How many of you are going for the 2021 RT model and why?
I am because I traded my perfectly good running 2018RT (my 4th one) for a 2019 Wing...and I miss the sheetatta my RT
Interesting. What didn't you like about the Wing?
Nothing wrong with 2 bikes š š

Waiting to see a 2021 R1250RT on the floor, available to purchase, wearing Brembo. 'Till then, I have my eye on several nice airheads on the market. Apples and oranges, but the latter may be had for <$10K, I can work on them myself, and I grew up on 'em.

Speaking of the 2021 RT and brakes, one small point to note is that the ā21 models come with fully integrated braking, like the ā04 RT had. The ability to use the rear brake alone in low-speed maneuvers is very important to some users, which begs the question of whether the authority models will have fully integrated braking. Just a thought...

Spot on...

I'm surprised to see that. I hope BMW does not start using fully integrated brakes on other models.
I'm used to using rear brake only for slow tight U turns.

I think we will need to wait and see just how well the integration was implemented. It's possible that BMW is using the lean angle and speed sensors to recognize low speed maneuvers, maybe even preventing application of the front brake at near-zero speeds.
This ranks pretty high on the scale for the most frightening post of the week.
