Hello everyone. I just bought a 2015 R1200 RT a month ago and have about 1,000 miles on it. Just love the bike! I have lurked here for a couple of weeks and thought it was time to say hello.

I've been riding since 1968 on, in sequence, a BSA Starfire 250, Triumph 500, BMW R60/5 (many many miles before it was stolen), Yamaha V Star 650 and 1100, Harley Ultra Classic, Suzuki V Strom 650. The new RT is by far the most enjoyable motorcycle I've owned and I'm looking forward to learning a lot from this forum.

My wife call's the bike "Jeremy's Last Motorcycle". She may be right!

Welcome to the camp, Jeremy. If you've been lurking here you probably already know that this is a great place to get answers, feedback, insight, ideas, opinions and general discussion - of varying value.

I know what you're going through on the bike. My wife referred to my RT as my last motorcycle when I bought it in 2009. It was, until I found my '73 /5 as a renovation project. My RT has been a wonderful bike and I have no need or plans to replace it - until it hits 100K miles in a couple of years, then I might try sending out some gentle feelers across the dining table ...

Cool!

I have been riding starting on a BMW R60/2 in Madison in 1967. Then I went on to an R75/5, R90/6, R80RT, R100RT, R1100RT, '04 R1150RT, '07 R1200RT, and 2015 R1200RT.

You are going to love your '15 RT more and more.
