BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Brilliant scenery, I done something similar last year with Eaglerider on a Harley, I hope you had a great time, I know I did

make sure you get a few pics and post them up, hope it all goes well for you

How many miles have you ridden in a year? I should really take the fifth on that one to avoid embarrassing myself :oops: Over the past few years it's typically been around 2500/3000 in the UK, and then the same again on tours in the EU and America :cheers: I'm hopefully moving to Scotland next year...

I will have to disagree with your first comment. Ive owned a lot of older bikes. If they have been looked after before there is ususally not more that basic maintainance needed. My 07 had full BMW service before i purchaced it and all ive needed to do is a yearly service. Everyone has an opinion - ...

The older the bike the more work will be needed with maintenance etc, but as these are used by the majority of the police/ambulance services across Europe, you know they are a decent bet

Forgot I had these - still available if anyone is looking for a set

You lot are so modern. Upto 5 years ago i was still using a Nokia 3310. Great phone, lasted ages from a charge. Still on the orginal battery for 10 years.

I currently have the 14 pro max, and even it fits when you put it with the camera at the top and the screen face u...

Yep, a compressor and a repair kit are key components, even if they can just get you to a location you can wait more comfortable in

Just had a quick trip round Wales last week due to it being great weather, 26/30 degrees all week, too hot in actual fact, but can't really knock it for September, it was warmer than the trip I done to southern Spain last year at the same time of year :lol: 6 Days from Wigan where I live: Day 1 - He...

Yep, I found a Wunderlich rides seat, but it's trial and error and it's still not the right one for me, although it may just be I have a fat ass

Welcome to the forum

Now sorted - thanks.

Still looking for one if anyone has decided to let one go - it would need to be a standard or high height - a low is no good.

Thanks

Only way to really check if it's working is pop a thermometer on it and see if its' actually heating up, but it does make sense what they say, although you would expect better from BMW
