New BMW R1200RT
« on: March 08, 2014, 03:19:57 PM »
I've just finished reading a road test on the latest 1200RT. Sounds to be a very accomplished machine which it should be at over £15,000 unless you want the sound system which as an extra is an insane £1050 !

Think how many different airheads you could buy for that.

From an airhead owners point of view, not a user friendly bike for do it your self type owners .

But I  think BMW has gotten far away from the owner doing any type of maintenance on their bikes for some time now !!!!!!!!!!! ;) ;) ;)

My '02 oilhead, is just about beyond any owner maintenance for troubleshooting, with out code readers to plug into the diagnostic port .

I've got a 2006 Goldwing as well as my '79 R65.  The Goldwing is tough to work on for some things on but I don't think is as difficult as the new BMW's. But then it weighs about 900lbs compared to the R1200RT which used to be around 525 lbs.  I don't remember what the new one weighs.
