BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

My 2019 is still on the original. Do about 10k miles a year and use it during the winter, dont know if this helps its longevity .

Sadly David you might not have a lot of luck with this request. Most of the serial attendees are committed Michael's meet up in July. If there's no interest then possibly best to concentrate on the 2025 meet which hopefully the usual suspects will be available for (and some new faces).

It wouldn't happen to be a mate of yours selling this?

My friends just bought one of the new 1300 gs's. Quote to change from his present bike1800 quid then they decided they wouldn't cover him. Got 850 quid with Bennetts in the end.

I'm in the Picos mid may but if your plans change to early May then I'd be keen on meeting up somewhere around the Brecons.

My 1250 RT is very dark blue metallic but the V5 states states black.

Tape it to an old credit card and keep it in my wallet. So I've always got it with me.

Cancelled mine when the bike got to 30k miles as the suspension isn't covered beyond this.
After a poor experience with a potential claim and the fact that the exhaust flap isn't covered it didn't seem good value for money.

OK for August.

Could do that. I'd be happy to join you for a longer ride to germany etc. Might have to come back a bit earlier than you but can plan a solo route back.
July or later works best for me as Ive already got bike trips planned to Spain and France in May/ June.

Thanks for organising.

My rule (as I've got older) is that you can't take it with you.

Had a quick look at the configurator on the website. Triple Black version which has the electric screen and seems to be more road oriented.came in around 20k . This was after adding a couple of the option packs ( dynamic suspension, GPS /luggage prep) and luggage. .Might be worth a test ride when th...

I've used Motolegends price beat promise quite a few times, always been straight forward without any arguments. Just waiting for Sportsbikeshop to do their Black Friday 20% off in November and I'll see if Motolegends will do the the same 10% extra off on a Rukka suit.

Either dates fine with me . 4 nights sounds good.
