Just traded my 2017 KTM Super Duke GT in for a 2021 BMW R1250RT on Tuesday, already put 1000km on it, really happy so far

Welcome to a fantastic Forum Birchy! (y)

The RT1250 is a bike I'd love to own. I've owned 5 Beemer's and they are Magical in my opinion.:D

Write a 'ride report' for us when you can with some Pic's.:cool:

I'm infatuated with the BMW R18 right now due to it's nostalgic image.:geek:

I am anxious to get my '02 R1150RT back on the road. It is such a lovely, versatile, smooth ride. It makes my 2012 Suzuki DRZ400S seem like a crude instrument, though I am enjoying 'getting by' with Dr Zee in the interim. Yesterday I made a run downstream to Missoula to fetch fluids and parts in order to refresh and get my BMW back on the road. Nobody of any repute will touch the project until winter - I don't want to wait, so I am forcing a wrench of ill repute to do the urgent service so I can get some miles on before I revert to four wheelers for the Montana winter.

Welcome from northeast Ohio. I love riding my '03 R1150RT. As @Porky has said here in the past, "RTs are magic."

And, unlike with our old RTs, your 2021 still has some (or maybe all) of the factory warranty left on it. Although I'm hoping you'll never use it.
