I hope it does not cause people to keep buying more bikes. Not there is anything wrong with that. I think with CoViD-19 dropping us old farts like flies, unfortuntately there will be a lot of bikes making it to Craigslist shortly. Damn stupid virus! Link to comment
RandyShields Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Just read an online article about the plague killing mountain lions in Yellowstone and other parks. Yes, that plague that wiped out half of Europe in the 1300s. I didn't know it is still around, and claiming humans and animals still. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2020/04/plague-cougars-yellowstone-bubonic/ What a dangerous world we live in! I guess I will just go out and ride my motorcycle. It seems a lot safer these days. 2 Link to comment

AZgman Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 That R1150RT has been well cared for! 1 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 The good ones go quick, that 1150 is gone, I assume. Pretty easy in for a low mileage Wethead RT. 2016 for $10,485.00 Why not $10,500 PS... If anyone is really interested in this bike ask for Chris Pearl in sales. Eldon Richards in service is an awesome mechanic also. They are both carryovers from the SecondWind BMW dealership closure. I get no kickbacks or even a single brownie point. Link to comment

wbw6cos Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I read the specs showing it has 173 hp. Wow. It also stated the top speed was 125 mph, but the speedo shows 190 mph. I am sure all those mods will up the speed a little. What is the real capability of the top speed, anyone know? Link to comment

A little better than 125. If my math is right 167 to be almost exact. Link to comment

wbw6cos Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 @TEWKS I was told there would be no math in this thread. I sort of figured the stated top speed was from BMW, (blah, blah, blah) yet the speedo says otherwise. *wink, wink. nudge, nudge* 1 Link to comment

Laney and I once had ours up to 165 or so. Second gear at the rev limiter was north of 110. 5 Link to comment

Rinkydink Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Went to pick up the MOA mags. I’m letting them “rest” for 24-48 hrs like a good social distancing guy should. I met Glen who owns a ‘12 and ‘15 RT. Very very nice guy who lives less than 6 miles from me. Pointed him towards forum. Hopefully he will join up here. I’m glad I did, otherwise we might not have met. 1 Link to comment
