Re: Tyre Change Charge
My last tyre change was £20 a wheel including disposal, and that was a drive in job.

No idea of your budget or direction with bikes, but is it worth having a go on some of the newer models - like the R1250RT before you start spending money on this one?

Re: Finally, a new Boxer!
Doctor T has done some of this - the keyless alarm can be set via the menus, basically the alarm sets automatically or you can turn it off (I've just been on a ferry to Spain, so this is a good thing for me), and you can press the button on the right bar or key fob for the central locking - the fue...

Re: BMW goes auto
Sounds good, but I'd like to try it, I'm not sure how it would work when your say.................... looking ahead at a slow twist back, or preparing to get past a car with limited room - could it keep up? Ideal for most touring though

Ride UK to Spain/Portugal (and back!!)
So a quick write up on the trip from the UK to Spain/Portugal and return on the R1250RT (22MY) :cheers: I traveled form Wigan to Plymouth and used Brittany Ferrier to get to Santander giving me 15 days in Spain the way I booked. I also booked a room for myself and a mate rather than be knackered in ...

Re: 1250 Test ride part 1
I've just done 2500 miles in Spain on mine, I done a similar trip last year on a K1600GA, and that was on the back of a 3000 mile trip on a HD EG in the States, so I've done a fair few miles on three big bikes in the last 2 years. To me the original screen is too small, I fitter a larger one and hav...

Re: Off to Spain/Portugal at the weekend
Hi James, I went to France, Spain, Portugal,back into Spain then Andorra and back through France. My first trip into Europe, 4025 miles in 14 days, absolutely brilliant. Some of the best riding was in Portugal, I'm sure you will enjoy it just make sure you have good breakdown cover and health insur...

Off to Spain/Portugal at the weekend
I've done a couple of trips round Wales, and a couple of up and down to Scotland so far, but nothing more than that, so it will be interesting how I get on with the bike over a few thousand miles. So I'll do a few pictures and notes when I get home on how things went and what worked and what didn't,...

Re: Just got a 2023 R1250RT today
Welcome to the forum :cheers: Hill hold is usually activated by pulling the brake lever firmly and then releasing it when at rest if you have it, so if you have done this and it does not engage it's likely not on your bike. A lot of the 1250s are still under warranty, so I guess the number of people...

Re: Would you A B C or D
I'd have to want it, nothing is cheap if you don't want it, and if the cost to change did not look favourable then I would stick with what I have as it's not even two years old yet

Re: Luggage
I tend to just leave it all on, the panniers are good leg protection in a crash, and the top box is just handy. With no crash bars in place it takes just a few minutes to take off all the luggage
