The RT that looks better without the panniers has yet to be built.

The ONLY visually acceptable way to ride an RT is with panniers but without the pizza delivery equipment on the back.

Others will be along with alternative opinions but they're all wrong...
 
Bloody ugly looking thing whatever colour it is...... It's all fat up front and nothing behind it.....
 
I chickened out and bought a triple black GS which I collected today from Williams Manchester

But I work for Domino's..whats a guy to do???
I actually work in the centre of Oxford…now you can try filtering through Oxford traffic but I can assure you that your bike will look like this whether you want it to or not if you have the panniers fitted….so I think it is best to leave them at home!

I swing in and out with the looks..this photo is not great…wrong angle..your right though..sometimes it does look front heavy..but then if you want good looks you wouldn't buy any BMW..the GS is a bloody mess of a bike..looks like a 6 year old was given the remit to design it...

Hi, new here but felt I had to reply as I have a 2017 white RT and love it! I hasten to add I do not have a Polite vest or a horse :)
Mine came with black engine and running gear, and it's Alpine White which is a little cream coloured and really sets the bike off. Can I just say, Police bikes have that hi-viz yellow and blue block paint scheme don't they? So no police bike if you have white!

Does look front heavy though, but rides beautifully.
 
how are you finding 4k to 5k revs? Mine feels really flat compared to my 2014…the '14 used to be incredible in that range in 4th rolling through the traffic..loads of go and really responsive....2017 not so..wonder if they have lightened the flywheel as I seem to be hauling on the brakes way more than my 2014…seems to be less engine braking as well…or maybe I just had an epic engine before… :-)
