BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Remind Tim to pack clean under ware.  :alas:

Take one on test you will be surprised at how balanced and easy to ride at slow speed even two up. First time  to BMW for me my only considerations were rt or rs didn't test rs because rt ticked more boxes especially two up. Wife liked rt over other makes I did try.

Sorry was never my intention to take thread off course. Comment about making much difference was in relation to which bike to choose not specifically  about filtering. Think we can all agree a thin bike is easier. If filtering was my main concern on bike choice I wouldn't pick either.

F800st is 860mm

Just quick search to confirm suspicion RT 982mm RS 925mm. wouldn't have thought would make much difference especially on wide US interstates!! London whole different story. 

Should have said react differently to seeing white bike.

Due to deal didn't get choice of colours had to be carbon black. Love it though. Took white on test ride and found it annoying with cars ahead slowing down excessively every speed limit but was fun in nationals and filtering. Car drivers do manage to see white bikes more!!! :be happy:

No time to get to dealer in next couple weeks. If can't find one will just miss one out and shove lock in

Yes for top box lock.

agree 4 months 7,000 miles already.

Hi All
Re keying lock but am missing a number one pin wondering if anybody has one spare.

Did look at RS but  luggage space, weather protection, heated seats, comfort for wife, better clocks, etc only advantage I could see of RS was cooler in hot weather. In UK no brainer.

Duh the BMW ones leaking!

looks good to me.

I am up for another meet next year and am willing to travel further for good roads/scenery, Happy to go along with majority decission. However weather is always better on sunshine coast(just saying). :not speak:
