NWBeemerBoy Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Thursday I picked up a 2016 White/Lupine Blue RS. Woot! I still have the 2004 RT and not quite sure what to do with it. It needs a full service and the brake unit hasn't been serviced in 5 years. It still seems to work fine but it's WAY overdue. It could use some new tupperware too. I guess I've got time now to make it a project bike. Decisions decisions. Well, for the time being I guess I'll focus on enjoying the RS! Link to comment
JR356 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Congrats on the new ride. Get the RT serviced and brake flush and sell it,now that riding season is here. With the new bike,you will find the old one will be just sitting,collecting dust. JR356 Link to comment
Stbell Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Agree with JR356. Get your '04 tuned up and sell it. Congrats on your new purchase. Post some photos when you get a chance. Link to comment

Indy Dave Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Great bike - thanks for posting a link to your photos. Link to comment
ArmyGuy Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I was stationed in Germany when the new RS was released and got up close and personal with it. I needed a mop to clean the drool up behind me. Love the look of this moto! Congrats on your new ride. Link to comment
Limecreek Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Great bike. The RT replacement! Link to comment
powwow Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 That is one beautiful scoot. Congrats! Link to comment
NWBeemerBoy Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 So I got side cases, a top cas, a tank bank and the Navigator 6. Any other "must have" farkle? I was thinking of engine guards but that's weight, the bike is insured so... Link to comment
TEWKS Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Carbon Kevlar is cool! http://www.rg-racing.com/browsebike/BMW/R1200RS/2016/ECS0082C/ You kind of have to permanently stick them in place with an adhesive so that could be nerve racking on a new bike. They look very nice though. Pat Link to comment
Whip Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I hear there are a lot of carbon bits available to bling it up Congrats on the ride Link to comment
JR356 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 MachineArtMoto (MAM) cylinder guards look good,easy install and are very protective. https://machineartmoto.com/r1200r/2015-r-rs-liquid-cooled/avantguard-r-rs/ JR356 Link to comment
randy Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I wanted a new RS. Just did not want to buy new. I am hoping there will be some nice used units come Nov 2018 - Feb 2019 and I can pick one up then. We will see. Link to comment
