I am a new convert to the BMW method of motorcycle travel. I have just bought a 2,700 mile 2013 R1200RT 90 year edition bike with all the toys. Following test rides on the new water cooled GS, GSA, and on an older 2012 RT to gauge what suited us best for two up touring trips around UK and Europe next year I opted for this model RT. I have to say excellent product so far. Covered 900 miles over the first three days and had to be enticed off the bike for food. I found the GS and GSA great fun but thought that for touring protection the RT would suit me better with its adjustable screen and generous fairing. Best purchase ever.
