Thank you! I'm not the youngest myself anymore, but I'm a little kid at heart, especially when I get my hands on a great motorcycle like this RT.

I'm 65, riding a RT 1250 and definitely not boring. Well at least that's what my wife tells me! 😀 (But all jokes aside, you're right, this is one the very first videos where I recognize my bike the way I ride it... and it's damn surprisingly fast, believe me!) Just got the bike after owning a K1600 for several years, so I know about power! You can't beat the 6 cylinder on sound, smoothness and crazy acceleration but this latest RT engine is damn close, albeit in a completely different manner, with 4 less cylinders. Much more rugged, but maybe more authentic in a way...

Hvala. Video je iz neznanega vira, nastal nekje onkraj naše galaksije, v vzporedni dimenziji in neznanem času. Za njegovo objavo ne prevzemam pravnih posledic.🤫🤐

@@wasnotme Mislim, da to zadnje ne bo potrebno. :)

[@simonvienot]

how about shifter ?

[@wasnotme]

I only had the bike for a few hours and can only give my first impressions. The gearbox is typical BMW, as in other models with a boxer engine and cardan. It works, but you have to get used to it. It's the same with the quickshifter. It feels better at higher revolutions and gears. It's especially agricultural between first and second gear, both up and down.

@@wasnotme thanks. I was wondering to which extent things had improved since the first generation of RT1200 I once owned, which had a slow and VERY agricultural gearbox -- we hardly dreamed about quickshifters at that time.
