This bike is majestic, reminding me of the great sailing ships of yore. I wish you many happy touring miles for the new season on this fabulous machine.

Of course I thought it was going to be a 1300gs. The 1250rt is such a wonderful bike, I tried it for a day here in the alps and it's the best road bike I've ever ridden. Can't wait to see the 1300rt! Well done Toby!

Congratulations on the new RT, Happy New Year Mark & Toby

Ok thanks . I will buy the mount

Hi Toby love your new bike, I was going to sell my 2019 1250 RT but watching your comments on your new bike I'm keeping it I found it completely different than my 1250 GSA , but I have to give it another go . Cheers Matt

Lovely bike Toby enjoy, seriously considering one myself next time…

Toby, I have fitted higher seat (with heating,cheap on e bay) and transformed the riding position. Then you can throw away those cumbersome lower pegs. I live near you, so your welcome to try it. Regards Paul

I picked up a 2017 1200 RT a couple of years ago and I’ve never looked back. The panniers are amazing albeit I do have the inner bags which make life easier for smaller day to day items. I leave them in place unexpanded and secured with top unzipped simple. I digress my RT now has 44k on it with no issues were I to change it I’d likely get another 😆

You need bespoke hard shell bmw genuine bags they are a game changer, otherwise side loading panniers are a pain

That's a beautiful bike mate, exactly how I'd spec one and agree about the panniers, top loaded ones would be ideal for civilians to purchase. Enjoy your bike and Happy New Year when it comes. 👍

Health to enjoy Toby

Looking forward to seeing your relationship with the RT develop. I converted from a decade or so of GS ownership to an RT a year ago and not looked back. Loving the agility, stability and comfort, which are all a step up from the GS. However, visually I think I prefer the GS, but thats more of an emotion!

I expect you will be changing your panniers to a top opening system rather than the side opening panniers fitted to the RT. I seem to remember on an older video of yours about the RT that was something that you really didn't like, and at the time was a deal breaker for you, even though just about everything else about the RT you absolutely love. Anyway congratulations on getting your RT it is a fabulous bike and I am sure you will totally love it. I love mine, it is a wonderful bike. Happy biking.

@RiderCamTV

5 ай бұрын

Totally love it already. Warming to the panniers :)

I only added the tank pads, cylinder head covers and rear crash guards (very easy to install). The handling comparison to the GS or the GSA that I owned both multiple times, is so much better due to the front rake angle and the 17" wheel/tire. This bike makes you feel like you are a better rider instantly. Nice New Year present to yourself. Safe rides. I am not so sure about those Huge Red stickers 😀

So glad its not a GS like all the other youtubers at the moment. Do you know if ACC can be added later if desired? May just be new switch gear and radar unit. I'm waiting for the -Ps to make it to the second hand market and it looked like they had ACC but you've shown it could just be the blanking plate I'd love to see how good the headlights are at night, particularly main beam

Excellent choice! I sat on one at Completely Motorbikes in Hinckley before Christmas and must admit, as an "I'll never ride a BMW" type of guy I was impressed. Seemed way more manageable than its mahoosive big brother the K1600... I look forward to seeing how you get on with it....

Great video Toby...one heads up though. I have an R1250RT too with an innov K5 system but found if I use the bracket on the front as you have, then you may find it may hit the mudguard on occasion. Hard to believe when stationary I know, but just a heads up. I simply velcro'd mine to the exact same position as yours.

Snap, identical to mine, I’m on my forth now over the last 17 years. Yes I disagree about panniers we will leave it at that 😂😂😂

Happy New Year. I've taken your advice the last couple of years. I love your funny reviews. recently I bought DataTag for my new bike only to find it came with it (I got my money back). I got the Hex Ezcan after your review (awesome). I nearly bought a bike after you reviewed the R18 but had my eve on the BMW GS you were riding. However, BMW wouldn't let me try-out a GS with a pillion unless I put £10000 upfront. So I went to Triumph and they let me try a tiger 1200 GT PRO. I picked it up last week. Thanks for the entertainment

Excellent bike Toby. I have the 1250 RT Sport (the blue one) and have loved it. I notice you have mounted your dash cam under the headlight. I also originally placed a camera there but I found that it kept getting hit by the front mud guard. I moved it onto the RH side of the radiator opening. Hopefully yours is short enough to clear the guard.

They certainly are. Loving Alvin 🤣. It’s not foiled against the front mudguard and is well clear. Have you got the ACC? Might be lower?

@@RiderCamTV yes I have the ACC. I don't think there would be any difference between bikes with or without it. Your Innovv camera and mount must be a bit shorter than the one I have.

Panniers Mate. Also the windshield creates added wind resistance as well.

Congrats, nice bike. I have one for test ride on couple months ago and i love it. I hope to change my GS for that one. If you like panniers with top opening there is SHAD two models, 23 and 35 liters with top opening and you can have them with coloured inserts, but on my opinion try first panniers bags... i have FJR with same type of panniers and with bags they wonderfull.. Once again, good choice and i want you lot of safe and happy miles in new year Cheers

Congrats, great bike. have many nice rides with it. I am thinking to trade my gsa for an RT. Happy new year!

Love the RTs but I think my Pan European 1300 will certainly do very well for me, considering I've already done close to 11k miles since buying it in April! Just wish I had cruise control. Out of curiosity, with the Zumos you guys use, do you find it handy to have running even without a route plotted? I'm looking at making the investment after realising how much I don't like phone navigation and the idea of having it as an additional source of info and to help me keep on speeds whilst observing
