Trigger waiting patiently for me at breakfast in Taos. He just had a bath, a full tank of gas and was waiting to be loaded up at the hotel ready to ride to Durango and Montrose, CO that day

[RTRandy]

Trigger loaded up on Route 64 near Tres Piedras,NM on the way to Pogosa Springs.

[RTRandy]

Trigger at Bear Lake south of Fish Haven, ID at Garden City ,UT.

[RTRandy]

Trigger goes to track day and gets all taped up and his ears clipped off. Me and the guy on the GS were the only ones foolish enough to take these kinds of bikes out there. Won't be doing that again. Too expensive to low side, so now we have the Suzuki aka Sonny to practice with. Look carefully and you can see the track out there. This is the Motorsport Ranch, in Cressen, TX. 1.7 miles of pure fun.

Ditto! That's a work of art and a great fairing solution for a naked bike without detractig from it's character . Really nice !!! That bike is a keeper. :thumb :thumb

[MarkF]

I'm amazed that after the R90S and R100S success that
BMW didn't at least offer an S fairing option on the R1100R
and R1150R. I still have my hopes for the R1200R.

PS Took me a while to get the pic to attach. It seems that you do not get the 'file too big' error when the file you're trying to attach is way too big (~1 Mb in my case). You get a 'page not found' error instead. Did more people run into this? If so, maybe nice for the forum admins to know...

It's a 1999.
I've seen these bikes with a few different options like chrome heads and spoked wheels. I wasn't sure if the mags were put on after or if they came like that. I know the previous owners had a few bmw's so it's very possible that they replaced the wheels themselves.

pugypaintguy, thanks for the cool.

actually it's a satellite tracking device that I had to tig weld to the givi rack so my wife could keep track of me.

A satellite dish mounted on a top case is no big deal. How bout a steering wheel mounted on the steering column for when you get tired of holding the handle bars. :thumb

Randy that's a very cool 'Hack' but doesn't that extra wheel on the front right corner mess up the handling? :nyah

Are those two high-back seats leather or Naugha-hyde?

Cold in Wi.? Not here in ND, it's a balmy 72, great weather for taking pics! :ha
Actually I probably could have rode today, temp made it up to 40 but so did the wind. It was so cold here last week though that I just couldn't stand seeing my baby setting out in that cold garage so I had to try and see how hard it was to get through the door (36")....not bad at all actually, just had to wiggle the bars through a little.

Are you going to keep it in for the whole winter? I mentioned doing that once but THE look I got told me maybe I shouldn't. :nono

I always thought it would be nice to have a house with a sliding glass door to the basement. How cool would that be to have a nice heated storage area right next to the family room.

I don't know Rich, I think I put it away too soon. After the snow and cold last week I thought the riding weather was over. It would have been a great day for a ride today, just got my WarmnSafe heated jacket liner today too but unfortunately I was too busy at work to take off early.

This photo is actually from the dealer's web site. I bought the bike a week and a half ago.

When I pick it up, I will post a better picture.

nice bike smokewagon, one cosmetic improvement you might consider making is removing that ugly can thats haning off the right side of the bike under the seat,

easy instructions here: Cannister Removal (http://www.ibmwr.org/r-tech/oilheads/cannister_horn.shtml)

it really cleans up the lines on the back end of an S:

[SKS46LT05]

I'm a k-bike owner but when I was making my decision, I personally was leaning very strongly towards the 1200RT. Only after the other half really hammered me with her input did I mosey over to the LT and ultimately choose it for its all around comfort and cruising abilities.

But, after seeing all these pics of the Rs, I’m dyin.....maybe I need an RT in the garage too--or better yet, in the dining room, you know--for those days when the lady of the house is out and about on her own......

Thanks to all of you for sharing these great pics!

Rob,

That's a real good looking RT. What or why was the recent paint job ? Looks like the system cases were painted. Yes? I just now finally bought a top case for my RT only without the optional pad hoping I could come up with something better than the BMW pad. What is that back rest looking thing on your top case ? Looks comfortable for a passenger.

Jim :brow
They do look neat, the spokes. And the CHP insisted on them for their police bikes I heard. They are supposed to be more flexible for rough stuff. But in thinking back, I couldn't wait to get rid of them on the airhead. I broke a spoke about every once a year or so. Didn't go so far as to buy Lesters, but got the first BMW cast wheel bike out...and bent the rim once...so...but I still like the cast wheels.

[PacWestGS]

I don't wanna hijack the 'picture thread', but spoked wheels are much better off-road, they bend and flex without breaking, and you can limp home a bent wheel. Just cut the broken spokes off or zip-tie 'em to another one.

JVB, even fire-roads can cause stress fractures, keep an eye on them, but I'm sure you and all the others' will have many years of trouble free service from the cast alloy wheels.

So can the pot holes around the DC area! :D

However, according to the BMW literature, and the fact that I have yet to damage a wheel, the new 12GS cast wheels are significantly stronger than previous BMW cast wheels.

Besides, I ride like a girl off road! :stick

Get one of the Mayer brothers or Sargent to do a custom seat for you. It's about the same price as an off the shelf seat.

Using the AirHawk on my Sargent seat is the most comfortable seating that I have found. The Sargent Seat profile was comfortable but, it was just to hard for my boney A$$. I suffer from "Noassatall". Thanks dad. :D
