Re: Typical wait for service in the US?

If you can get an appointment, expect 1-2 hours for most regular service tasks. Add an additional two hours to that estimate if there is an update available for your TFT system. They basically plug it in and wait for the BMW servers to download all the necessary files and then complete a full re-fla...

Re: new to this forum.. just an observation..

I kind of figured the radio silence was due to us Yanks posting on a UK forum? I have been trying to share my initial impressions on my new RT coming from a GS for others wishing their GS was a better touring bike. While the GS is an amazingly versatile bike, it can be pretty miserable after a few h...

Re: TFT and General stuff on the 21 R1250RT

Created an iPhone IOS shortcut (Apple App) for turning the volume up to 100% on the iPhone when you launch the Connected App. Pretty simple to setup and solves the problem of forgetting to increase the volume up to max before storing your iPhone in its little cubby.

Re: Whats your opinion on the new 2021 RT?

Picked up my new 2021 RT the other night. Love the bike all around. Will post about the TFT in the TFT thread. The positives so far: 1250 engine has loads of torque. Front fairing and windscreen provides fantastic wind and weather protection. Rode from hot and sunny to colder hard rain in the dark g...

Re: 2021 R1250RT

Took a demo 2020 RT for a ride today at my local dealer while waiting for for 2021 to come in (US). Coming from a GS, wanted to make sure my long legs felt ok on the pegs. I sure do love that new 1250 engine! Any opinions on the high soft seat and or lowering the pegs? The riding position felt very ...

Re: 2021 R1250RT

I’m not confirmed for a couple weeks out. That’s just the line I’m getting from my dealer here in AL. I have heard the same thing from a few different dealers down here. Late March/early April. They can see units in their system in the BMW warehouse up in PA.

Re: 2021 R1250RT

Just put a deposit on one. Has anyone in the US picked theirs up yet? I’m being told a couple weeks out still for delivery.
