BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Guys, I'm looking for some advice on the ideal toolkit I should be carrying on the LC RT.  My previous bike was a Multistrada and I had the kit nicely sorted.  Now I seem to need all these funny torx keys and stuff like that.  I don't want to go to the expense of a Cruz ki...

Sounds like some of you guys need to man-up! I'm commuting regularly from London to Brighton, all toasty-warm and dry with my heated seat and comfort screen. Last Sunday went for a group ride-out down the Surrey/Sussex lanes to Arundel and when we got there, it was warm enough to sit outside for lun...

I'm new to BMW ownership.


I've always owned totally faultless Italian bikes before.

Aside from the usual few weekends around the UK, our big trip this year will be off-roading around Iceland so the new RT will have to wait a little longer before it gets to see its homeland again...

Crikey - no wonder the RT top box is so big!!

Thats a great idea, I may velcro my tire plugger kit and small pump in one of those spaces. I had them in the tail section of my 2012 but there is no room in the 2014. The mesh pockets are an excellent idea. I used to velcro my rain suit behind the pannier liner on my Multistrada.  Only tr...

No bluetooth kit needed at all with the Alpine unit.  Most of us just wire something like an Autocom system into it.  Theres lots of info on this forum about it.  I went back to connecting my Autocom too.  Gave me pleasure to subvert the BMW helmet marketing plot...

Strikes me that we might have different ideas of what counts as "dead easy"!
