RT Long Term Reviews

Post by tbmrt »


Hi guys,


I've been working on a small buying guide for the RT and I would love to improve it with some long term reviews from owners. Basically what's good/bad and what you wish you had known before taking the plunge! The aim is to help potential new owners while they are still deciding which bike to go for. Would anyone be up for helping?

Here's a few examples of other long term reviews (near the bottom of the page):

Also any feedback on the site would be most welcome! It's brand new and I'm are always looking for ways to make it more useful.


Kind regards,
Ian

Enjoy every day to the full and treat it as a gift and privilege

So, "great" in a totally incorrect and unreliable way then?

Apologies if I am mistaken, but it appears that a registered company is hoping for FREE input to populate a website, which in some way will generate money for that same registered company? Not the most tempting invitation.

No point looking for faults in near perfection.  Over there of. course most are bought to be dismantled and rebuilt to look like the Blackpool,illuminations.

It strikes me as if it's written by someone who doesn't ride bikes and has just looked through the Internet's for some basic facts. Poorly worded in places, e.g. 'The 2014 R1200RT is powered by a new version of the air/water cooled 1170cc two cylinder boxer engine'.
So what was the original air/water cooled version like? Hang on , there wasn't one......
