Looking at picking up a used R1200RT and found one that appears to have been well kept and looks to be in great condition from the pictures. However, it has 106k miles on it, so I wanted to see what I should be looking for when I go test ride it this afternoon?

This is my first BMW and first bike of this size so just looking for a little guidance before I end up with a money bit of a bike.

Thanks in advance.

For price comparison I bought a 2015 R1200RT with 19,900miles on it basically fully loaded including navigation with front and rear crash bars in almost pristine condition for $8,500 from BMW Santa Fe, NM in December 2022. If you save money buying a high mileage bike that's great, just make sure to have $2K-4K in the bank or a very low interest rate credit card for the maintenance/repairs that are definitely going to hit you.

Well, ya, all that plus ...

... the riding time you lose while your bike is sitting in a shop doing all the work required, time ordering parts, and just the general annoyance of fixing the bike that maybe you just bought not too long ago.

I'm a retiring Iron Butt rider whose wife says I'm too old to ride any more at 84. You might consider my 2013 R120RT, approximately 25 K miles and never dropped.
