Hello, I like those front forks, compared to the newer inverted forks.

In 2007 I went to BMW to BUY an RT. I had looked at them, test ridden them and sold my K1200LT. It was going to be an RT. BUT - my best friend and riding buddy had just returned from a package motorcycle tour of Europe where they had given him a GS for the trip. He came back and told me it was the best bike he had ever ridden. I decided to look at the GS and bought it after the first ride. A Russell Day Long Seat later and it was truly the swiss army knife of bikes. A fun hooligan stripped down, a comfortable tourer with the bags and Russell Seat, a capable all road rider (tarmac, gravel and dirt). Other than true off road - which many of skill greater than mine manage - it is the perfect bike. It has turned me off the full boat tourers like my LT, and the RT I was looking at. I loved my 2007, but really enjoy the 2015 I upgraded to as well.

I bought the GS a couple years ago because it was the thing to do. I thought I would do some BDRs out west. No surprise I haven't yet and probably won't ever get around to it. I'm too old at 59. The RT would have been a better fit for me. But it looks too much like an old man's bike. I love my GS. It makes me feel young again. Go figure.

Beautiful bike, mine is a 2012 I put at least 400 miles a week on it, doesn’t miss a beat. I bought it used, it came with the BMW navigation system, bmw tank bag and police cooling fan, bike is loaded like yours. This is my 6th BMW. Have 5 other makes/models also but this one is my go to and if I could only own or have one, it would be this one.

It's you input shaft vibration dampener. A common boise. Does no harm. There is a shim against a spring that controls torque backlash into the transmission. the shim is a little small. It's a nuisance but not a problem. Mine has done it since about 50,000km. Now at 160,000km. It's most pronounced when the air intakes get out of balance. That's a pretty simple thing to remedy, though. Enjoy the bike - it's nearly indestructible.

Excellent review. I’ve heard bad things about the throttle by wire on this model but not for failing nor breaking but simply because it’s hard for some riders to get used to using while others complain that there’s a slight delay. I still love the bike. Is it hard to get parts or repairs for ot?

Riding a '99 blackbird currently. Thinking about selling it and getting this. There's one on sale at a local bmw shop for 8499$ with 27k miles. Hmmmmm.

@kellyjohna Жыл бұрын

I had a 98 blackbird and it's a truly awesome bike but as you know a different category. That's not a bad buy on the RT. Winter is the time to buy. Blackbirds are getting hard to find though. If your thinking about putting some miles down on the slab (in comfort) then by all means... this is the bike. It's the last one before they started slapping all the electronics on it. I've now hit 40k with this bike and I have 85k on my 2009 GS 1200. The RT hasn't missed a beat once. If your riding in the cold the heated seats (front and back) and heated grips are the only way to go and there's always the cruise control which is flawless. I can't go back to a chain and no cruise control. I have manual one on my GS and I hate it. I'm gonna sell it and get like a 2013 GS or later with Cruise. On a long ride (over 200 miles) cruise control is a deal breaker or maker for me.

Was gonna get a ticket or killed and that's the ONLY reason. It's a fabulous bike ! Traded it for a 2015 Norton Commando which was a mistake. Norton was a rattle trap compared to that bike not even close...No comparison. I paid about 4k more the Norton. Had Capo for about six months and occasionally I'm still perusing Craigslist for another one but I got the deal of a lifetime on that one. It's been about a year now I got it with 1500 miles for $6k (no joke) the bags were scraped up underneath from the boat ride.

Smooth, fast, comfy and considering the power plant, great gas mileage (a nice surprise) and the handling suites me nicely...
