BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Took a test ride on a Rocket GT. I can see it making a great touring bike because of the Seat and handlebars and it is one of the smoothest bikes I've ridden. But there iare some big buts, my short legs were not long enough for the forward pegs and at speed the wind felt like it was trying to push m...

Blue is the best

Mine only gives me slight pain now and then. I've only got a small tear in my diaphragm from what I gather, so I am lucky not to be as bad as your wife.

Because my wife suffers from a slipping hiatus hernia we we recently advised to lift the head of the bed at least 5” That's intresting. I have a Hiatus Hernia as well. Had it for about 8 years, no one to tilt the bed up. Well all they told me was ah you have a Hiatus Hernia after taking the camera ...

Didn't the 2022 model come with leaky Hayes brakes

Nor me

Rode to Bournemouth this morning to have a test ride on a Ducati Diavel. What a fantastic bike. Seating position near perfect. A roll on from third and it goes supersonic. Hold on and pray. Ducati's quality has vastly improved over the years The V4 engine is so smooth up to 6000 rev then I did feel ...

My panniers are always on. Good safe storage for my helmet and jacket when I visit places. Did try once without them and found the exhaust note louder. I do fit my top box most of the time when on a journey. I think the RT looks strange without panniers fitted. It's a touring bike so in my mind they...

Christ, I can buy a bacon and egg sandwich for under £4.50 up the road. Fowler's egg be played in Gold

I see one on there for £12.98 but the pictures are for a LC seat. Are they sufficiently generic to fit both? Is it just the front seat cover? https://www.temu.com/uk/for-bmw-r1200rt-r1200-r-1200-rt-1200rt-motorcycle-accessories-mesh-seat-cushion-cover-protection-insulation-seat-cover-protector-g-60...

The extra height is 5 mm to 8mm. Due to the 3D matrix design it doesn't seem to compress. Despite this I find the cover very comfortable. Last year I rode to South Devon with only 2 stops and unlike the standard seat I suffered no bum burn.

I purchased my copy of the Cool cover(front and Rear) from Temu. It's not a universal cover but meant for the RT. Fit is perfect but you do need to really stretch the front. For £10 I would recommend it. I keeps my meat and two veg cool in the summer as I can feel the cool air coming up from it. Not...

Welcome to our site. Nice first couple of ride reviews. Surprised you find it vibrates more than a GS. On my 07 RT I hardly notice any vibration unless am in the wrong gear.

Plugged my new to me GS_911. Expecting to find loads of faults. Surprise, surprise only two faults found, not bad for a 16 year old bike. ABS short. I learned about this from the BMW service history from five years ago. The second fault was again a short from the front accessory plug. It didn't lie....
