Ive fitted one to all my BMW GS's, as it really protects the engine.

Its sure to suit me then being old.  Just have to keep the sun visor down so nobody notices. Hey, you're only as old as the.......you know the saying  ;D I'm no spring chicken at 55, but when my visor is down, i still feel like i'm 25. All the naysayers that slag-off the RT as bei...

I'm really missing my RT, as i think it might be the best bike i've ever owned/ridden (and i've had dozens over the last 38years) I'm currently using a new r1200GSLE, which is ok, but its not a patch...

Hellooo... Just signed up for this new forum, as i'm hoping it might be a good source of info on all things RT. I bought a new fully spec'd RTLE in May this year, and i was lucky to clock-up over 2500miles until the dreaded Recall. My dealer has given me a new R1200GSTE to play about on, but its not...
