NeilCW Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hello all, just purchased a 2002 R1150RT last week, great bike! Been away from riding for many years, I did take the MSF course to refresh my skills. Bike has 20K miles and the maintenance has all been kept up. Past owner had the service done and new Metzeler's installed before he sold it to me. Only mods are Corbin seats and a Remus Titanium muffler. Hope to learn much more about it here on this forum Cheers Link to comment
Quinn Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Welcome. Lot of good info in the M/C FAQ section. Learn to do the oil dance to check oil level; I found that strange on BMWs. And watch out for the tall first gear. ---- Link to comment

kmac Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I love the R1150RT look, beatiful bike. Welcome Neil, enjoy the forums. It has been very helpful for me. Even the contradictory opinions have given me places to look at to find my own answers. Link to comment
NeilCW Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Thanks for the warm welcome. Beside that BMWs are great bikes, I like the people who ride them as well. I'm already used to the tall 1st gear, actually prefer it that way. Brakes are another story, but getting used to them. Link to comment

KeithS Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Welcome. Nice bike. I think the 1150RT is the best looking bike ever made by BMW. I am biased though. Link to comment
