It's interesting that Sena voice commands on our 50S headsets work fine for me but not for my wife. She can't even change the volume by voice command.

My last bike was an RNineT a wonderful bike that handled really good I am an old man and it freaked people out that I had no chicken strips on the BMW such a great bike the only reason I got rid of it was I got stage 4 lung cancer and my doctor said I would die with it and about two years of chemo and I beat it it’s been about three years since I beat it and I am getting stronger so after I get strong enough to pick one up I’m getting the R1250 RT I love that bike and want some luggage compartment so I can go wherever I want I’ve been retired since I got cancer and I am ready for a new bike

Why are you riding it in a place like that?

Have an email i can get some info?

What swing arm, pulley size and front end part numbers? Thanks

Seems like you just discovered water cooled, high revving engine....something BMW in K series has been doing for decades and Japanese manufacturers for over 70yrs.... HD is just tail end of tech that has been around for Loooooong time

Looks cool bike-mint

Great review. Very helpful in making my decision as I’m leaning towards a new RT coming from a GSA. I’ve subscribed.😊

Bruh . I don’t know if anybody else noticed but that was the most lackluster , half - ass effort to attempt to do something I ever seen . It’s like when I tell my teenage son to go do something . Do better .

Works ok i guess for the lighter emoto bikes like surron/talaria. Still heavy to use foot lift and doesn’t provide a smooth lowering procedure, it just slams the bike down. Paid $55 for mine when a normal box stand is about $45.

Who cares about the bikes.....the conversation was the thing I enjoyed the most. Great to hear a bunch of guys doing what women struggle to do: Have a laugh.

Harley trying so hard to get younger buyers.....LOL!

It will destroy your rear! The seat is a Joke! Also, the rear suspension is garbage!

Question, what's the hole used for in the center of the stain? Is that just to change oil or something else?

As an 83 year old rider who is not as tall as he used to be this bike fits me for a glove. I've had a 2021 S for a couple of years now and I love everything about it. Got 2 brothers 2 into 1 exhaust and a rear fender eliminator kit. Mustang seat too. With that small gas tank you're gonna stop every 100 miles or so... but you're gonna love every mile. btw it's faster than snot. Thanks for the video...

RT"s Are the best imho BMW"s are second to none !!! Great Vid

ITS NOT BETTER, JUST DIFFERENT.

That is possibly the least attractive bike I've ever seen. The heads and mufflers are bizarre

I’m 5’8 and this bike will fit perfectly with what I need tbh

Traded my 2014 for my current 2019 R1250GSA. I do still miss the RT. Now looking at a 2024 RT (police white). Difficult to match the comfort & handling of the RT. Life is short. Ride what you like.

I still can't figure how to use the maps or how to reset the clock.

All this technology and digital displays.......awful.

Rock Moto

Going to pick mine up tomorrow! Can’t wait

I miss your TH-cam videos, I would love to know what you think of your RT after 2 years of owning and riding it .

Great bike when it works... but certainly not reliable (look up issues with cam chain tensioner/engine)

I'm sure it's a great bike. But for me it's too expensive. There are plenty of great bikes for 10K that I would enjoy just as much.

Loved the footage and tutorial. Question on the manfrotto clamps. When using two clams, do you have the ability to swivel the selfie stick or does it always have to be perpendicular to the pipe/bar you’re mounting the clamp to. For example, you have the two clamps connected to the bar next to the rear seat. Rather than extend the selfie stick straight back could you have rotated up or down? Thanks advance!

By the way, Jed, I noticed that the 1st gear on the RT is pretty darn tall and getting the bike to move from rest is bit tricky compared to all the Japanese bikes I have owned. The friction zone seems to occur on the last bit of the clutch release. Could you comment on whether the 1st gear on the GS/GSA is similar to the RT or are they geared differently?

Older guys have to start stretching

Funny enough, as a taller guy at 6'2", I feel like the bars are at the perfect position for me to just relax my arms and they're there. I was worried about it at first, but it's actually quite comfortable. More comfortable than my old sport bikes that's for sure.

Hideous. Y'all? WTF!

I had ‘94 Sporty which was nothing like this😂🎉 it was $5600

Windshield and a backrest and you'd be fine

Been to Big Sur a few times but not on 2-wheels. One day ... I'll do it. You are an inspiration. How's your RT doing? May be you can do a 2 year owner's review. That'll be helpful.

Jed you should try being a “hippie” for a while. You might like it.

Is it still working good after 11 months? ty

You are shot. I’m 65 and am looking to buy.

About as old school a new bike as you can get- I love it for that reason.

How do you like it with the twin cam on the stock tranny ?

I suggest my American brothers and sisters to check out ADM in Quebec Canada. I could not believe that they were actually cheaper than CB

Thanx4post

to haul a TimeOut Deluxe and mount a premium side car; go with the 6 cyl. for perfect combo backroad redwood forest paradise touring (my daily commute) i’ll stay with our rt

thanx4post. the 2008 r1200rt , purchased 2023 w/30,000, is my ‘first’ (road ‘trail’ & 175s ‘dirt’ bikes in 1960s) motorcycle. primary drawback for me are the Stock Mirrors. Michelin road 6 are a dream. it does rebalance/reupright it self hypereasy.

rt is a person magnet; as are all bikes, ESPECIALLY BMW😊

This was fun

Sounds Awesome!!

I test rode one and was shocked at how good it is.
