| beemer4's Full Review: 2004 BMW R 1150 RT |
I bought it with 2000 miles and 18 months left on the warranty for for thousands less than new.I use to own a Concours it was so buzzy I could not feel my hands then I bought a Gold Wing but I spent my days polishing it. Now I do not have to spend all day polishing the chrome and my bike looks new all the time (I have put up 1500 miles in the last 3 weeks thanks to heated bars.At speed without the bags it feels very sporty and solid and put the bags on fill them up and we are gone for the weekend. It gets 55 MPG ( that beats my Expedition). The brakes and your shifting style will change if you have not ridden BMW before. Your wallet may complain when you send it for an inspection. But believe me this bike will grow on you and you will have a happy face whenever you ride. You are also sure not to see one at every street corner. Every time I stop I get a lot of attention with its good look. This is a bike that does it all really well.
