I think some of the minor close calls help keep us on our toes and keep us alive. The RT was awesome. Thanks for the ride along.

@charlesgregory9976 5 лет назад

There are times when my 04 1200 sportster is the thing to ride for in the wind fun. But times when smooth strong techno gizmos are the thing ya need for a perfect ride. So a person needs to love both to be a (biker) as you are my friend. Thanks for your videos.

@youroam1 5 лет назад

The definition from yesterdays video IS SUPURB!

@snowdog7840 5 лет назад

yeah, my RT is a great bike, I built adapters so I can put GIVI bags on that have a hatch so you can load from the top. I also added a Laam seat for more comfort. I just wish my legs were a little longer so I could flatfoot at stops. ( I have the low seat ! )

@TimothyT230 5 лет назад

I love my 2018 RT ! Just had a set of Pirelli Angel GTs fitted and it made it even better ! You can ride it like a tourer or you can hammer it through the curves. I have a friend with a 2001 RT and it just keeps going !

@STOPsignforRT 5 лет назад

My 2018 is white and I agree totally. No disappointments whatsoever, only a heap of praise to BMW for a job well done on this bike.

@TimothyT230 5 лет назад

STOPsign It was either white or red for me. Dealership had a red and I also liked the dark grey wheels and black engine block. Only thing I don’t like is the enormous chrome muffler but I will likely replace it with Akrapovic or Remus at some stage.

@STOPsignforRT 5 лет назад

Ahhh yes. I like the black engine look also but they don't do that in white unfortunately. Still got a long ways until I have to replace tires but I'm going to look into a set of Pirelli's like you did. If its one thing I like best about this bike, it's the handling. Makes me feel like I could ride it in MotoGP.

Can dual pipes be fitted on an R1250RT?

You should've gotten a Country Fried Steak to go, when you were pumping gas at the truck stop this morning...lol. That is a nice BMW motorcycle machine you were riding, Smoak.

Don't be putting ideas like that in my head..! Lol Thanks!!

@TJRohyans 5 лет назад

I spent 2.5 years with only my V-Star 1300 for transportation, believe it or not, side loading saddlebags would probably be a deal-breaker for me. If it's too troublesome to load groceries, it's not worth the hassle of owning it. Now, if it's one of those top-loading boxes like the R1200 GSA, then I might be really tempted, but I want to get all I can out of my Eluder before I go that route. I guess I need to go back to yesterdays vlog and watch it again. Peace and love.

@STOPsignforRT 5 лет назад

Side loading bags are not ideal. I usually load things I don't need often in my side bags and for those items I need often, I load them in my top BMW case or in my small tank bag. But if you have a lot to pack, then this might in fact be a deal-breaker.

@chrismills4213 5 лет назад

Any ride is a good one...man they are out to get ya! You be careful now.

@fatguy8067 5 лет назад

I don't think I like that the RT doesn't have self canceling turn signals, but it looks like it would be a comfortable bike on a long trip, Thanks for taking along for the ride, stay warm!

@fullmoon2614 5 лет назад

Good Monday morning rip to ya. Nice. I'm really glad to know that todays technology doesn't scare you. I've pretty much given up on my cell phone. All I can say is it is smarter than I am. Nuff said. Cold as the North Pole here. Little snow this morning if you can believe that in South Central Texas in November. Didn't stick though so I guess I won that battle. Still hoping for our pooch to return. Stay safe and stay WARM!!!!!LOL

@stadtbewohner 3 года назад

Embarrassing to admit, but: before watching your video I didn't know that my 2017 R1200RT had a digital speedo. That was my only dislike of the bike (thinking it didn't have the speedo). One only has to turn off the radio by long pressing the top button on the left side panel (I just muted it and never touched it again).

@roadglide 5 лет назад

How would you compare that near perfect RT to the new Honda GoldWing Bagger?

@theChestnutMtnTinman 5 лет назад

What is the difference between it and your demo?

@mikedignum1868 5 лет назад

I own the 2014 RT (LC) and its got to be the best all rounder Ive ever had. Things they could upgrade for 2019 that didn't..Lockable satnav / backlit switch gear / internal ariel.

@dirkjacobs440 3 года назад

You can easily install that yourself with the device you can buy on oldtimers.si/en/.

@TimothyT230 5 лет назад

STOPsign Dude ! That’s a massive plus point. Each to their own but that shallow clutch pull is awesome once you get used to it. Actually thinking about it, it did bug me a bit on my R1200RS but once you get used to it, it’s the best thing ever. Super quick and smooth gear shifts in combination with the quick shifter. In case you haven’t done it. Turn the little adjustment wheel on the clutch to a 1 or 2 which pulls the lever in a bit. Might make it more comfy for you ! 🤟🏻👍🏻🏍

@STOPsignforRT 5 лет назад

GL & Ticky Tocky, I've already adjusted the clutch lever to '1' but that only brings the clutch lever closer to the handlebar. It does not change the clutch engagement point. As mentioned, this is a very tiny nit pick of mine and I've adapted and gotten adjusted to it so it's not a big deal for me. I was just really reaching for something here because there isn't a lot that I don't like about the bike. But thanks for the advice and help!

@robert.reimon 4 года назад

If you were spending your own money, what would you have a low mileage White RT about 16,5K or an almost new 1250 hp GS on 20K?

@chldof1truekng434 5 лет назад

I have a quick question for you, hypothetically if you could only have one motorcycle Which one would you choose Out of all the brands available? P.S. The color on the video On your after work segment Looks really awesome.

@GopherChoker. 5 лет назад

@GeoffreyMilne1 5 лет назад

Hi Shawn Just after some advice please. I've noticed that some of the spokes on my back wheel have become loose before my next service is due (R1200 GSA). Would it be OK for me to tighten the spokes back up to the correct torque, or will I have to take it back into the dealership for them to do it? If I can do it myself, what torque would you reccomend I set the spokes to? Cheers 👍

@splodge5714 5 лет назад

Here in the UK there is a problem with some GS spokes coming loose. If there is I think its more than 7 loose they are replacing the complete wheel under warranty.

@GeoffreyMilne1 5 лет назад

@@splodge5714 Thanks for the info, I'll go and check how many are loose! 👍

@patc1379 5 лет назад

Shawn, off topic but what do you think of the S&W M&P 2.0 9mm?

@TheSmoaksVlogs 5 лет назад

Absolutely love the ol' gal..! Lol It's never missed a beat, plus Kelly really enjoys shooting it as well... Thanks Pat!

@patc1379 5 лет назад

Awesome to hear! I've been tossing trying to decide the 9 or 40 S&W version.

@y6682 4 года назад

What do you prefer? The GSA or the RT. I'm in dilemma. I love the looks from the GSA, but prefer the windprotection from the RT. Love your channel. Grts, from Belgium

@TheSmoaksVlogs 4 года назад

That's what you have to decide, pure comfort road only or a do everything bike... You see my choice, the one I took home, the GSA. But that's just me, don't use that as a gide..! Thanks Yuri!!

@stadtbewohner 3 года назад

The RT has a lower center of gravity, and handles better at low speeds.

@charlesestes3218 5 лет назад

I have an R1250RT on order, so really looking forward to you taking me for a ride on that one.

@STOPsignforRT 5 лет назад

@markbrown8907 5 лет назад

Why does the antenna have to be on the front of the bike on BWM's?

@TheSmoaksVlogs 5 лет назад

For the best reception... BMW doesn't do anything without seriously researching it first. The SuperView setting of my GoPro makes is seem like it's sticking out like that. You never notice it while riding or walking around the bike... Thanks Mark!

@markbrown8907 5 лет назад

@@TheSmoaksVlogs I have a K1600B and I chose not to get the radio because of how awful the antenna looks.

@STOPsignforRT 5 лет назад

I agree with Mr. Smoaks. People either hate them where they are located or it doesn't bother them at all. I am with the latter. However, if BMW could incorporate it into the windshield somehow (like in cars), that would make the bike even better looking. But it could be costly to do so and raising the price on this already heavy on the wallet bike might not go over too well with potential customers.
