BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I would personally steer clear of Chinese made tools been an engineer for over 40 years never found there stuff any good try toolstop.co.uk all good stuff and free postage over £25 or if money is burning a hole Cruz tools do a kit specific to bike real high end quality I think Bahnstormer do them

Morning All ,I have the 50 litre box, it comes with an adaptor kit(aluminium) which bolts on to original bike frame, box then attaches same as original box,key turns one way to open or other way to unlock and remove, quality is really good, sits in just the right place for back support, according to...

I can easily confirm it is an amazing part of the world to see on a bike !!!! definitely worth doing but if you are camping then before May or after late September or the dreaded midge will eat you alive !!!! trust me !!! otherwise tons of accommodation to meet all budgets

Extended warranty is an emotive issue its really down to the risk factor, Do you spend in excess of £300 for peace of mind ? baring in mind its BMW !! Generally speaking bikes do not do big miles so what is the risk of breaking down ? if it does just take the hit on the cost, again personal view, I ...

Breakdown direct coming in at £32 and that includes 2 days either side travelling from /to Scotland but my uk policy could cover that certainly cheaper than BMW but add uk cover at £50 for the year ,which only really need 6 month so it's £82 against BMW @£132 Really down to confidence in the company...

Hi Again, All interesting stuff, it will be a single trip, I had UK cover through Swintons at £4/ month which basically got the bike home if it could not be fixed, I have cancelled that now as bike off the road for the winter, just a case of doing the sums for annual uk cover plus one trip abroad Th...

Ha All Thanks for all the info , much appreciated,always better to have a recommendation from someone.
BMW is coming in at £135/annum, although slightly more expensive , you know what you are getting , but will get quotes from the rest
Thanks again

The R1200RT I recently purchased had a bit vague service history got local BMW dealer John Clark in Dundee to carry out full service , filters,all oils , alt belt , plugs, cyl balance the whole nine yards
£330 inc vat
Must admit runs like a dream

Starting to plan next years trip,to Europe ,any recommendations for breakdown cover i.e.reputable reliable companies, have driven many times with the car but not a bike, have looked at the big guys RAC etc probably the best but not inexpensive
