BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I hate it when we label car drivers as idiots (or worse).  They tolerate us filtering past, and overtaking when we want, but when they want to get past us, we label them idiots or twats! Come on guys, the biker just had to ease over to the left, allow the car through and carry on with his ...

Probably going to get trashed for saying this:-) but there appeared to be plenty of nearside space for the rider to move over and let the Audi go without being inconvenience...  Regardless car or bike, if someone wants to go faster and I can move over, even if I have to back off a little, ...

In UK Cities more and more drivers are running red lights.  Usually because they are tailgating the vehicle in front  only focused on that vehicles brake lights, though some just dont care  and rive through anyway.  This is one of the reasons I am cautious about ...

Truck driver on cell phone, and a inexperienced and extremely
lucky biker. Hard to believe that man walked away from this!

I am interested as well Telesvar.  I have seen quite a few on this forum fitted to LC’s (that you can readily purchase fitting brackets for) but not on early model RT’s like yours and mine. I have a 2007 R1200RT. Yours is an early model, mine is not (2008)  :alas: Will see if we c...

Just purchased a Stebel Nautilus compact twin air horn. Was wondering where would be the better place to install it
on a RT. Anybody that has gone thru this, would you share your experience? And , is it even worth the trouble?

An old mechanic told me to smear used oil on the new filter's seal ring. Gave an explanation why that is better than the new oil, didn't pay attention, Wish i did! Make sure it threads on easy, all the way, and just hand tight it. You will never have a problem. And he was right!...so far  :...

What do you think, is the quality the powder coating better / stronger than the one that comes from BMW? I truly hope it is. The coating is as good as the one that does it! The ones done on my previous bike 5 years ago are like new. My present bike is 10 years old and the rims are still good. Maybe...

The coating on the wheels can be damaged when tires are being changed. To powder coat them is not cheap, but changes the look of your bike. I did my previous bike's rims just because i wanted that metallic paint that comes out as sun shines. There is a large variety of colors to chose from https://w...

OK as no one else has asked the question I'll be the stupid one  :wonder: What is the footrest stopper for? "There is no stupid question, just stupid answers " was told growing up. And not by my mom!!! :alas: You may be confused by the name stopper!  It is actually a saf...

Looks good, but for that money I would expect a bit of gold plating at least! Gold will not deter savage birds! How about a warranty, if this happens again, it will be in the house? It would look good in the beemer's community! After all, what are the chances this to happen again? Just a thought,&a...

No pic's?? :not:

And here is grandpa  :clap:

One more example that it could be worse. A turkey, this time:

Looks like a two stroke triple 750 GT.
But yes, Moto Martin has some nice ones, and this could be one.
A jewel, never the less....
