BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I've been looking at pros and cons from the K1300GT, R1200RS, R1200RT, R1200R ... looks like the R1200RT would exceed my expectations .... :-)

The worst model was a brand new CVO Road King, 26k worth of Harley Iron. Issues over two years: The day it was delivered I took it for a ride, went to fill it up and couldn't turn the engine off.

Hi there, Just wanna say hi. I've been enjoying my F800GT for a few years, wonderful bike on twisty mountain roads. I am here to find out about other BMW products. I see a lot of R1200RT on the road and it seems to be the motorcycle of choice for law enforcement both in Europe and in the USA. I'd li...
