Real Bikes, Real Bikers - Episode 1 - Mark, BMW R1250RS 

I'm a short OAP too and have just "downsized" from a 1250GS after having 2 1200GS' before that. The RS is so much easier to handle at low speed and if you're not carrying a pillion the RS is IMO a better option for the road, plus it's quite a bit cheaper than a GS and a lot lighter than an RT. The only downside so far has been the OE screen which is awful but I've just put a Puig replacement on it and that's much better. A nice change and it was good to hear about other riders and their biking history. I started at 17 and have had bikes for most of my life and want to keep going for as long as I can providing I still enjoy it.

Great to hear like minded bikers history, I guess we all have a story to tell. At 63 years young, I have a similar history, started like many around my age with a Fizzy. I’ve pretty much always had some sort of bike in my garage, currently I have a BMW R1200RS Iconic and a Triumph Bobber which seems to fit my needs perfectly. A new addition may be added to the stable soon… Royal Enfield 350 Classic

Really enjoyed watching this video. My first ride on a motorcycle was a 125 when I was 18 which planted the biking bug and since then I’ve had a few bikes. I had to ‘gave up biking’ due to having children from 1991 until 1999 when I purchased my first BIG bike which I kept until 2015 then sold that due to health issues and I also thought I was ‘too old’ Lol! The ‘biking bug’ wouldn’t leave me so 2 years later I bought a second hand bike, then in 2018 I purchased yet another new one but felt something was missing. In 2019 I sat on a BMW at a motorcycle show and was smitten. I couldn’t actually test ride until September 2020 due to having foot surgery and lockdown!!! Once I had been out on the test ride for a few hours I was totally hooked. Returned back to the dealers and promptly put a deposit down. The BMW R1250RS in Austin Yellow……Best bike ever!!

Really entertaining for another late-to-the-game biker. 2017 Harley Low Rider S. 2015 BMW R1200RT. :)

Very nice ! Really like to ear about other bikers opinion: this the real deal. I also enjoyed the experience with the sv650 and thought is way better than an old cb500 that everybody loved (not me). The suzuki really fit to my body . Also am flirting the RS1200 in the used market because i to am short (5,4ft) and do not want a heavier RT, although can see the advantages in riding position. Still, would love to get a rs1200 with lower seat, tubular steering from the r1200 and quickshift. Lets see. Keep up the good work. 👍

Looking forward to more episodes. As the saying goes. If you have to ask why, you wouldn’t understand. Don’t agree with the not ready for the RT bit. You say you don’t ride fast.? I’m in my forth RT and same age as you. I don’t hang about, I won’t say anymore and at 6’ 2” the RT is a much better fit. But too each their own

Best bike ever, though I am biased 😂
