Full Speed Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hi Comrades. My first post, new to the site, and soon to be owner of a new to me '05 RT. I've ridden 7 other brands of cycles throughout my 30 years in the saddle, BMW will be my 8th. I discovered BMW autos about 8 years ago, and now won't own anything else. I suppose it was only a matter of time until the company handled my two wheeling duties, too. German engineering is the best in the land. I must admit that I will miss my Road King Custom which the RT will be soon replacing, we've done some good tours together. I'm anxious to enter the world of sport touring though; it's where I belong. Link to comment
SuperG Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Welcome to the board! YOu picked a good ride. There is something about the first batch hexheads- 2005 and on -RT 1200. My 05 has been super trouble free bike so far. (knock on wood). The two finger servo brakes will take some time to get used to, I swear it is next best thing to sliced bread. If you got questions ask away; you won't find a better and more knowledgeable group of people then here on BMWST. Good luck with your new ride. Link to comment
