BMW R-Series description

2005 BMW R 1200 RT, Very Clean three owner touring BMW in one of the best colors you could ask for, dark  gray metallic. Sold new from Bob's BMW in Maryland, and first delivered in April 2005, it had almost no issues during or after factory warranty period that Bob's could document.  Bob's serviced this bike initially and then consistently since 2009 as the original owner moved back out and then back into the area. This bike was placed in the highly capable and respected hands of the Certified BMW Technicians at Bob's for a complete going over and it arrived with a full service including the annual being performed and new tires just under 2,000 miles earlier this summer. Bob's just did a complete inspection of this bike and even though BMW now recommends oil changes every 60000 miles they are a bit old fashioned and think its a good investment to do them every 3000 - 4000 miles. Now many wold have simply passed this bike along as it is and not said a word but they don't operate like that.  Everything else was and is fully up to date for quite some time and mileage and with nearly new tires that show 90-95% of their tread remaining the cost of fresh tires is a long way off. They did note that the rear disc was right at factory and state mins so they installed a new BMW rear disc brake rotor and pads. This one also arrived with a crack in the headlight which is a large one piece component that is far from inexpensive, it has been replaced with a new BMW unit. They also fixed a small scrape on the front fairing panel - it was removed and professionally refinished and looks perfect again. They topped off the Nitrogen in both tires and replaced the Powerlet accessory outlet and cleaned and lubricated the saddlebag latches so they operate really smoothly.  They took care of 2 outstanding BMW recalls, one being a new fuel pump, carries a 2 years parts and 1 year labor warranty.  The other was a rear wheel flange recall.They addressed a small number of items they felt the bike required to be near perfect mechanically....then took it out for an extended test drive before completing their Evaluation and the Maryland Safety inspection process to qualify the bike for their Exclusive Advantage Certified program. Includes ABS, heated seats, heated grips,electronic cruise control,and the on board computer, has a BMW Professional stereo with radio and CD player, plus the chrome exhaust pipes. Electrically adjustable windscreen came standard. It has a set of BMW cylinder head protectors, factory quick remove tank bag, beautiful and comfortable J-Pegs that hide on the cylinder heads like the original spark plug covers, PIAA driving lights and GIVI trunk with backrest, replacement Cee Bailey screen and P3 lights. In summary this is a very clean bike - refurbished completely by Bob's BMW in winter 2015, ready to ride!

New: BMW System 6 Evo helmet

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

BMW has released the new System 6 Evo flip-front helmet.  It retains the clean lines of the System 6, while increasing levels of comfort and practicality with a more scratch-resistant internal sun visor, a more robust visor mechanism designed to make operation with gloved hands easier, improved ventilation control on the chin, and a revised spoiler for better aerodynamics. BMW says it has a unique chin bar pivot which reduces the size of the helmet when the chin bar is upright. Weighing in at 1.57kg, the ECE 22-05 homologated Evo is a quiet lid, with noise levels registering at 84-86 dBA at 62 mph. The helmet comes ready for installation of the BMW Communication system, offering a Bluetooth connection to the BMW Navigator IV sat-nav, music players, mobile phones and other BMW helmets.

I would not, could not, ride a BMW C1

Tue, 29 Jun 2010

As the chair of this session I will start. On my walk to work this morning I got beeped at by BMW's C1 scooter whilst crossing the road. This, my most detested mockery of two-wheeled transport, beeped at me for no reason whatsoever but what angered me more was the pitiful horn the BMW has, it was a roadrunner like ‘meep’.

Adventure Riding in the American West – A Photobook

Thu, 09 May 2024

Photobook “Adventure Riding in the American West” is live on Kickstarter! Olivier de Vaulx, a long-time collaborator with our friends over at Upshift Magazine as well as many other international publications, has launched a project of his own on Kickstarter this week: A 200-page photo book that compiles 10 years of riding in the most remote places of the West. Cutting no corners, as Olivier says, this book will be a 9 x 12 inch hardcover, printed on archival-quality paper.
