BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Yes have pro shift, worked out its better after 2nd. Not an issue, was just wondering if its normal, my last BMW was a R80RT which had a terrible gearbox.

I have one of the very early 2014 models and have zero corrosion, despite being just 20km away from the ocean and just 5km when I am parked at work.
