RandyShields Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Not sure I understand that. Wouldn't bringing out a new 1300 RT and GS so quickly after launching the 1250 RT and GS potentially limit sales of the 1250s? Link to comment
RTinNC Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 You are probably correct but hey BMW has done stranger things in the past. Didn't they up the K1200GT to a K1300 for like one or 2 model years? Link to comment

walton66 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 different throttle body and exhaust arrangement than the current LC, right? Link to comment

Evening bwpsg42 Rear brake rotor on the R/H side, no liquid cooling, looks like a hexhead engine. I don't know, looks iffy. Maybe for parts of the world where there is lax emission & noise compliance laws. Unless BMW has a magic wand & found a way to make the old 1200 hexhead era powertrain Euro emission & noise compliant. Link to comment
Pappy35 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Yeah. That's just a photoshopped Hexhead. Link to comment
walton66 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 yep, noticed the intake/exhaust first, then the valve cover. Didn't think to look at the rotor and exhaust. Link to comment
RTinNC Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 From the post on the MOA "Three trademarks filed by BMW with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) in 2019 suggest that the M division will crossover to the motorcycle side. In fact, the company has secured the names M 1000 RR, M 1300 GS, and M 1000 XR." Link to comment
realshelby Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 BMW has hinted at this before. Based on the success of the "M" series cars and suv's. Those have at least a higher output engine if not a larger one to start with. Enhanced brakes, suspension, wheels and tires. Typically different body pieces. Increasing the Shifthead to close to 1300 cc, factory Akropovic, maybe different throttle bodies and cams, different tuning would easily allow a 160 hp Boxer "M"! 190 rear tire, carbon fiber wheels, whoopass brakes, and some color unique to the M series. Or two colors if BMW is feeling their oats. I have heard they will come with a WERKS Quiet Ride screen from the factory.... 4 1 Link to comment

Morning RTinNC This would make sense as BMW released info a while back that they were possibly looking into offering M series motorcycles. They are probably just securing the M 1000 RR, M 1300 GS, and M 1000 XR names for future use so someone else doesn't grab those names (on speculation) then BMW would have to buy the rights to use them in the future.

fourteenfour Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 well it would let the recoup costs in the 1300RT comes with a new fairing and dash, use the M bikes to preview the changes to the regular model line. I am just waiting to see what the R1800 tour version looks like and costs, I never expected to hold on to my current bike more than a year if that Link to comment
wbw6cos Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Well if the M series bikes are going to offer more HP and enhanced braking, they may want to source some tires that can withstand it all. Just sayin' Link to comment

Well, unlike a 1300, an 1800 might be just a wee bit too big for off-road! I've decided to keep what I have for now. Or at least until, BMW builds a bike that pushes the right button. I know it's coming... 1 Link to comment

Spent over an hour reading multiple forum threads recently on halogen bulb replacement alternatives. Guess what? Bought another Sylvania knowing it will go out in exactly half a year. Link to comment
mickeym3 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 TFT maybe, Apple CarPlay doubtful, they want to be the final adopter in the industry. Link to comment
Sailorlite Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 The RT is the only 2020 BMW model to be offered with a $1K factory discount plus free big top case. To me this seems prudent of BMW if they plan to replace it with an R1300RT or even an "M" version in the next month or two. Any new true rumors out there? Link to comment
92Merc Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 From the rumors I've read, the M is a 1300. 1250 is going to stick around as is for now. Link to comment
wbw6cos Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Where in the that link is the relevancy to the this thread topic? I did not see it. Not sure. Link to comment
Bernie Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I thought for sure that the R1800RT will be the next model introduced. Sorry no pictures, my grandson is busy making drawings. Link to comment
