This 2015 R 1200 RT was a perfect transition from my 09 K 1200 LT. In addition to being hundreds of pounds lighter than the K 1200, it has been a very comfortable bike and lots of fun to ride. The menu of technical items and the performance options that can be checked/changed (as you ride and as the riding conditions change) make this a great motorcycle for both day runs or the extended cross-country tour. The side cases are quickly removed and, with practice, the top case may be removed in minutes. 18,000 miles with all recommended service performed by local BMW dealer. Three year BMW warranty ends in June 2018 or at 36,000 miles.BMW’s Motorrad Navigator V GPS (with factory installed mount) as well as an impressive list of factory options that include: Luxury Package: Bluetooth Interface Control Gear Shift Assist Pro Audio System with Radio & SiriusXM Radio Radio SoftwareComfort Package: Chrome Exhaust Pipe Central Locking SystemTPM (Tire Pressure Monitor)Anti Theft Alarm SystemAccessory SocketTouring Package: Dynamic ESA GPS Preparation Heated Seats Cruise ControlDynamic Package: Hill Start Control Headlight Pro Ride Modes ProKeyless RideEbony Met Paint Schuberth C3 PRO helmet with BMW Communications System BMW Communication System will: Integrate with Motorrad Navigator V GPS Connect to SmartPhone through Navigator V Play radio or SiriusXM radio Connect to another BMW Comm System helmet Utilize Garmin SmartLink Options for GPS
