BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

Just sitting down to plan a 7 day Aug trip to V & WV when I crossed this thread. Excellent suggestions & I look forward to riding some of these roads on our trip. Thanks all posters.

some good suggestions from previous posts.After riding my R1150 from coast to coast my suggestions would be a tankbag coupled with two large mouth duffle bags from Kermits Camping products. I chose two medium size bags over the large as they can be stacked one on top of the other. These bags have a ...

Now we R 2, Not willing to shell the $$$$ for a BMW top case I also purchased a SHAD32 and installed it on my RR ,the same way U did. It is a VG copy of the GIVI ,will store a helmet ++ & a bargain at $100 canadian from a local motorcycle shop that specializes in BMW tuning and repairs.( not a d...

Vielzebub & TT RDHS.......Thanks

Thanks for the pics.I was on the 108 last wk-nd but not thru the Notch.Coming from the Cdn side of the border,Vt has been a favorite. Bike looks great..Love those mirrors...looking at Napoleons at the moment but yours look better. Source???

I had Michelin Pilot Road 2's installed last june before a 14,000 km trip to San Diego and back to Montreal(8699 miles) and I am still riding on those tires.Single rider & camping gear for weight .Most of the travel was in hot to very hot weather ( 120F). Still tread left. Very good tire. :D I a...

have been to Americade about 15x...mixture of Goldwings,Harleys,sportbikes and certainly BMW.I used to stay in Lake George but it has become very crowded. Super riding in the area. The Adirondacks, Catskills & the Green Mountains of Vt. I now find a room about 20 miles away (less expensive) and ...

I think that you may be very pleased with the comfort level on the R1150R. I rode mine from the east coast to San Diego and back last July ( 8,450 mi ) in 23 days of riding .The bike has a sports shield and a bead seat from Bead Rider..Its riding comfort surprised me. I am 5'8",inseam is 29&quo...

VG choice.Twin plugs,SS brake lines,Overdrive (6th) comfortable seating position and great mid-range torque make the bike a delight in country curves.Add cases,tankbag & GPS and you are off to the opposite coast. It really is a well balanced motorcycle.
Enjoy

+1 on the Bead Rider seat cover.Greatly improved comfort on LD rides and what more can u ask for a $35 investment.Try one before u spend hundreds on a custom seat.

This will be my 4th season on an 04 R1150R and I had a 96 R1100r for 6 yrs. The following are the accessories I found most useful. 1.Bmw side cases. I would also look at GIVI. 2. Sports windshield in Smoke available from ZTechnick. ( I'm 5'8") reasonable wind protection & looks good also. 3...

I ride my motorcycle simply because it excites me. I have ridden more mountain passes,followed more river roads ,seen more ocean ,met more great people and have sampled more home made cookies than I ever would have riding in my car. After many years, Riding is still my Nirvana..

Had the same problem till I got a piece of synthetic mesh used under throw rugs to prevent them from slipping. Mesh is available in black and cut slightly oversize to the bottom of your bag prevents bag from slipping under load and the mesh is virtually invisible. Any carpeting store should have thi...

Great pics.Makes me look forward to Spring in my corner of the world.
