BMW R-Series description

2005 BMW R 1200 RT, Very Clean three owner touring BMW in one of the best colors you could ask for, dark  gray metallic. Sold new from Bob's BMW in Maryland, and first delivered in April 2005, it had almost no issues during or after factory warranty period that Bob's could document.  Bob's serviced this bike initially and then consistently since 2009 as the original owner moved back out and then back into the area. This bike was placed in the highly capable and respected hands of the Certified BMW Technicians at Bob's for a complete going over and it arrived with a full service including the annual being performed and new tires just under 2,000 miles earlier this summer. Bob's just did a complete inspection of this bike and even though BMW now recommends oil changes every 60000 miles they are a bit old fashioned and think its a good investment to do them every 3000 - 4000 miles. Now many wold have simply passed this bike along as it is and not said a word but they don't operate like that.  Everything else was and is fully up to date for quite some time and mileage and with nearly new tires that show 90-95% of their tread remaining the cost of fresh tires is a long way off. They did note that the rear disc was right at factory and state mins so they installed a new BMW rear disc brake rotor and pads. This one also arrived with a crack in the headlight which is a large one piece component that is far from inexpensive, it has been replaced with a new BMW unit. They also fixed a small scrape on the front fairing panel - it was removed and professionally refinished and looks perfect again. They topped off the Nitrogen in both tires and replaced the Powerlet accessory outlet and cleaned and lubricated the saddlebag latches so they operate really smoothly.  They took care of 2 outstanding BMW recalls, one being a new fuel pump, carries a 2 years parts and 1 year labor warranty.  The other was a rear wheel flange recall.They addressed a small number of items they felt the bike required to be near perfect mechanically....then took it out for an extended test drive before completing their Evaluation and the Maryland Safety inspection process to qualify the bike for their Exclusive Advantage Certified program. Includes ABS, heated seats, heated grips,electronic cruise control,and the on board computer, has a BMW Professional stereo with radio and CD player, plus the chrome exhaust pipes. Electrically adjustable windscreen came standard. It has a set of BMW cylinder head protectors, factory quick remove tank bag, beautiful and comfortable J-Pegs that hide on the cylinder heads like the original spark plug covers, PIAA driving lights and GIVI trunk with backrest, replacement Cee Bailey screen and P3 lights. In summary this is a very clean bike - refurbished completely by Bob's BMW in winter 2015, ready to ride!

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

When he signed with the team, Eugene Laverty said he would give all he possibly could to bring Suzuki back to the top of the podium once again. Well, it sure didn’t take the Northern Irishman long to accomplish that goal, winning the very first race of the 2014 season at Australia’s Phillip Island course. The win was Laverty’s third in a row, including the final two races of the 2013 season when he raced for Aprilia.

Survey Says Harley-Davidson and BMW Motorcycles Less Reliable Than Japanese – But Owners Don’t Care

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

A new survey conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center finds BMW and Harley-Davidson  owners are much more likely to report major problems with their motorcycles than owners of Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha motorcycles. The survey, which will appear on the April 2013 issue of Consumer Reports, says one in three BMW owners reported experiencing a major problem with their bikes in the last four years. Harley-Davidson owners were slightly better, with one in four reporting serious issues.

Naked BMW S1000RR Spotted Testing in Italy – Video

Wed, 29 May 2013

Italian site Motociclismo.it has published a video of what appears to be a naked version of the BMW S1000RR being tested on public roads in Rovereto, Italy. The test model was dressed in camouflage and appears to be close to being ready for production, especially compared to the earlier prototype spotted testing last summer. We expect BMW will officially unveil this S1000RR-based streetfighter at either the Intermot show in Cologne, Germany, or the EICMA show in Milan, Italy, later this fall.
