Ha ha
that has always been my take on the move to ADV bikes...
Posier, taller in traffic and with suspension able to deal with the modern roads shite... Even in the last few weeks of winter up in Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire there have been holes appearing that make you swerve around them on a GS... 
And they were shite enough before...!

Had a look and after being an RT LC owner there are many similarities... They have a big range of bikes and unusual as a Spanish manufacturer... I'm not a bling biker these days but they certainly are offering a blinged up bike for those that want that and if BMW ever try it you'd imagine a similar bike... So they probably won't...Just came across these guys.
MITT GT-K - MITT Motorcycles
MITT irrumpe por primera vez en el segmento gran turismo con la GT-K, una moto confortable y tecnológica. Equipada con un motor bicilíndrico de 730 cc, es perfecta para recorrer kilómetros y kilómetros con el máximo placer.
Their 800 tourer looks pretty much like I imagine an R800RT would look like.
Shite graphics though.

I think the bikes are built on china and white labelled in Spain. I would like BMW to do an 800RT that’s exactly like the current bike but shot with a shrink gunHad a look and after being an RT LC owner there are many similarities...

I’ll probably end up getting an early 1250 though but we shall see.I thought they might be a Chinese relabel much like BM do... Obviously the way it's going for these types of bikes and it's always the base of the bike and parts availability that helps make a market presence... Weirdly after owning a 1200RT LC it seemed quite small next to bikes it's taken over from like the Pans... Certainly interesting if there were other rivals like the Mitt but ADV bikes are so dominant it'll be market forces that decide...I think the bikes are built on china and white labelled in Spain.

I try for all reasons, all year and my 11GS rigged with gaucho is 3/4 an RT... The LC RT was a great bike and easy to live with but the earlier RTs especially the 1150 were great for use and abuse .. I see the appeal of a smaller RT like bike and especially trying to max the MPG of smaller engines but the smaller you go the more how you use it effect it... MY RTs and especially my present GS run at 50+ mpg whatever and that's pretty good for the bigger engines...
Nice, it looks like it's seen a lot of life!Oh and the big screen on the GS...It's having a few days off...
I had a 1200GS before the RT with one of those screen extender things and it worked well.Yep it's my 5th and only bought because of the screen...Nice, it looks like it's seen a lot of life!
I've had R80/100/1150/1200/1200LC RTs, and K75/100/1100 LTs... I have a lot of time for the RT ethos and if this GS crapped out I'd probably get another 1150RT to flog all season... I'm presently trawling for an old Airhead RT just for the hell of it and to save another from Bobberdom... Just a great all round concept...
