RHS exhaust End pipe looks like its been taken off a K1600GT... Not clear, but the frame also looks like a K1600.

Hmmm now why place the bike there, when there are press releases all curated to show, the bike at its best..... And then we have that background shot there....

Gets the desired effect

Just spotted a new 1300RT in France.
Looks good but had small panniers on,maybe an optio

Panniers are small, full faced helmet doesn’t fit. According to a chap are about 1/3 smaller than on the 1250RT even when fully extended . One reason he is keeping his.
Bizarre. Used to have the City panniers lids when not touring. Was a simple conversion to full size panniers.

Had a sit on one a week or so back, still too cramped in the legs for a touring bike

Looks great though

You must be a big unit.

32” inside leg, I just find that on the RT they are folded up far more than on a GS for example, 1200/1250 was the same

High seat? I think most people will take issue with the panniers. Can’t see options yet from Givi or Shad. Top box ridiculously expensive.
