BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Getting excited now, just 16 days and I'll be starting my 18 day tour to Norway.

I have competed in hillclimbs for a few years in a car and found that my "natural" shift point on the road is where the torque curve flattens. The addition of a shift light on my car allowed me to appreciate the entirety of what my engine had to offer. Worth experiencing but depends on wha...

Always is.

I'd estimate half the time the lights are on in the morning.

Still on original bulbs on my 2014 rt with 32,000 miles on it.

And I thought I got a good deal!

Indeed!

I have a 2014, no lean angle stuff for abs. Not missed it but then never plan to hit the brakes once leaned over either.

5ft 8" nearly always ride with the screen up about an inch less turbulence but also directs air to the rainx coated visor for a clear view. Tried other settings but lowest setting when I feel like spirited riding helps keep speed down, too high and I look through the screen which reduces vision...

Don't get me wrong tyres are a consumable item if they aren't wearing they aren't working it's just a max of 6000 miles on a PR4 front is dangerously close to a tour distance if you include a period of wearing the tyres in before a tour.

Well despite having just 1500 miles on my latest PR4 GTs I've just taken delivery of these roadtec 01s HWM edition. I've only ever ridden an R1200RT on PR4s so when I do get around to swapping it will be interesting to compare.

Just can't decide, I guess I'll be doing Norway without but I'll miss touring without a "map" pocket for my daily notes!

30k service and new rp4 GTA ready for Norway trip. Love the RT just want it to last forever, 2 years on and still nothing I'd rather have.

I assume the warranty has to be bought prior to the original expiring?

More options... by the time I order the Norway trip will be completed! I would miss the lack of map pocket though.
