"Is the R 1250 RT still the best?"

Could very well be.

However, it is IMHO technically quite complex and expensive so it is unfortunately out of reach for me.

Maybe I'm just jealous...

I've just comeback from the International Classic Motorcycle show in Stafford, they had a Moto Guzzi Breva V1100 there for sale, a 2005 model with panniers and topbox for £3250, I was tempted.

It's probably the best compromise bike. :thumb: after the GS of course ;)
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)

Someone should tell him, the RT got the shift cam engine in 2019, not 2021 :)
