John in VA Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I finally couldn't resist. Yes BMW Motorrad did it to me again. Just rode home on my new '16 RT, a Platinum Bronze beauty. This is my 5th RT and by far the best. Extraordinary bike! I can't believe I just bought a motorcycle with a radiator. Link to comment
Stbell Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Congrats John. Beautiful bike. I have a 2015 and absolutely love it. Link to comment
Mike Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Very nice! I have a 2014. It's a remarkably competent motorcycle. Link to comment
92Merc Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Congrats! Funny, because this is my first BMW, and I specifically bought it because it DOES have a radiator. :-) Link to comment
Green RT Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Congrats! Funny, because this is my first BMW, and I specifically bought it because it DOES have a radiator. :-) On my first long trip with my 2015 R12R, I ended up crossing deserts in Arizona and California on I10 with an afternoon temperature of 46 C (115 F). Moving, the bike ran at about 90 C, at slow speed, it would go up to 100 C, but no more. Far better than my 1999 RT. Once on it in Las Vegas, I had to park and let it cool off. Link to comment
Fathom Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 2013 here, and just lovin' this bike. No overheating / run hot issues so far, and so far, no radiator envy (though I suspect I'll succumb the next time out). Link to comment
