BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I have ordered one of these myself but opted for the cheaper snail mail!


This is for my zumo xt though

Have a look at Illium rear bars, you can fit with any front bars. They are low so don't impact passengers calves and they are quickly removable if you ever ride without bags. There is a UK distributor. sportouring.co.uk Yes I have seen those I also saw the price!  :))  but needs m...

Both! Head covers to protect from rocks, crap, etc, thrown up from the road. Engine bars to provide additional protection in the event of a slow speed tip-over. Both it is then  :)) Has anyone had any issues with rear bars interfering with pillions feet? I have heard some people mention it...

As above really


What and why?


My 2016 has head covers already but I am wondering if I should fit crash bars instead? do they offer more protection?

Welcome! Is that a huge BMW logo on the side of the tank? Is it stuck on? You have just discovered what we BMW riders have known for so long. Namely (and generalising a bit) that the Japanese bikes are all about the magnificent engines viz FJR1300, Kawasaki GTR1400 or supercharged Z1000SX H2, where...

Thanks


I just can't wait now  :))

Well I went for the test ride and I must say compare to the FJR its a totally different bike!

Masses of knowledge on there

Thanks All for the replies I have ridden the 1250 with the missus on the back already but the time we had on it just wasn't enough in my opinion! I couldn't get the feel of it! I stalled it twice  :))  I have never owned a flat twin but had a V twin for 9 years before the FJR its a...

Hi all First post here and I would just like to pick the knowledge of the forum. I currently have an FJR1300 2001 model which has served me well for the last 6 years it was basically a cheap bike to give touring a go with the wife and its now come to the time that I want to invest in a better bike. ...
