BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I have a XL (61/62) AGV Tourmodular helmet, that doesn't fit in the 49l topbox either

My RDL seat set low, is higher than a standard seat set on high.

I had a pair of Dunlop RoadSmart IV GT's fitted today, just applied for the £40 cashback

I bought a Mk3 Skoda Superb 1.4 hybrid back at the end of August. I last filled it up 31st December and it showed 485 miles range, 2480 miles later it's still shows 275, it's ideal for my 10 miles to work and back solely on electric, cost approx 70p a day to charge, on petrol it will still do 50mpg+

I've had the issue with 2 different R1250RT on the same Saturday a year apart, putting a battery with a higher CCA rating seems to solve it.

On the Bikesafe day I did, the ROSPA instructor advised to keep the engine in the middle third of the rev range, it's more responsive then.

I'm saving £47 on the fitted price quoted by Sticky Stuff in Telford (Fully fitted £347 after £40 cashback). Addison Tyres in Tipton will supply Roadsmart IV front & rear for £280, deliver them down the road to BCMT who will fit them for £60, so £300 fully fitted after the £40 cashback.

How about asking Synter in Shrewsbury or Wolverhampton?

I agreed to buy a 48 year old bike yesterday, a Honda CB550F2 Four, it needs some work, ie 3&4 carbs flood, replace the coils, leads & plugs, find and refit an original headlight.

A bankers draft for the full amount might work, or insist on going to your local branch of his bank and withdrawing the cash.

My bike currently showing 61.2mpg over the past 210 miles using Asda E10, what sort of mpg do you get out of E5?
