Hello, I purchased a 99 r1100rt, 65000 miles, a couple of days before the snow started falling. I was able to ride for a few hours and it just whirs along at 70. I do realize my riding skills have diminished. Look forward to taking riding classes this summer. I had a Harley, 2007 road glide, and put about 65000 trouble-free miles on it. Loved it. Sold it and bought a 2002 BMW convertible,330. Not the same as a motorcycle. I am 65 with back problems and the car is a joy. The RT is my winter project. I have a new front tire mounted waiting for brake pads and a day over 30 f. Will try to change the hall sensor, it doesn't look that hard thanks to the info on the web. Hoping to have it out and about by st. paddy's day. I am in southwest mt and we have some great riding. If I really like it I may look into a newer model.

Back in the saddle again
Welcome from central Florida. Too bad you will have to wait awhile to enjoy that ride. Have fun working on it until then.

Willkommen Mr MT-RT!
Sounds like you’re off to a sensible agenda. Start out used; see how things progress.
Look for a dealer Open House (if there’s actually a dealer near U)! If you test ride a new model, then I would hope there’s money in the bank so to speak. Way back when, that’s how I went from a K11LT to a K12LT... Newer & greatly improved. My “newest” Beemer is a K16GT which I use as a tow-mobile for the TimeOut camper. You'll find us glamping at the 50th MOA International Rally in Doswell, VA next June. Hope U can make it way far east!
Good luck with your maintenance efforts this winter. You’re not alone; it goes on every year across the north...
Happy Trails whenever U can - Ciao!
