BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Anyone contemplating going to the bike show in London this coming weekend ?
Ive been to the NEC show but not the xcel, just wondered if it's on the same par or better ?

I have the same yr model as you, and I'm fairly confident mine doesn't do that, if it did, I'm sure I would have noticed.

So the side stand is strong enough to take the weight then ? Mines a 2010 model

She isn't large and quite agile for her yrs, trouble is she's clumsy !

Mine def has an alarm, ask the neighbours !! Lol
I'm just fed up hitting the button to silence it every couple of minutes..

Is it possible to deactivate the alarm whilst working on or cleaning the bike ? R1200rt 2010 model

I hope so too, I'm thinking of taking out a warranty for piece of mind.


I'm located in Ashford Kent, so, if there are any fellow bike nuts nearby that fancy meeting up, or a ride out then l'd be pleased to hear from you.

Hi everyone, signed up to the forum today and slowly finding my way around the site. I'm a week in of owning a 2010 rt, this is my first BM motorbike, early days but so far I'm enjoying the experience, I think !
