BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

I'm still waiting for more authentic ride reports on the new R and RS. Hopefully both will be available in the spring for test drives :-)

Cheers!

Very nice video!

They are the same bike but the RS has wind protection. I'm going to test drive one when available and make up my mind then. The new engine is enticing. The fact is that most r12r owners have spent a lot of time and money discussing windshields and helmet options to cut the wind, if the RS takes care...

Hey Rick, I think I saw you at BYOB...I have the same bike but was riding a KLR that weekend...for the dirt :-)

I'm thinking along the same line

I see the turn signals are different, single control for right left and cancel.

It says "BMW Motorrad Integral ABS (part-integral), disengageable". Does that mean linked brakes, I think so. Nice!

I like the blue and also the red and white configuration.

Nice!

Looks like a single radiator, not two like the GS version.

Does it still have linked brakes? I want to test drive it

I'll guess 325 Czech Khrona

Did doofus have the map preloaded or was it looking for a cell connection to work?

Thanks for the update scooter. Looks like it is now certain that the telever is gone.

I'm still not convinced that they'll drop the the telelever on the next R1200R. On a niche retro-appeal model like the R Nine T, it makes sense, but on the main line models, not so much. The new GS and RT models retain the telelever. Why not the the R? Yes, good question. I hope the telelever remai...

36 and 42 is what I run, that is what it says under the seat. That pressure has worked fine for me.

Have a great time! Take pictures and post a trip report.

Be safe.

Nice perspective in this article I came across comparing RnineT and r1200r

The r12r is still BMWs best kept secret :-)

I translated that page but can't tell if that is just an artist impression. We should know soon about 2015 models from official BMW sources.

That picture does look good, if the new R looks anything like that I like it.

The translation also talks about a smaller 900cc RnineT

R nine-T-one just doesn't have the same ring to it
