Wanted R1250RT
- Thread starter Gstom
- Start date
I was after one about 2 months ago. They seem to be flying out from the dealers like hot cake, especially law milage with good spec. Prices also firmed . The one I was after had less than 10000 miles late 2022, blue, full luggage, radio for around £14000 from the dealer. Chap purchased it before I had the chance to test ride it.
This is true - I'm looking to change up to something more pillion friendly, comfy, with heated seat for the missus and having just test rode the K1600GT and the 1250RT, I can't now find the right RT with TFT, full luggage etc. for me.
They are commanding a premium - if you can find one
Totally not helped by the utter dogs dinner that is the R1300RT
The K was just too heavy and didnt handle as well as the RT or as comfy in my eyes
Anyway, the quest continues

Best bike Ive ever owned. Going better at 37000 miles than new. New shaft at 36k improved smoothness and gearshift.
Hope to get another 36 at least...

Your aspirations are very low .... another 200,000 would make more sense. I have several friends with older K's as it happens .. all around the 250,000 mile mark , and apart from the odd clutch - lots of life left. I enquired two days ago about trading in my 2020 Wing against a Stelvio ..... oh no !! .... came the answer , we would 't even consider a 2020 bike with 41,500 miles on it . (crap ... it's not even fully run in yet at that !) ... I digress ................
PS had a 1200 WC rt ... great bikes !! , 1250 better .... 1300 .... not so sure ?
Ive just changed my 2023 Transalp for a Tiger 900. Dealers quoting very low prices for part ex. Highest mileage one we've seen...14000!
You do wonder how much these dealer boys ride bikes or whether they're under a roof much of the time... I remember book mileages being low but it's a laugh the different bullshit re taking one in and selling one out...
They do seem to want their cake and eat it....sell bikes with the promise of "ride round the world capability and starship mileage"...then suck thru their teeth when you try to trade a bike that may have round the world mileage and tell you "Mileage is a bit high mate...where yer been, Mongolia?" I long ago looked at the smiles per miles and sod the lower trade in price if I'd done more than average mileage. (Main dealers here in France happily sell 21yr old bikes with 50k+ miles on. https://www.adventure-bmw.com/nos-occasions/bmw-1200-gs/)You do wonder how much these dealer boys ride bikes or whether they're under a roof much of the time...

Dealers have a glass ceiling at 40k for some reason , my 8K 16 plate went for 4K 3 years later, and then resold for 7k
Dealers, dealers? SELLING: "Great bike well used and cared for."
"High miles though"
Yeah, but look at the service history and condition, a gem of a bike."
BUYING: " I know it's got slightly high miles, but I use it all year round, and even go on tours. However, you can see its well cared for and the service history is complete."
"Lovely bike but there's a glut on the market at present, so higher mileage bikes aren't really selling/it's an older model, not much call for these now/we'll just trade it out/service history is great but its still done those miles."
Delete/include as appropriate.
They're salespersons, don't expect anything else.

Dealer sounds like....
Thanks for the offer, looks a lovely bike but I am looking for the face lift model.
Good luck with the sale.

John Clark (Aberdeen and Tayside) have a few in stock and a few coming in with folks changing to the 1300RT. Like this - https://www.john-clark.co.uk/bmw-mo...s[annualMileage]=10000&finances[description]=
Seems to fit your bill - but give them a shout.

I've found Cotswold Motorrad (Cheltenham) to be a helpful Dealer. They have a 2022, full spec R1250 RT in White with 3,700 miles. Not cheap at £16,495, but it won't be there too long...
Cotswold Motorrad - R1250 RT
Cotswold Motorrad - R1250 RT
That seems a good deal with approved 2 year warranty, around £4000 less than most 22 plate bikes with lower miles.
I have been dealing with them since 2002 and generally been happy. I bought my new RT from their Aberdeen place
