BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

This is a frequent subject that regularly appears on the forum, so if you use the search button you’ll find lots of posts to read through and some may answer your questions. I bought a 2018 1200RT about 3 years ago and initially used a Garmin Nav5, but very quickly changed it for a Tomtom which I pe...

Welcome aboard mate, tell us about your bike, and what prompted the purchase of the RT… enjoy the forum and don’t be shy about asking advice.

A pleasure mate, that’s a hell of a bargain!

Here's the link to the packing vid she did a few years ago. I think she might have found other better ways to do this now but from this you can see the rest of the stuff she's put up of our trips. She mainly puts them here for storage and not for followers but over the years she's started to share ...

I saw this on a Greek ferry a few years ago, it fell over when he put it on the side stand.

100% agree 👍 Do you put your videos on You tube? If so a link pls! I remember on our first French tour in the 90’s I had the ZX10 with 2 humongous Krauser panniers, an equally sized topbox, and a triple-decker tank bag, all filled them to capacity. It must have weighted a bliddy ton and we used abou...

1987? In the days before we were issued leathers. It’s horrifying to consider we were wearing jodphurs, like something off Morcombe and Wise. The K100 was a lot quicker than the R80RT it replaced, but tended to weave at top end of 134mph. Petersfield Traffic_Original.jpeg 2012? As you may have guess...

Ta mate

Not tried it yet, but we had one positioned on the windscreen of an MX5 that we took through France and Italy a few years back and that worked a treat. So having it on the front of an RT fairing should work too… we hope. I did wonder if it would be better placed where the Crit’air sticker is on the ...

I remember that… Performance Bikes rode it and in the article showed a pic of their test rider holding 2 sacks of potatoes, representing the weight they’d shaved off the TT bike.

I took the extender off my 2018 to clean it up when I first got the bike, and remember it being a pain to re-attatch. I’ll have a look tomorrow.

I have a spare mount,I'll go and find the flattest spot at the front there is.I could have sworn you had it on your person,or was that somebody else. You’re right, last year I put it in the zipped pocket that holds the CO2 canister on my air vest where it worked pretty well. When I first got the bl...

That’s not good, sounds like you (and he) had a fun trip!

How about here? I thought it may work there ok, it’s about the only half straight bit facing frontwards (is that a word?)
Have fun on your trip matey

11 days to go until our annual Greece trip, and at the risk of sounding like British Rail in days of yore “Calling at Folkestone, Coquelles, Chaumont, Caprie, and Forli before arriving at Ancona…” followed by overnight accommodation on Superfast Ferries to Igoumenitsa then onto Paleros. A month ther...
