Yeah. First post in a new section and from an RT owner too :D
 
If BuMW had put an RT seat on the GSA I would probably still have one of those. Still, I'm delighted with the RT.
 
My rt calved on the way home tonight. Thought some blighter spiled diesel on the road outside my house. Had a bit of a monemt turning into my drive rode down drive turned bike switch off hop off open garage turn round to see a large pool of oil under bike. Get some old newspaper and see that the oil is pissing out somewhare from the sump. Ring Mondail and bike will be collected tomorrow. I only have it 4 weeks. Went from a 12gsa to a f800st which I found to be a cracking bike but I like a BIG machine so I choped in the st for the rt. Just filled it on the way home 52mpg.
Are we still tossers??? JJH

RT Section

Here we are. Me and my RT. 06 Model. 64,000 kms of smiles so far.
I like reading about everything GS related but prefer to ride an RT.
Having said that I'm renting a GS ADV for a week in Andalucia in early October. Will be I be converted by the time I get back? We'll see. :)

Typical.........................a bloody new section created...............just when I've sold mine:blast

I'd love a new TwinCam 2010 R12RT;)
 
Another ex GS rider now on an RT. Nice to have a dedicated section.
 
I love my 1980 R100RT...

So much so that I'm selling my 1150 Adventure...

Sure it's slow, crude, wobbly and old... :augie

But it makes me happy every time I ride it too :D



p.s. - Andres, thanks for the photo:thumb2

Me Too

Having rode GS's for a number of years and fancy a change I thought I would go for a RT, 10 months ago.

Well Its a great bike and having travelled all over Eroupe and Norway this year Its a fanstatic tourer..................Yes I still look at "GS's" and ask myself have I made the right decision, but I had to try it.

Its been 100% reliable :blast and really economical and handles remarkably well for its size.
