Just had a few days in Paris with the family. What’s interesting is just how many RT’s are around - they must be one of the most common big bikes. Whereas we view them mainly as a grand tourer, the French have them down as the ultimate city bike. I can kind of see why too, my commute has gone from 10 miles on a dual carriageway when I bought my R1200RT to 3 miles through town and I must say, it’s good at it. It’s wieldy, filters fine (without panniers), has great presence and weather protection. I was thinking I should sell it for something smaller, but at 83k miles it’s not worth much and if it’s good enough for Parisians it’s good enough for me!
Cheers!
