I've developed a early winter trawl for an 1150RT... What's wrong with me...
I sold 1100/1150's for a couple of years at a BM place and still have a soft spot for the RT... Over the years BM wise, I've had 4x11GS's, K100, K1100LT's, K75LT, R80RT and R100RT and R and R1200RT hex, and rode all the range when selling them in the early 2000's, usually as company bikes...
My R12RT hex was a good bike with all the toys but didn't quite light me up... I've also had sports bikes before BM's, Other mid and big bikes during BM's and latterly an ST11 and ST1300, now as a sole bike...
I am 6'5" and for some reason, can't get totally comfy on the ST13... It's a great bike that does most of what I want but the screen set up, even with other screens, can't get my neck comfy for long runs... One of the best fairing's I had was on the oilhead RT's...
I know they're now a bit old, were never the quickest, but they were great bikes to tour, do the twisties and even filter... Are my "rose tinted" memories shite or am I still right...
Yeah, I could blow a wad on the latest tackle, but I don't... All bikes for cash and mine wholly and I like ordinary, untarted, non pose bikes that are for riding, not impressing the cafeista...
Please tell me I'm seeing sense or talking complete crap...
