Re: R1300GS

Any word on the RT versions - not that I should even be asking this with a 12 months old RT in the garage :lol:

Re: Top Box Brake Light

I had one on my last bike, but at £150 a pop I decided I would not bother on this one, I can't understand where they can justify this kind of money for a brake light :oops:

Re: Me Bike

It's easy done sometimes, you have something for so long and never get round to taking pictures of it - I've had cars like that, but admittedly before phone cameras became the norm :lol:

Looking good for an old girl :cheers:

Re: Price

Is £10,200 a good or fair price for a 2019/69 R1250RT with just over 15k on it. It has damage to the panniers which look like a stand still drop. Considering it's 2024 in about 6 weeks, the bike has some cosmetic damage, and it's the old style clocks/headlights etc. I think you could do better by h...

Re: BMW Motorrad dealer Ethics

Sorry to hear of your situation, but salesmen sell bikes, it's up to the buyer to decide whether he can ride it safely or not. That's not just an off the cuff remark, your post could equally be "Cheeky barstuard - who is he to tell me what I can ride :oops: " So it really is down to you wh...

Re: Is Gore-Tex a rip off?

I am more than old enough to remember walking gear before Gore-Tex became affordable and despite what FortNine says, Gore-Tex does make a difference, a big difference. Yes, it may not be perfect, but if you've never experienced the PU coated bright orange boil in bag cagoule, (you remember the one'...

Re: Is Gore-Tex a rip off?

I'm not going to be pro or against Gor Tex - but that kind of material is good for bikers as you want it to be waterproof on wet days, and breathable on dry days, so it does kind of suit us even if it does not do both together, which a sportsperson may want :roll: It's just so difficult these days t...

Re: Newcomer from Cheshie

Welcome guys, that trip is a regular on here, I've done it several times, but not on my latest R1250RT, it's a great way to get abroad and see the sights while avoiding a lengthy trip through France :cheers:
