Why do you carry spare bulbs only in Germany? I was given the original Essential Kit list prior to our first trip to Germany in 2007, haven't bothered to edit it, now carry the spare bulbs all the time. Why the breathalyzer? We went to France in 2012, at the time, it was a legal requirement to carr...

This looks like a UK based Online Store:- http://www.ridersbmw.co.uk/shop/online-store/shop.htm

Yes, it looks like BMW have got it wrong, this Parts Catalogue is also quoting 8 kg or 17.5 lbs for the old top case. http://www.bmwetk.info/parts-catalog/prdm/BMW/VT/M/K26/ohne/R%201200%20RT%2010%20(0430,0440)/USA/2008/70/52026/77/77_0128 Perhaps a call to a local friendly BMW Parts Dept. will clar...

Falcon Tours are also offering a trip to Norway in 2015.

"Regarding the large top cases, the 2013 and earlier cases fit just fine on 2014 and 2015 RTs (one is shown below left), at $832 MSRP are about half the cost ($1,585 MSRP) of a 2014 or 2015 case, and are lighter."

Have tried a couple of CEE Baileys screens on both my 2007 & 2010 RT's. Yes, they will help to reduce buffeting & wind noise etc., however, the increased surface area & therefore force on the screen can potentially cause problems with the mounting brackets & electric motor. I found ...

Looks like they didn't sell it, still in their stock of Current Used Bikes.

View of my left leg after this morning's commute (without panniers), not happy! Do you have the same problem with your Job Bike. http://www.1200rt.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1186.0;attach=1162;image Looks like it hasn't got any infill panels fitted. http://cdn.1200rt.com/gallery/2423-04011...

Don't think BMW do a taller screen for a 2011 RT. Have tried a couple of CEE Baileys screens on both my 2007 & 2010 RT's. Yes, they will help to reduce buffeting & wind noise etc., however, the increased surface area & therefore force on the screen can potentially cause problems with the...
