First thoughts BMW R1200RT LC 2015 : 2016

First vlog on the new bike. Moved from R1200GS LC to R1200RT LE LC 2015 but 2016 model. Not that they've changed anything - lol. Really happy with it so far. I've only done around 350 miles on this one. Still awaiting the better weather. Will do a separate walk around and ride video about the bike when there's a better day, someday soon...

Thank you very much for watching my video on GadgetsandWheels. If you liked it, please don't forget to subscribe for more in the future.

Test rode one of these last month, I love this bike and can't wait to eventually get mine in Spring.

Just bought one brilliant bike, sold a r1100rt, after 7 years love the new one

Nice bike and video. The r1200rt is always one of my favorite bikes. Someday I hope to get one.

Hi G&W, Can't believe the Adv has gone :-( I am intrigued that you got rid of GS due to poor build quality/bad support from BMW but you went and got another BMW.... Lovely bike though, love the way you can answer the phone while on the move.

Would you believe I've just ordered the GSA but your bike is a lovely colour - the blue does look very good 👍

Great video, but I must admit I think I would have gone into the griffin and called it a day, or turned left at the crossroads and done a circular via Delph or something. All the best. :)

Glad you decided to put garage petrol in your bike as supermarket petrol especially TESCO petrol killed my bike with the Ethanol they put in it .Cheaper petrol is not the ideal way to go as i found out

Bloody adventure rider my arse. LOL
A wee bit of wind and rain and he takes the van. Nice bike, did they do a free swap?
I think that's water in the mic connection at the end, mine gave up due to that.

I love this bike, but the only thing hate is the speedo, so hard to see what speed your doing, BMW Need to upgrade the clocks but i'm still going to buy

Great review. With regards to riding in the wind, after I'd done a day's training with i2imca.com (I haven't any connection with them) where they teach you stuff like riding in bad weather etc. I cannot recommend the machine control day 1 enough. I've been riding since 1980 and the course blew me away! We were loaned the RT before we collected the K1600 GTLE and because I was excited at the prospect of riding the GTLE, I guess I didn't like the RT. However I am warming to the bike now. I'd definitely get one when the time comes to part with the K1600. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, you have Texaco stations in the UK? I guess that's no diff than all the BP stations here. I've thought of trading my Pan for an RT but am leery of too much tech that will be a constant source of agro.

[thebunnyrun]

Nice shade of blue, looks like San Marino Blue, is it?

[thejediukuk]

guessing they would not repair the gs for you a 2nd time
i was up at baitings dam about 4 or 5 week back

[MrBradfordbiker]

why is the nose cone grey, the tank blue and the rear box another color?

[SirJon]

Got mine on oct 31st. Due mainly to weather I've made just 1300km. Wonderful machine except for the gear that is ridiculous on this class. Too many cluncky clanks...

[cruellordsoth]

so you did not like the R1200gs? this bike is more of a road bike

[MrDuhfactor]

Would BMW seriously not repair that suspension problem?? You've got to be kidding me! Someone pays 25 grand for a bike, and they should be giving you a back rub every time you walk into the
