Re: Confession...
I think you hit the nail.... The efficiency of stopping is superb ... May be that's my problem... ::) I am not used to a sharp and immediate stop...??

Re: Confession...
Have done figure 8 with the tennis balls with larger bikes as well. With the RT just figure 8...
I have no problem with riding or when in motion...only the stopping is a little un- stable... But I am improving ..

Re: Confession...
I wouldn't do that..I am ( was) pretty naive and uneducated...!!
My inside leg is 30", when I wanted to order the OEM lower seat- I was surprised that the Dealer recommend Sargent !!
PS. I am wondering how the GB break up will affect the prices of new BMW

Re: Confession...
It's the swaying ....when I stop...may be it is me- need to strengthen my Adductors muscles.. .
The lower seat will help my stability- so I will be able to put both feet completely down flat, to reduce the swaying.
It's a 2016 with original seat.

Confession...
As a newbie to BMW r1200rt style , I'd like to share my own experience (after riding cruisers for over 16 years) The ride is phenomenal... But I found the stopping really challenging...I guess it has to do with the higher gravitational centre- as opposed to the lower one in cruisers and touring bike...

Re: Mileage for new..
I read the Handbook, except I am away and don't remember if it was after 1,000 km. Or mi.
And I don't want to extend my trip any further....!?!? Not sure if it's so critical....?? :wonder:

Where is the Seat...?
Based on the recommendations here, I ordered a seat from Sargent 3 weeks ago.
I phoned today to inquire about it, they could Not find the records or where and what ...!? :grave: .... Do I have a reason to worry...? Anybody had a similar experience ... ???
