her a Honda CB125F. They're not very expensive, they're ultra reliable and importantly, they're worth more than most when she's ready to sell it and move on to a bigger bike. Check the insurance costs too. My daughter wants to get into riding and her insuranc...

I'm not sure I see your point David (apart from you saved a few £s for using non genuine parts), but you're correct that the invoice showed 5 AW for for service 111 and 2 AW for service 11611. Both items combined were £70 plus VAT

Just the oil change.

£70 Labour
£54.16 Oil
£16.66 Filter
£0.96 Washer

All plus VAT of course

A change of plans meant that I couldn't take my RT for its service. My 'local' BMW dealer has an offer on to collect and deliver bikes within a 20 mile radius. Despite living 29 miles away, they still provided this for 'free'. Whilst it only needed an oil change, I got the usual walk-around video, t...

I use this on my 1200. I imagine it will fit the 1250 just as well

Unlike some, it allows for the Top Box
