My 2011 RT with upgrades
Bought this 2011 R1200RT in May of 2018 and have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know it. It’s light weight and nimble (for a Sport Touring bike) and a joy to ride in the twisty canyons here in Colorado. I had the exhaust pipes and muffler ceramic coated by Jet Hot. No more blue and brown pipes, always shiny silver and runs cooler. I was able to upgrade my radio to SiriusXM, even though BMW says it is not possible. Swapped out my radio communications module with one from a 2012 RT that has sat radio built in and added the latest antenna from SiriusXM. Works perfectly. Also upgraded all lighting to LED. Cyclops H7 headlights are an amazing improvement over Halogen. Oil cooler guard is by Touratech and adds a nice finished look.
