Newbie

Post by Mariecke »

Hi everyone,


New on this site, it was pointed out to me by a member of the Dutch RT forum.


Owner of a 2005 R1200RT, full options. I have owned it for 2 and a 1/2 years and put over 50000 km's on it in that time.


Unfortunately, I have also encountered the many, expensive, problems this model has. (Esa, abs, drive shaft bearing, etc)


At the moment problem free (knock on wood) but hoping to find more info on this forum if needs be.
When nothing goes right, go left...
