  Did you rent this bike from Riderly shop? I know this street. I was there last week. I am sure you met Carlo. I did rent GS1250, not the new one. I am still trying to figure out the latest model. greating from saudArabiabia

  You'll find your machine will comfortably take 5th gear at 45mph on such flat, straight roads, most of the time you had it in 3rd - at least my 1200 does. You'll get better gas mileage.

  Hi Beams just annoy the oncoming traffic. The bike has daytime running lights and they are plenty. Low beams if you must but high beams still blind oncoming traffic even in full daylight.

  There is a difference between the bike being to big too commute and liking a smaller bike for commuting. I commute heavy city traffic on a K1200GT, it by no means is too big. For heavy stop and go traffic, my Moto Guzzi is better suited, but that doesn’t mean the other is too big

  I don't think it's too big for a commuter, I have a 07 ST 1300 PA police with all the crash bars and everything on it and she's a heavy girl she's big but I have a similar commute, and I don't think that she's too heavier to unwieldy for just that. I would just get more used to the weight do a lot more slow speed work in a parking lot somewhere and just get really used to how the balance is

  The RS is a great bike. It can be molded into a sport bike or a tourer. The engine is the same as the RT, but the overall bike weight is less. If touring comfort is your thing add a touring screen, panniers and bar risers good to go and for quite a bit less money than the RT.

  Hello, good description of RT. I just purchased a 22 last weekend. Prior to that I used a K1200RS and at first I removed the side bags. However I put them back on and feel very comfortable with them. I believe the width is the same and as noted in another reply, the police use them, so will I. I practice weekly w slow maneuvers, Uturns, emergency stops at a variety of speeds as well serpentines at various speeds. Stay safe and enjoy the new bike.

  Thanks for sharing! After two months of owning a bike I'm definitely more comfortable with it, it does not feel that big any more. I think it's great you practice slow speed maneuvers and stops, it's important to keep those skills sharp. I've done some police cone riding training before and also enjoy some parking lot drills!

  When the traffic comes to a crawling speeds and if the wind stops, unfortunately on a bike you start feeling the smog. In a car you have the choice to circulate dry air in the car which can be equally bad. The best scenario would be to avoid freeways alltogether and commute on some desolate 2 lane roads even if it takes more time. Of course in pitch dark your mileage may vary.

  I hardly ever use the panniers. Even on tours. Top box is always on and covers all my luggage needs. Why are you driving 40+ mph in 3rd gear? I would already be in 5th. My prefered short distance commutor is my BMW C-evolution. The RT is more for fun

  I think you should try riding a stock RT, it should feel better than 660. And then with a tall seat and lowering footpegs your knees should get comfortable. You might get a bigger windshield too.

  Great video and review. I, too, live in the Bay Area (SF) and ride a. 2021R1250RT. I would agree with all of your points. This is my third BMW; first was a 2007 K1200GT and then a 2009 K1300Gt. I put 130K miles on the 1200 and 119K miles on the 1300. I would say that 90% of my riding was in California and most of that was in Northern CA. I commuted a lot on those bikes and loved every minute. I sold the 1300 this past August, because it had a multitude of problems and they would have cost me a fortune. So, I opted to get rid of it and buy something else. I took the R1250Rt out for a ride and fell in love with it. The lower center of gravity, the power (for a twin), and the size of the bike were all advantages for me. That, and I could ride long distances with my wife on the back. I retired this past October so I haven't ridden as much, but if you are up for some rides, let me know. I can easily come out to the East Bay!

  MOMENTUM!!! 99% of all rider challenges. Use the engine to raise the RPM's and use the clutch as a launching mechanism; stay balanced and launch your bike right up and through the obstacle.

  Great video! As a C rider that just moved up to B, I agree with you. Balance is key, and practicing it in all conditions is super important. Doing drills in the garage, as well as super tight figure 8s and such, has really helped me. The other aspect is traction. Getting it and maintaining it. The hardest part of hard enduro is that there is often a lack of space to get momentum easily, so you have maximize traction on the few inches you have. I think tackling the same obstacle over and over is key to practicing like a pro. Most amateurs will do a thing until they get it right, pros will do it until they can’t get it wrong. I’ve been doing this recently and noticed a big difference in my riding.
