BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I was told BMW warranty is only valid if genuine BMW parts are used and you get a stamp in the book from the garage.

Firstly avoid the pre-2007 models that have the servo assisted brakes. I think you will be deciding on the "Hexhead" (2005-2009), "Twin cam" (2010-2013) or "water cooled" (2014-now) versions (I think these dates are correct??) From reading forums the Twin Cam seems to g...

Every bike I have had I have had to fit some kind of bar risers too. When I go to look at new bikes and sit on them the bars always seem too far away, and my arms are locked straight.
