BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Good to know, thanks all. Looking around 2010-2012 at the mo I think, that seems to be the sweet spot between mileage / service history and wallet!

Wow, thanks David - both for the expert eye on that 2013 and for finding that rather lovely shiny Hexhead! Going to pour myself a glass of something and have a decent look!

Thanks David - they're basically the 2 bikes I was talking about. I had no idea you could pull an MOT like that, that's brilliant!

3rd time lucky on this - every time I try request another captcha image it drops everything I've written. Grrr. Anyway - hello! I've been lurking and learning for a while now, but I think this is my first post. Long story short, I've recently given up a company-owned RT (2016 LE) and now find mysel...
