It’s Boxer... not Boxter engine. I’m shopping for one of these to replace my 1996 R1100RT... Rode one North to South from Cairns to Sydney Australia on vacation and fell in love. Thanks for sharing the passion!

Ha ! I'm from Texas we are highly trained in mispronouncing stuff. Thanks for the clarification. I'm still riding it and I've gone through two other bikes since I made this video. But I'm keeping her that's for sure. After I ride the other one's it just helps me remember why I like the BMW so much ! I had a FJR (Sold) and an 2015 Aprilia Caponord which I still have and really love the bike but it's a completely different type of bike and the Cruise Control, it kind of works...

Beautiful bike, mine is a 2012 I put at least 400 miles a week on it, doesn’t miss a beat. I bought it used, it came with the BMW navigation system, bmw tank bag and police cooling fan, bike is loaded like yours. This is my 6th BMW. Have 5 other makes/models also but this one is my go to and if I could only own or have one, it would be this one.

Feel the same way about the 2013. Don't have the cooling fan though.

Nice, those 13 model 90 year RT`s are sweet looking too. I have always loved them. Just purchased a new 18 model RT. Coming from a 14 r1200GS. Great video, thanks. Here we go.

Man I have been drooling over those 1250's ! But I'm trying to hold back and see how that cam shift thingy holds up over time. I think my '13 was the last of the most simplistic design.

nice review, I love your impression reviews of the bikes you own, are you still this positive about the BMW? And did you got any problems with it?

Yes I am! But I have to admit I now bought a 2009 1200 GS with 83k on her and man this could be the one bike that can actually do anything. I had ridden 2021 GS's but never gone offroad. Then when I bought this one I took her off road the first day nothing very intense but still, way better than what I expected !

Riding a '99 blackbird currently. Thinking about selling it and getting this. There's one on sale at a local bmw shop for 8499$ with 27k miles. Hmmmmm.

I had a 98 blackbird and it's a truly awesome bike but as you know a different category. That's not a bad buy on the RT. Winter is the time to buy. Blackbirds are getting hard to find though. If your thinking about putting some miles down on the slab (in comfort) then by all means... this is the bike. It's the last one before they started slapping all the electronics on it. I've now hit 40k with this bike and I have 85k on my 2009 GS 1200. The RT hasn't missed a beat once. If your riding in the cold the heated seats (front and back) and heated grips are the only way to go and there's always the cruise control which is flawless. I can't go back to a chain and no cruise control. I have manual one on my GS and I hate it. I'm gonna sell it and get like a 2013 GS or later with Cruise. On a long ride (over 200 miles) cruise control is a deal breaker or maker for me.

I keep wishing for this and the 1250 GS but it just isn’t working and I can’t figure out why

My wish came true on a GS, I bought one with 85k on the clock. Perfect condition for the age great price. That's the beauty of BMW.
