Well, mama and I put about 200 miles on the RT today. We are about 99% sure the RT will be sold and we will buy a 'Wing. We are in no hurry, I will probably park the RT and strip it of the accessories this winter and list it here and on Fakebook and see what happens. If it doesn't sell until spring, no big deal. It isn't like Fargo has great riding the next five months!
I will post on the group when anything changes.

A buddy of mine just sold his R1250GS in about 2 hours. The stop sale order is your friend.
Just because I'm paranoid, that doesn't mean the entire world isn't out to get me.
FWIW- The Stop Sale is over- https://forums.bmwmoa.org/showthread...=1#post1312636

Help me out. Have we decided we hate PoorUB, or not.

Well, I need to update! A month ago my wife and i took a GW for a test ride. A dealer had a used 2021 that we were considering. We put about 20 miles on it, a bit of city and the rest out on a mix of winding country two lane and some divided highway. Funny, but my wife liked the bike before, but was reluctant to spend the money, but after the ride she was all in!
We talked abut buying the bike out right or trading the RT and I wasn't comfortable with either. So we thanked the salesman for his time, and left.
We were in the Minneapolis area for a couple days and we had some free time so I was looking on the internet and found a dealer that had some GWs in stock. We get there and they had a few 2023 DCT models in stock. The best part? They were trying to move them out at $4,100 off list. They didn't really want to trade as their offer showed that, but with my wife's insistence we bought a red DCT straight out, so the RT is getting ready to be sold.
The best part it was $500 higher than the used 2021 we looked at a couple weeks earlier. We were not prepared to ride it or haul it home, (crap, it is winter here already!), so we are running down next Tuesday to pick it up.
I haven't even ridden it yet and might not get to for a few months. We got a bit of snow the last couple days. Oh well, I get all wither to get it set up for next spring.

Nice!
Congratulations!
Try to keep us updated on how it works out for you.

Well, it is official, The R1200RT is sold. My BMW days are over, onto a Goldwing group!
I did get a couple hundred miles on the 'Wing before the snow hit. If we have a mild winter, maybe a few more.
It was a great bike, I will miss it. The guy that bought the RT has a Honda ST1100 with 130,000 miles on it. He said he is thinking seriously of a four corners ride, so it sounds like he will get some use out of it. He was a like a 60 year kid with a new toy!

Maybe, it is kind of a long haul to get there!
I am harder than that to get rid off. I still haunt the Harley group I liked.

The beauty of a GW in Fargo...you can run a studded snow on the rear in winter and a passenger tread in summer...at about $68/tire. Congrats on the find and sale.Well, it is official, The R1200RT is sold. My BMW days are over, onto a Goldwing group!
