BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I used to have an electrification divice called a Sabre tech 2000 I purchased from the states , that was until police told me I had to remove it and did arm the thing as it was ileagle using it in this country ! Cut a long story short , my bike was nicked about six weeks later

Why would you be searching around for keys ? As they would be in the ignition?

If your fob is in your pocket and your key is in the bike , surely it's. It keyless? What's the fob for ?

The LE model definitely docent come with keyless as standard ! its an extra £250 , my issue with it is the fact you only get one fob ! and an extra fob costing £180 where do you stop ? I am ordering my new RT at the back end of january in time for the new 17 plate, but it won't be keyless, as someon...

The cost of a spare fob is £180 , so that's really £430 for the keyless ride with two fobs , or nothing for two keys think I will opt for. Nothing

Enough said , don't thinks it's going to be keyless for me

I just wondered, if I take the keyless option when purchasing my new RT does it come with two keyless fobs ?

Ha ha , I am quite tall , but my issue was access into the garage ! I have a narrow path that leads to the garage behind the house , it's about 50 inches wide so it's ample , maybe just have to take off the panniers first but that's not a massive problem, I do that now with the blackbird

Just spoken with Kevin at Robsons of York , he was very pleased that folk were recommending him , and he was very helpful in answering a few questions I had , I will be purchasing my new RT  from his dealership when the new 17 plates comes out in march

I have a 2002 Honda Blackbird and it always clunks into first gear , in fact all of my bikes albeit Japanese have clunked into first gear

Thanks for that ! Think I have about 50 inches clearance so plenty realy , it's just I was looking at one in the flesh again last Thursday at Whitby and it looked ever so wide

Does anyone know the dimensions for the LC RT ? I know wickapedia states that the older model is 35.5 inches wide at its widest point , not sure what the new machines dimensions are ? I limited access where I live

If you look at most RT header pipes they tarnish easily ! Hopefully the chrome won't

I was at the whistle stop cafe tonight in Whitby , it's a bikers meet , there was a 16 reg gold RT there I think the LE model
As it had chrome exhaust , must admit I was Drooling

i don't mind paying a bit extra, as long as i am getting good service and back up ,. and at the end of the day i am paying the best part of 20k i am not going to haggle over a few quid at the likes of barry Robsons
