BMW R-Series description

The brutal Summer heat is over! The best riding season for touring through the Texas Hill Country is just beginning. Wind through the landscape on the best touring machine available. Silver 2008 BMW R1200RT. Well FARKLED! Under 38000 miles. This is the best handling bike I've ridden. Take this through an ERC, and you will handle the course better than bikes half the size. A perfect commuting bike at only just north of 500lbs. Or run down 1431 for a spirited sprint to dinner in Marble Falls. Then pack the saddle bags and the trunk, and head out to the (far away) coast for a run up HWY 101. This ride will eat up the miles. Here's some of the features:
electric adjustable wind screen.
Heated grips and saddle.
Wiring and controls for heated garments (sounds odd in Texas - but makes the January rides comfortable as well as fun).
Garmin 550 Zumo GPS keeps you on track.
Radar scanner to alert you to "bears".
OEM Low saddle.
OEM Standard heated saddles.
Moto-Lights additional driving lights.
Hyper-lites integrated flashing brake lights and LED turn signals.
Cylinder head guards.
Additional bar-mounted mirrors.
Brake pedal extension.
49-Liter Top Case and a 28-liter Top Case for those lighter loads.
TPMS system.
On board computer.
Electronic Suspension Adjustment.
Cruise control.

The Bad:
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) Sensor for rear wheel is not working. Easy replacement when the rear tire is replaced next.
Slight scratches on hard bags from boots mounting and dismounting.
