@Doug Goodenough thank you for your kind comments, glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you enjoy your RT, ride safe

Thank you for your comments. Good luck with your search for a nice RT. Ride safe

@Jonathon Ashby Thanks Jonathon, i hope you enjoy the RT. I have an 18 plate as well, but cant bring myself to sell the old twin cam, its still such a great bike! Ride safe

@@MotorcyclePWR little update for you! Collected the 1200rt yesterday from Birmingham and rode it back to Cumbria (Lake District) and oh my god what a bike! Cheers once again your video helped me choose!

@Jonathon Ashby thanks for the update, glad you are enjoying your new bike and also that the video helped. Which model year did you get? All the best

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it, yes please, feel free to watch more! All the best

thank you! RTs are great bikes. The reliability seems various, a lot of luck involved I think! LOL, yes some people do drive a bit too quick on single track roads dont they!? Its the "im the only one on the road" syndrome i think!

@MGman100 they are surprising given their apparent size, glad you had a ride out. It would be good to try the liquid cooled too!

@drewmorg many thanks for your kind comments, all the best

This is a twin cam engine. The production has been only for 2 years (2010/2012) and the value is of 10000 usd at minimum. If has low miles , pheraps 15000 usd too. Is the better boxer of all the times. Try to do a google search usino DOHC ENGINE r 1200 rt 2010/2012

thank you , yes i bet, Im used to it over here! All the best

Thank you, yes nice bikes!

@Jade Smith thank you, glad you like yours too, Ride safe, all the best

Hi, thanks for your comments. I found my GS geared differently so would be interesting to ride an RT with a GS box! We all have different styles of riding, surprised it broke the shaft. Oh yes, Ive done training in town in the summers, not much air moves does it!! I always run Bridgestone BT 023 GT, but might try something different next time. All the best

@Jasper Wetting hi, these crash bars are BMW "Authority" model crash bars

I haven’t ridden the older bikes for about 30 years so memory a little dim! But certainly they are more modern. Also the 2014 on rt s are a step ahead again

Hi, thanks for your comments, no not a stupid question. To the eye it looks like an rtp. It is an SE which i fitted the rear boxes and crash bars to. I recently sold the bike and converted back to factory dual seat. You are right that rtp models have slightly different transmission ratios. I have ridden rtp s a while ago but couldn't give you a sensible description of differences ! Glad you like the videos, all the best

@@MotorcyclePWR what made you choose to convert one instead of buying an rtp if i may ask? I can imagine it takes quit some time and effort to get it al converted. The crashbars and such aren’t for free either. You did a good job thats for sure it looks exactly alike👌🏻

Thank you, yes it did require some work but I enjoy doing it. I had purchased p models in the past but wanted the se extras this time. But i rarely carry pillion and the small radio box is ideal for my work radio and extra kit as im not a fan of big top boxes. Then someone kindly donated the slim panniers so i put them on as i dont need big touring ones.

From my experience Fjr is a great bike with a powerful engine, but rt has better standard screen, is lighter, handles better and better mpg. But that’s just my view/ experience!

Hopefully many thousands more if looked after. Many have done over 100k

@bikerted thanks for your question. So an RT-P is the Authority version, built I believe at the Berlin factory and has a number of differences to the standard bike. So specifically on the RT up to 2013 (non LC) the RTP lacks heated seat, dual seat in most cases, cruise control, some on board computer functions. It does not have ESA but manual suspension, non adjustable at the front but the rear shock is adjustable for firmness and rebound. It is fitted with front crash bars, usually has the fixed slim panniers with the crash bars rather than the removable touring panniers, a rear radio box, has a different ratio final drive, has a screw on the throttle grip which can be used to keep the throttle fixed or to drag more, and a second battery fitted in the front "glove box" with an extra wiring loom for the emergency lights and sirens. Different mirror pods with a recess in them to allow the mounts for the front emergency lamps. There is a different bracket on the handlebars to bolt the emergency lighting switch clusters to. They usually have a fan for the front oil cooler which standard RT's dont have. Some authority specs vary according to the order made by the purchasing department. So typically SE spec gives you, heated seats, ESA, cruise control. I hope this helps, best regards
