Don_F Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Having moved to the RT from R850R I have a soft spot for the naked bike. see pics of it's replacement http://www.r1150r.ch/ Link to comment
gettysburg Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 If this bike had been available when I purchased my RT, I probably would have gotten it instead. The RT has a little too much wind protection in the summer. From the photos, it looks like it has a steering damper installed on the left side. Link to comment
Don_F Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 I loved my old 1995 R850R but not as much as my new rt. It's a much better bike, but then the r1200r has all the new technology. I'll keep judgement on it's looks until I see one in the flesh. I don't think I'd have waited for it though. Link to comment
Don_F Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Some R1200R details I've noticed, The tyres seem to be a new pattern Michelins, I use to ride MEZ3 and $'s but much prefer the BT020's I have now. There is no pillion grabrail! Just a seat strap, enless you buy pannier rails. Hydrolic Clutch from the RT as well as the same rt panniers? although it's got a kick up exhaust so there may be a cut our. Link to comment
