Bmw Touring reviews

I've been riding for over 54 years. From off road woods machines, motocross, hair scrambles, standard modified 70's street, sport bikes, adventure, and so on. I was introduced to the GS style 25 yrs. ago. Long story short; this is my 4th GS. This bike I picked up after having a 2014 GS. The 2012 is the most reliable bike that BMW ever made. It's the K25 engine that is bullet proof. The handling and performance are equal to anyone that wants to ride; not show. This machine is made for miles and really don't want to let it go. It will take you anywhere with a want to do it again. Show less

One of the best touring bikes I ever purchased in my lifetime and I had many. combination of sport and touring. I toured a big piece of north America with this bike and I never was uncomfortable. All the key comfort features along with the power and torque out of that amazing 6 cylinder engine. You cant go wrong with this Bike! Show less

This bike is a blast to ride, handles and perfoms like a race bike, but has an upright seating position for all day riding. The quickshifer works perfectly, the exhaust tone is awesome. A real head turning motorcycle, expects alot of compliments and thumbs up! Show less

I have owned BMW RT's for over 20 years. I am on my third one a 2020. These bikes are exceptional tourers, providing protection from the elements as well as in minor "downs". The electric adjustable windscreen (on the fly) along with heated grips and heated seat, can extend riding seasons to year round. The boxer twin cylinder engine (horizontally opposed) provides tremendous torque in addition to the 110 (plus) HP. So this machine provides miles and hours of grins while chewing up twisties giving conventional sport bikes a run for the money. I consistently put about 100,000 miles on each one every ten years combining 7,000 mile annual trips with 3,000 annual miles of local twisty riding and have never been let down. Service intervals have been improved by BMW over the generations and the common 6,000 mile service can easily be done by the owner (with some minor wrenching experience). Whether riding two up or solo this bike provides year round comfort, and the panniers and storage components provide excellent ease of traveling and waterproof secure containment. Selectable (on the fly) riding modes can adjust ride-ability from comfort on highways to normal for street riding to sport for the twisties. I can't say enough good stuff about these bikes.

The BMW GS has been the best selling Dual-sport motorcycle for over 40 years by world wide Dual-sport enthusiasts. This bike is at home on the interstate or riding forest service roads, the GS can do it all. With the flip of a switch it can go from highway cruiser to mud slinging beast. This bike is equipped with standard height suspension and off road footpegs with Denali driving lights for night time adventures. Show less

I love this bike. It performs, reliable and refined. Never any maintenance issues. If your interested in many years and miles of enjoyment this is for you. You'll probably never out grow this machine or get bored with it. I'm old and need to hang up my helmet. Otherwise I'd be riding my beemer today. Show less

Love this bike because it's a cruise missle on 2 wheels. Comfortable, quick, and pretty good on the gas. 150hp at the engine is more than enough, even for a short, gravity challenged person. Took this bike in the mountain twisties, highways, and around the Great Lakes. With the cruise control, ABS, heated grips and seat made it a easy choice for my everyday rider - until the snow starts flying. But alas, I'm getting older and this bike is heavy. Moving it around is a little bit of a challenge, but manageable. I think the K-bikes were underrated for what they could do. The in-line 4 cyl really spooled up quick and the next thing you know, you're doing 90 in 3rd gear on a 6 speed transmission. The ride was smooth a butt'ah. Shifting was a little clunky, but if you preload your shift it went thru the gears fine. It was a little pain to do maintenance because of all the tupperware, but that's the same with all these bigger sport-touring and touring bikes (exceptions are the big V twins). Show less

This bike has performed beyond my expectations and I sad to get rid of it. I can no longer control it at slower speeds. It is a very comfortable bike and has taken me several places across the country. It purrs like a kitten and has been serviced at all the increments required by BMW. Show less

Brand new bike under 300 miles. New windshield. One of the best handling sport touring bikes on the market. Fast and comfortable. Black exterior. Need to sell all of my bikes for personal reasons. The GT is one of BMWs greatest designs ever built the 6 Cylinder puts out over 160 hp with over 160 lbs of torque. 0-60 is 3.2 seconds. Show less

I've had a dozen different Bikes starting with a 1926 HD "F" head 61 with suicide shift. I've had Triumphs and Goldwings. The R1200 RT stands out as the most enjoyable ride. The passing capability is more than adequate. The power windshield and heated grips work well for a variety of weather conditions. The radio and new front and rear rubber makes you road ready. The low milage and winters in a heated garage keep this bike feeling young. Show less
