Man that is so wild, I just came back from the North Carolina mountains, on my 2004 R1150 RT TOO! It was unbelievable. Just like your video, the ride was over the top. Keep posting trips.

perfect Drive !!!!!! and perfect road :)

[@Pparker99]

I had the same bike, with the same instrument deck and driving lights. Very nice. Finally switched over to a K1200GT-2. Both are fun.

[@minomarazzini]

Beautiful bike! So smooth, a real grand tourer.

[@rjohn102]

Thanks , we've got great roads here in NC..

[@minomarazzini]

I see ;). I've got a R850 RT, I find it great! Does your 1150 make a little "clack" sound at gearchanges, specially downshifting and at low revs?

[@BIWOZ]

Bloody brilliant!!

I road the US 129, aka Tail of the Dragon aka Deals Gap about 7 years ago on my BMW R1150RT... Several times in both directions,. I camped out for two days. I did not hear your foot peg lean feelers drag? Hummm. One of the photo companies got a great shot of me carving a turn twice. The photo shows my boot toe dragging, I push my toe out a little to feel the turn and carving the turn. When all the forces are balanced it is beautiful. The R1150 RT handles well especially with new Michelin Pilots. Still have my BMW but did not ride it last 2 years.... That is going to change.

Yes , you should try HYW 80 to the Parkway , it’s called the Devil’s Whip, goes to the Parkway and from there you can make the loop to the Diamond Back, there in Marion and Little Switzerland. And Lake James can be part of the Loop. I never have drug the pegs in the BMW. And like you I haven’t rode in 3 years or so.

[@rjohn102]

Hello,yes stock exhaust , had remote mic...can't remember if it was in tank bag or my pocket....

[@noostNL]

[@rjohn102]

Thanks, the roads are awesome here..

[@rjohn102]

Have had the K1300 GT on my bucket list for some time , but never rode one yet ...But hopefully will soon...

[@57cpaul]

Who manufactures the instrument deck? What "gadgets" do you use it for?

[@sequeres8574]

[@tomeutw]

[@cap10ed]

[@RobertoRems]

[@OzBloke]

Nice Vid - Thanks!

[@100Fokus]

What did you do with the microphone to suppress windnoise?

[@rjohn102]

Thanks BMOZ...!

[@travissantelmann2557]

Do you still own this bike? I'm from North Carolina to, and I am looking at buying one on eBay.

[@robertmaxwell3548]

Did you fab that mount by windscreen.

[@rjohn102]

No I bought it but can’t remember much about it, but it bolt on. I’ve still got the bike, I’ll take a look at it.

[@lyndonpack8048]

@@rjohn102 Have you ever ridden NC80 from Pleasant Gardens to the Parkway? It's a much better ride. I just got an R1150RT with very low miles going to ride it up 80 and down 226 this weekend. BTW, I live near Lake James.

[@rjohn102]

@@lyndonpack8048 yes I live in PG on Clear Creek 80 was my go to place. I haven’t rode in 3 years though.

[@lyndonpack8048]

@@rjohn102 Why not? Aches and pains? Got those. Just rode this bike back from Canton, Ga this past Friday. Hip pain makes me wonder if I can ride it and have fun. 02 model with 8600 miles on it now. Still have your 1150?

[@rjohn102]

@@lyndonpack8048 not sure why I hadn’t rode , gonna need a battery for sure. I used to ride with the Harley guys but couldn’t take that for long. Lol

[@Pparker99]

Similar, but with about 60 more horsepower. Much more top end.

[@user-uf6sf7yc8n]
