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

I've got about 1600kms (1000 miles) on my 06 R1150R and is already overdue for the first service, my dealer is about 2 hours away and will have to put on another 250kms to get the bike there, plus it will be another 2 weeks till I have a day off to take it in. Should I stop riding it now? How far is...

On occasion it will be necessary for me to trailer my new R1150 R, I have proper Pingel tie downs and wheel chocks in an enclosed trailer. Because the front suspension is different from any other bike I've had I was wondering if there is anything I need to do different than what I've done in the pas...

I'm another guy who didn't do to well with the SCRC, but help me out here whats the BMW MOA?

Congrats, but don't borrow the Rockster again, you may suffer buyer's remorse when the R shows up. Don't want to kick yourself for not getting the Rockster :lol: :lol: :lol: I really liked the Rockster, grabbed a lot of attention everywhere I went, but being an older dude in my mid 40's I figured t...

Well on order anyway, 06 R1150R in piedmont red, overdrive, back rack, large windshield, high seat and white turnsignals! Should have it in 1 to 2 weeks. The dealer loaned me a 04 Rockster for a day and I was hooked, I guess he new what he was doing. I'm now an X- Harley rider and love the whole nak...

Hi guys, the R1150R Brochure has a graph that shows the difference between 6th and overdrive 6th. The overdrive shows 3000rpm @ 100kph and the regular 6th shows 3500rpm @ 100kph. I find this to be spot on the money to the Rockster that I had from the dealership for the day.

Local dealer has loaned me an 04 Rockster overnight to try out and I find I'm always looking for another gear, is the final gear ratio on a Rockster different than the standard R1150R? Also I think I'm too hunched over on the Rockster and now leaning towards a R.

06 R1150R's are available in Canada as far as I know, one dealer said he had an 06 with some new paint scheme. There are some 05's around with incentives

Yamaha MT-01, I have a test ride scheduled for one Tuesday morning, Monday is a holiday for us Canucks. I'm also going to ride a Used R1150R after I'm done at the Yamaha dealer.

Hi guys just a quick intro, I've been riding 30 years, Harley cruisers the last few years and now I'm moving in to a naked bike. I'm down to 2 choices the R1150R is one and would like a couple of questions answere if you would? First some R1150R's have 2 headlights and some 1, whats the deal here, I...
