BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Welcome Chad nice to have you on board. Whow! That is some riding you've done in such a short time sounds like a Training Programme in progress for your IBA, best of luck with that one. In my opinion there are so many great things about the RT and I have only recognised two weaknesses: one the seat ...

Good to have you on board Harold, welcome.

You are absolutely right, I know someone who works at the Triumph Factory, that's exactly what they have done. The above is not all about pinching design they are also examining the quality of their competitors parts it's not uncommon in the automotive industry. I have been the Safetyman on many a ...

I shall try again at some point if you say it's that easy. Last time I tried pics arrived on their side and others had probs also. I will try again soon. Cheers

Sofnolime no need for an apology your inputting is more than welcome I had posted my last response before reading yours, but it would appear we have the same feeling on general instability. I would also agree there is no bad tire out there these days just some not as good as others.

GS with decent road tyres eg PR4s. TKCs ( https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=tkc80+tyres&tbm=shop ) don't suit the RT. Thanks for the input and the link I had tested both GS and GSA liked the latter better but liked both. It did become a t...

Gotcha Moonie yeah I agree with the 'picture tells a thousand words' that must be true as Bread sang a song about it  :)) . The problem with uploading pictures on this site is it seems to be a problem in itself and that maybe the reason people rarely post pictures. I have several times fail...

I have retired (I think) the problem or more a dilemma I suppose is what are the best tires for my intended useage? When I bought the bike I had planned to cover major distances by motorways going to and from UK and France (South West) along with convincing the missus to ride with me as opposed to h...

Moonie you are going to have to run that by me again or am I missing something? :-\  Maybe there's an hidden message there somewhere?

I am a massive Triumph fan and love the triple having owned several they are great reliable bikes. I fancied a change like you and rode ST1300 (still trying to fathom out why it's so expensive) FJR1300 (good price, great ride, but just lacked something? 1400GTR Fast and furious (needed to ride to ex...

He probably bought that colour to ride close to the sea,myth know how these yanks rave about their coastal roads :))  only kidding Stevecccc. We are a very friendly bunch and has someone already stated there is a very knowledgeable bunch of guys here who can put you straight if you have a p...

Steve if I am not mistaken Wunderlicht make the engine bars for Herr Beemer?

Surely test are made on engineering design and their claims of protection proven? Otherwise they are selling goods that are notvwhatvtgey say they are and I am sure there is a law against that? I know engine guards protected my Tiger 800 because about 2006 I was making a turn and put the front wheel...

Thanks STeinar that answers the question and makes good sense.
