Thanks for the kind words and congrats on your GSA. I think I might go for the GSA Rallye myself. Congrats again and have many safe miles.

You asked who this day and age needs a radio when we have Senas… Cardos, whatever. I’m about to buy this bike, and I’ll tell you why I’m excited about the radio… I’m constantly charging my brand new Bluetooth, because I take my Africa Twin on long rides, and music is hard to hear (with the JBL upgraded speakers in one of my helmets) and it destroys battery. In all 3 of my units. The package says 8-14 hours music… nope, more like 4 hours music, 4 hours talk.

@Peeohtrek 2 жыл бұрын

Sounds like there might be something wrong with your Sena. Mine lasts 9 hours easy. And the music is loud and crisp. It’s not even on max volume. Congrats on the new bike, I hope you have many, great rides. Cheers.

@MaartensTravels 7 жыл бұрын

You can pair your Sena SMH5, 10 or even 10s or 20s to the onboard radio. It comes with Bluetooth. To make the radio switch to Bluetooth, simply turn off the speakers via the bike's menu (not mute). That way you can listen to the radio using your headset.

Thanks, I'll give it a try next time i'm out riding ob that bike. Cheers!

If you have not gotten a SENA yet, make sure you get the 30K. It is terrific.

Enjoyable video,thanks for posting,almost forgot,the bike comes standard with a quick shifter both up and down changes are seamless.Try it next time you ride one.

@2WheelSolo 7 жыл бұрын

That's my bike! Great review. I also came to the RT after a dual purpose bike (2013 R1200GS) so I completely relate to your comments about the panniers and bars, but you get used to the bike real quick.

@Peeohtrek 7 жыл бұрын

+2WheelSolo Exactly, it only seems strange because you're used to a different placement. In no way is it bad or uncomfortable. It becomes the norm very quickly.

what about vibrations on this bike? is it at the highway revs or lower? thank you

@Peeohtrek 2 жыл бұрын

I must say that they year's boxer engine wasn't very vibey, from what I remember. At lower RPMs I remember is tended to shake a little but once you got up in the higher RPMs it smoothed right out.

@Peeohtrek 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks, Compared to my last two bikes (KLR and F800GSA) it's a monster. It just pulls! Compared to a 1200GS, It's very similar. 125HP on Both. The beauty with these boxer engines is that you can load them up with gear and it hardly makes a difference. Cheers!

I recognize all the areas you drove through. I haven't driven over that new Burgoyne bridge yet. I assumed (for some reason) that you were of Polish descend but when I saw you getting a 24 of beer flavoured water, I changed my mind (just kidding lol cheers).

I like 'em heavier beers but my own brother (flesh and blood) drink Corona so I should make fun of anyone drinking not so heavy beers. When I get a KLR I will let you know. Perhaps we can take a ride along lake Erie to Erie, Pa.

The RT is definitely one of the best! Super comfortable and full of tech. I’m in Ontario and this was recorded in Burlington and Grimsby! Greetings from north of the border!

Hello, I bought mine a month ago, is 2017 , but is keyless, honestly I prefer with key but here in Mexico the R1200RT is keyless since 2016

@Peeohtrek 7 жыл бұрын

We have had the keyless ride for a while also.This particular bike was a demo at our local dealership. It was missing the keyless and gear shift assist. Still great though.

This is a great review. Your funny; and i love that the bike can hold a 24 pack! lol. What is dynamic mode?

@Peeohtrek 7 жыл бұрын

Colby Stewart Dynamic mode is one of the riding modes the bike comes with. the others being Road and Rain. Since the bike is Ride by Wire you can have different throttle response modes. in Dynamic mode you get instant throttle response. In the Rain mode you get a more gradual and controlled throttle response. Road mode is somewhere in the middle. Also, thanks for the kind words.

@2WheelSolo 7 жыл бұрын

Dynamic is insane. I ride the bike on 'Road' which is the slightly more 'laid back' mode. Put the bike into dynamic you not only get immediate throttle response but it changes the suspension settings to make them stiffer as well as adjusting traction control and ABS setups. It makes the bike much more aggressive. Personally dynamic scares the hell out of me :)

Honestly, for the longest time I thought that that was also the case here in Canada. Recently someone told me otherwise... This individual was not someone who seemed familiar with traffic laws. Hence my confusion.
