realshelby Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Probably not a better BMW to "drink the Koolaid" with. So far it looks like BMW has done a very good job with engineering the new RT series. While there are those with a few niggling problems, I don't hear of ANY final drive problems or really anything that is major. With the performance, features, and overall quality of this bike I hope we are on the bike that will make us want to keep a BMW around for a long time. Link to comment

Stbell Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Congrats! Beautiful bike. Just curious, what kind of accessories you planning on installing? Link to comment
zenwhipper Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Just wanted something different from the FJR world. The FJR is a fantastic bike and new the Gen has many improvements and enhancements. But the RT is, for me, the next step in my riding style. And so far... the bike is amazing! Link to comment
zenwhipper Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Congrats! Beautiful bike. Just curious, what kind of accessories you planning on installing? Stay tuned... but at the moment I have the Touratech Crash Bars mounted and also a new custom seat from Rich's Seats. Posts to follow. Link to comment

Fathom Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 That's a very cool looking bike -- the graphics make it look like it's moving when it's standing still! Link to comment
yellowledbetter Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Congrats! I had an '03 FJR and 75K miles on it before switching to my '07 RT. After putting 112K miles on the RT I wanted another, but the initial rear shock issue had me waiting too long to take possession of the '14 RT I ordered so I bought another FJR instead. After 22K miles on the FJR I was already bored, so picked up a '16 RT just like yours a few weeks ago. Loving it! Link to comment
