BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

7500 miles is 12000 kilometers. I would be quite happy with that mileage on RT.

RT tyres are sport touring tyres and IMHO they are not supposed to last much longer.

If the use would be for example coast to coast riding then other type (=harder) might be better choice.

Finally took care of following things: 1. Installed Wunderlich hand guards 27520-303 https://www.wunderlich.de/shop/en/wunderlich-hand-guards-27520-303.html Otherwise OK but right side bracket was in contact with brake reservoir and had to grind it several times to make it fit. Bigger problem is tha...

For me it shows A spec for rear on both Angel GT and Angel GT II.

I ride alone (she does not want to ride) and in cases where a certain spec tyre has been recommended by manufacturer that is what I have bought. I have never had any kind of negative experiences of this.

I believe Pirelli recommends A spec rear tyre for your RT.

Well, it is true that it lacks a bit in the looks department but the 150 hp engine is great. Although Triumph Tiger 1200 triple was even better.

So many nice bikes out there on the market.

...He was riding his newish H/D adventure thing and i mean a thing, a bloody ugly thing. Pan America? Try it some day. It is a big surprise to learn how well it rides. And no, I'm not joking. Anyway, took the old bird out too yesterday. Progressive Suspension front and Öhlins shocks transformed the...

Mine is s 2013 so clutch and perhaps also transmission are different. On this engaging 1st gear it does not produce any sound and neither changing up or down either - smooth as butter, cold or hot. My previous 2014 wethead was different. Dealer prior to sale had changed the oil and had put in some b...

First ride of the season today. Wasn't even very cold, around 11C in the sun.

Drove total of 500 km today to try the suit on. It is a very, very nice product IF you can find the sizes to suit you. My trusty old Rukka suit (must be 15...20 years old) is size 60 and it is slightly loose ie. just perfect. Biggest Sunne jacket they make is size 64 and it was snug. Couldn't find b...

Well, today I tried for the first time one of these AI writers or what ever they are called. What could go wrong, right? So I typed in the classic question: "Why motorcycle is better than a woman." This is the reply I got: Subject: Get on a Motorcycle! Hey! Are you looking for an adrenalin...

I'm interested in getting myself a new touring suit and Lindstrands Sunne might be the one. Anybody familiar with this product? Lindstrands is part of Halvarssons and they are typically very good. https://lindstrandsmc.com/product/sunne-all-weather-motorcycle-jacket/ https://lindstrandsmc.com/wp-con...

At least IV comes:

We may get a fairly warm weekend (around 10°C) and if the rest of the snow melts I will take the RT out.
Looks so promising that I even washed my Rukka suit and Harley jacket today .

After l-e-n-g-t-h-y considerations I chose Roadsmart IV GT.
