BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Thanks fat and fast looking at 1999 1100rt tomorrow in fastest colour low miles 30 something k Also 2000 st1100 29k miles also heard about swing arm probs on st, but unsure what they were thanks rtman10 but 2000 is quite late on so should be ok how on earth could you check it out? thanks again M

Thanks Levisp and Rtman10,


fancied the 1100rt, I like the looks, but not sure about the easy to fettle bit, abs and fuel injection as stated


R100RT is what I originally thought as RTman10 suggests and still affordable.




Honda ST 1100 had crossed my mind bit more affordable than st1300?

Wonder if someone here could point me in the right direction, been considering a second bike, fancy a fiddle / fettle machine. So question is how far back to go, ie carbs and no fancy expensive electronic module stuff other than electronic ignition. R80RT, R100RT, R1100 RT, R1150RT What about RTP 85...

Andy, According to AA driving in Europe compulsory equipment, headlight deflectors, note 11 this adjustment not required for two wheel vehicles, as the beam pattern is different make of that what you will. PS I have never had a problem on recent trip. loaded with camping gear etc. http://www.theaa.c...

Have a safe day, sorry can't make it this time, damn. 

A while back, I had a 2014 Honda cb500 X from new, build quality down, component quality down, corrosion problems etc,etc.
I was not alone.
OK, not an expensive bike, but my point is that even the mighty Honda, and I am a fan, build to a price, to compete in today's tough market.

what time are you aiming to be there at Barryj ?

You can still fiddle / fettle with your parts, as you wish, with the warranty, but you won't fiddle / fettle a dead electronic computer module back to life for the price of a warranty.

wrap some tape around the screw heads, won't stop them coming loose, but may prevent loss.

Well the BMW comfort seat sure looks the part  8)

Had my T30 EVO GT'S fitted on Wednesday, only had 60 miles of M'way plus a bit of A road, and it was heaving down all the way, so nothing to report but will find out next week on my tour de France. Have heard only glowing reports from users that I Know, and they are a picky lot .  ;D

Thank you David, I was wondering why my inner pad was slightly thinner, after a quick inspection before my next trip.

Good Shout matey, was that the one for sale in Northern Ireland? took a look that on the net, nice looking example, think it might well of been advertised for that kind of  price over here, so hope all goes well with it. Might be worth contacting BMW warranty services if it has full service...

No problem,
As mentioned above, probably very wise to run the pump direct from battery, I fitted another Hella/Powerlet  socket wired direct to the battery through a 10 Amp fuse.

Here you are
