BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Just joined as I am thinking of upgrading my K1300GT to a new 1250RT LE. Any advice welcomed on do's/don't and features worth having, or not. Having a test ride tomorrow. Hello and welcome, in January I traded my 12plate K1600GTLE in for a 20plate R1250RTLE after being given one as a loan bike whil...

My mate Had a Puch Maxi. He was able to keep up with my Fizzy. As he lived on the 12th floor here used to that it up in the lift. Life was so simply back then. I bought one from a supermarket noticeboard for £50 quid in the 90's and didn't take it seriously enough. it ended up as a field bike and I...

Hi there - Someone has just placed a bid on it on eBay - was that you? The fairest thing to do would be to let the auction run its course. I think they are about £400 new - so I'd be looking for around half of that. https://bmw.europe-moto.com/gb/seats-moto-bmw-motorrad/8052-bmw-low-driver-seat-hea...

Currently on eBay but open to offers. Will ship within the UK only. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185860842190 Makes a BIG difference to the seat height. Rich Hi Rich, I have a 20 plate R1250 RT and the sticker on my seat says 52 53 8 544 784. I'll do some checking around the t'internets and see if it...

I went to look at a W reg Puch Maxi today as an excuse to get some miles on a bike I'm running in after a top end conversion. I'm on the look out for an old two stroke but everyone seems to think they can charge a gold pig for something your dad would have put out by the bins for the scrapman. There...

I bought my current RT without test riding the actual bike itself because I'd been lent the demo RT when my K1600 was in for service in December. Then it was just waiting for the right RT to show up with the top box and without all the radio gubbins.

I think I prefer that to the Powerbronze meself.

Fair play to you for buying a bike to fix it up, are you going for used or new parts?

Chairobics is my thing

Thanks

I wanted you to buy a powerbronze so you could say if it was any good

You can get a powerbronze screen on the bay for around a hundred quid

What did you do with the old ones? Asking for a friend.....

Hi everyone, Just joined my first forum even though I have had bikes for decades. Just took delivery of a 2019 R1250 RT. I have other bikes but have done about 40,000 miles on my 2002 1150 RT over the last 5 years and enjoyed working on it and upgrading it etc. Looking forward to reading posts Stev...

Indeed. There's also money not accounted for so I'm having to look in every box, open every bag etc

Meet a nice chap at Whiteways cafe yesterday. He told me the garage he usually uses is really busy. He said he had the parts in his top box and his front wheel bearing really needed doing. After an hour or so chat, i told him if he is really in a rush i can change them for him. Anyway, he turned up...
