Blueracer791 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hello all, new member here, pick up my new R1200RT tomorrow. As you can see by profile picture I was a racer and have a variety of bikes from a 1958 Panhead to sport bikes. Love all motorcycles but this is my first BMW. Hope to listen and learn here and maybe see you down the road Link to comment

RTinNC Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Another welcome and hope you enjoy your new ride! Assuming you bought it at Motorcycles of Charlotte you are in GREAT hands! One of the best BMW dealers anywhere. Hope we cross paths there as I am in Charlotte as well. Link to comment
Paul De Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Welcome. Your 1st BMW and it is brand new. Way to go, no toe in the water, just jump right in. In MOHO the latest water head version RTs have the fewest idiosyncrasies as far as riding them relative to other makes so there is little need for "adapting" to the bike. Quite a few folks here raced in some form of the sport, so you should be right at home. What bike(s) did you race? Link to comment
ERdok Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Welcome! I’m just up the road from Charlotte - south side of Hickory. You should definitely attend START in Sparta to get acquainted with this great group of riders... Link to comment
RandyShields Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Welcome and hello from another Charlottean. See you on the road. Link to comment
Tennmoto Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I’ve too been through a lot of motorcycles in 45 years of riding. I test road a 06 R1150R last year and bought it or traded my Bonneville for it. I fell at home on it . Handling and feel are top notch and it’s old tech to BMW the BMW club here in Knoxville is made up of older guys like me and that’s fine too. Welcome Link to comment
