John from Colorado, USA

Post by Big_John »

I've been a BMW aficionado for a while and owned several, but today I took ownership of my first R1200RT. Found a 2007, garage queen, with only 13,800 miles and here's the best part.... Yeah baby, it came with a Russell Day Long Saddle. Upon getting her home, I promptly dumped the engine oil, transmission oil and final drive oil. I replaced with Mobil1 15w50 and 75w140 SuperTech full synthetic.

I live in western Colorado and the riding is completely amazing.

Welcome to our site. Blue 07 models are the best. They are easier to fix due to the lack of fancy electronics in the newer bikes.
Trust me I am a retired Doctor and lecturer at Oxford University of Structural and Mechanical/Electrical engineering.
May the shaft be with you
