RIP brother! He had such a great career going. I considered him on top of the game with his enthusiasm, skills, and knowledge. You wonder what bikes he’d be reviewing in the current years? I know whatever’s out there after death he is reunited with his loved ones by spirit; maybe even riding around on all his favorite bikes? Ride in paradise💙😎🙏🏼
Guys, you made an amazing video, especially the radar system testing. Im not sure other reviewers will be able to test the radar as thoroughly as you. Big thumbs up!
Thank you so much for this review. It's the most thorough I've seen so far on the 2021 1250RT. I ordered mine before Christmas and it's supposed to be here next month. Watching your video has me even more excited.
You hit the nail on the head when you said “maneuverability”, from a safety/survivor viewpoint on a long trip this is what separates this bike from, say, a Street/Road Glide that weight 300 lbs more, and seating position more relaxed. The RT is the Equestrian rider, Harley the Western. Great video, thx, and Swerve Carefully!
The seat and grip heating menu can be easy accessed by on of the special function buttons on the left sinde of the cover, called Favorite Keys. Key #2 does it and Key #4 is for navigation. The Rest for Audio which my RT will not have, no need for music on a bike. So you do not have to surf through the menu !
Great review!! For the heating grips you have a quick access on the second favourite button on the left panel. (1 of the 4 buttons you have for favourites as quick acces)
The first big step back happened in 2014 with banishing the front seat heating "button" to the menu. Thank godness grip heating was still available directly on the right panel. And now - this button disappears, goas also to the menu... It is very wrong decision regarding ergonomics. I totally agree with your notice regarding non-lighting buttons: BMW was always a pioneer for safety and handling the buttons in the darkness should have been paid for more attention. Common, KTM has solved this by 125 Duke from 2011.. One has sometimes the feeling that BMW bikes are designed by non-biker engineers..
@@medler2110 For sure - There are a lot. Illuminated buttons are basic in every car for a long-long time. I think it's not a coincidence. It is for safety. And is not an expensive thing. Nowadays, with LED, common..
Greetings from Sydney Australia!! Your channel is as good (if not better) than all the rest! I’m amazed at the quality of videography, stunning scenery from drone footage, plus the ability to display the best images of the bikes you review. Keep up the amazing work 🇦🇺👍
I was waiting for this road review, as you made a very interesting unboxing video. You are the first to post a riding review, and I was keen to hear your thoughts. Added to that I’ve ordered almost exactly the same specifications on my UK bike. I’m very happy you liked the bike, and my only disappointment is the back-lit controls on my £23,000 ‘toy’. I didn’t add the stereo, or exhaust as I wanted to hear the boxer sound. The cost of the paint job made my eyes water, but being a classic ‘white’ colour, and hand painted pin-stripes I just couldn’t resist! Lastly, I appreciate the effort you and the team took to fully test the cruise control (another option I added). All in all, an amazing review. Many thanks, and I’ll keep watching all your posts! 👏💪👍
@@cristiantamas what am I claiming? That it doesn’t have backlit switches and it doesn’t have Apple Android Auto? I think both of those features would be nice. That’s all I’m saying
Hi, I liked your test of R1250RT 2021. I’m receving my bike in April 2021. At a certain point of the presentation you were lokking for the button for the grip heating on the handlebar .. on the R1250RT 2021 it is the button number two (2) on the left side of the bike! Make Life A Ride, ferdi
Excellent content. Thank you for the adaptive cruise control demonstration. I don't know of any other YT creator that did this demonstration. BMW (and other OEM's with TFT's) not offering Apple's CarPlay/Android Auto is a big fail, and is preventing me from buying a new BMW. Increasingly, buyers are not interested in wonky moto OEM apps. Just let us mirror our phones. Thank you also for pointing out the lack of illuminated buttons. At the price of a new BMW, it should have lighted buttons.
Adaptive Cruise Control offers another feature, say you have set 120km/hr and come upon a car doing 100, you will slow down, as soon as you can pass, press indicator, turn and lean the bike and it will accelerate back up to 120km/hr again. Great video and camera angles, thanks for going the extra distance in producing the video.
Great review. Very informative. I have my 2020 RS now, and am considering to trade in for the new RT in couple yeas for more wind protection. I do commute on bikes in Japan, and it can be cold in the winter. The only thing holding me back is the BMW Connect App does not support the maps of Japan.
This is the review I have been waiting for. I will test ride this RT in April, providing my local dealer actually gets one! Australia always seems to get the bikes bloody last. My last bike will either be the GS/GSA, or the RT. Never ridden the RT, but the reviews have always been very positive about it. Thanks for the review, terrific as usual guys and stay safe. Currently 32 degrees Celsius at the moment where I live. Feel sorry for you guys having to wear 12 layers of clothing!! LOL.
Wow those winding roads bordered by snow like a winter dragon ha. Wonderful review, we appreciate the efforts! The new windshield does supposedly let a bit of air in at the bottom when fully elevated. That TFT dash is the best on any bike. No wonder cops love these over everything else. I normally ride with just the top case (without panniers), to stay thinner for filtering. Thanks and greetings!
The button to close the luggage compartments has always been on the right side of the handle bar, right above the Mode button, and the heated grips and heated seats were always in the menu. New with the 2021 RT is that the 4 buttons on the left fairing, which used to be dedicated for the radio, are now favorites. They can be assigned any function you want. I believe number 4 is heated grips and number 5 is navication. Like I said, you can change this. A soft press/touch will show its function on the display. A hard press will activate it.
Great review. Just bought the 2021 GS1250 (triple black). The RT looks even more capable as a motorway tourer but much of my riding is city commuting or in traffic so the GS seems like the best fit possible. Obviously, you need 148nm of torque for central Paris😂
Could be possible that in adaptive cruise control, the reason it didn't acelerate as expected, was because it was set to a lower speed than it was reached by the RR driver? In the grip heating, it is possible i think to put a shortcut to that in the left side lateral buttons (1-4). I have the 2014 BMW R 1200RT and i'm aiming in the future to have the new one. Good rides :)
I have a 2019 R1250RT and at first I was vey frustrated by the control/buttons trying to find where things were? (I was used to my R1250GS TFT) After a week or so everything became intuitive and I found that I could adjust things with my eyes closed (even the heated seats & grips). I find the RT a little slower on the turn in than my GS but 2 up it is just awesome. In the heat (Australia 40c plus) I find that it actually blocks a of the hot air where my GS has the hot air streaming around you which sort of balances out your body temp between the 2 bikes! I love both of my 1250s, the RT is our 2 up tourer, the GS is my go anywhere touring / dirt road explorer. Looking at the new dash I am not convinced it's worth changing yet and they don't do a red RT in the new model! Great review keep up the good work!
I don't normally care for white vehicles...cages or bikes...but man, does that bike look good in white. The black trim and the black pinstripes add a lot of contrast and it looks fantastic.
I love this bike . I’ll wait I heard lighted switches r coming. I think u can program favorite things like heated grips to one of the four buttons on the left. The Spezial paint scheme is beautiful. Great review like all of your reviews. U and your team do a spectacular job producing these videos 👍
@@RacingandAdventure No No problem . If you hear about BMW lighted switches arrival time can u let us know in a upcoming video? I think police models will receive the lighted switches first .👍👍👍
@@tylermclane2057 thanks for the feedback I think the new back lit switches will b great . I love the RT but I ended up getting a Goldwing DCT . I can’t tear myself away from it
Congratulations being first in the World to review the bike in road conditions. You got there first with the unboxing, but I had wondered why you hadn’t had it out. Then I saw the snowfall and realised why. Still, you’ve beaten everyone to the punch, even long running journalists like Motorcycle News (MCN). I am getting a bike this year after a gap of 7-8 years having sold my bike as a familial sacrifice. However, good as her word, the Kamp Kommandant has agreed for me to get a new BMW. She came out in Oct/Nov 2020 for a test ride on the 2020 GSAdv (not the 2021 update). I was dead set on that because the K1600 and RT hadn’t been updated and the GSAdv seemed perfect for the crappy UK roads, plus all the crash protection was appealing to me. However, having seen this, and the fact that all models come with the panniers as standard, and the latest tech, I’ll just ride carefully. The tech package is what really appeals to me, along with the comfort. It was great you did a real world test with the new ACC, but I wonder if it’s not switched on do you get auto-braking like you do in all cars after 2015? You answered our questions about how the bike is on poor road surfaces too. The other thing is the top box is a really good size. Big top boxes look out of place on a GS, and though it’s an extra cost option I’m definitely getting one. The Kamp Kommandant likes the idea of touring across Europe and this looks ideal. The only two concerns are the summer air flow, as you touched on, and me having a spaz and dropping it. The other consideration is do I get that lovely (but very costly) paint job because that is around the cost of the top box, and a few options like the 719 seat and the SOS function. The last BMW I had I max specced it. I don’t understand why people are too tight to pay for the extras. It makes the bike far more saleable when you get rid of it. Perhaps then, I shouldn’t be a tight are]se nd get it fully loaded with the 719 paint job.
Thanks for watching and for this comment. We’re happy for having you a subscriber and glad that we could answer some of your questions. If the ACC is not switched on, the bike doesn’t brake for you. I would personally go for the top-case instead of the paint, if having to choose. There will be some crash-bars for the engine, but I still wouldn’t want to crash it. Oh, and yeah, I know that we were the first in the world to try it. We had an embargo until 7th of March, otherwise we’d have done it in February. And the weather is tricky right now in our region. Not the best for riding
Agree about the illuminated switch gear. It still amazes me that unlike cars, almost no motorcycles today have illuminated switch gear, despite having advanced traction control systems and even adaptive cruise control on bikes such as this one. Really hope this gets added for future bikes
I have a 2018 K1600 GT and love the incremental heated seats and heated grips using the wonderwheel. Agree that BMW should have included integral lighting in the handle bar switches. Would have loved to see a demo of your adaptive headlights high beam not just low beam. Good review. Thanks!!
Great review and very nice update for the RT. I hear the new R1300 shiftcam Boxer engine is coming in 22 ? So that in the RT would be worth the wait....
Just one tip: I think that the four buttons on the left (near your knee) can be “favourite” functions.. So you could set one up to be the heating settings, I believe.
A short cut for the heated grips is thru the buttons on the far left side, marked 1-4. I believe #3 is heating options. Mine was shipped missing the radio, I believe BMW is short on semiconductors like other manufactures
As always great job, I’m 70 and presently own a Grand America. Love love the GA however although 200lbs lighter than my HD the RT would be very welcome.
Hi David, I was suppose to buy a k1600b this week, but when I went to the dealer, he had the new RT on the floor. Now I am confused about which bike to go for. I have always ridden in line engines, and worried about the "smoothness" of the RT.
Thanks. I didn't ride the old R1150RT. I find this one similar with the braking system on the GS when pressing the hand lever except the foot-breaking part. The braking power is exceptional. Sorry, I didn't pay attention to that part. Sorry for that! I'm usually not using the foot brake on these kind of bikes. I'll pay attention to that next time.
Thanks for your ultra quick answer. The issue is that I use the rear brake to help turning the bike in sharp bends and in filtering to smooth the behaviour between cars Pls, if you still have the bike, try it for me, it’s so important for me that if it’s like the old one, I won’t renew my current R 1200 RT LC In the 1150, if you push the pedal even slightly, the whole bike stops and you can not steer with the rear anymore Thanks a lot
Whenever old video pops out and I watch still cannot believe he is not here anymore. Rest in peace bro

Guys, you made an amazing video, especially the radar system testing. Im not sure other reviewers will be able to test the radar as thoroughly as you. Big thumbs up!
Thank you for the review, probably the first, that present adaptive cruise control in action in real life on the bike! Very informative!

I look just to see who points it out first!

Do you have any problem with your K?
Some people tell me .."the K´s comes with coil problems"
Rest in peace
Great review - thanks! Fingers crossed that BMW update the RS with the screen / nav / infotainment system from this RT!
I subscribed just for your accent. Great review!
Program the buttons on the left for heated seats and heated grips
Definitely the bike to tour Transylvania.
I saw this one in person when I was getting items off my totaled R Nine T (rear ended by a distracted driving teen). That display is 🔥 🔥 🔥!
Hold on, I didn't realize you guys started your own channel, SUBSCRIBED!
Nice to you be here!
This new r1250rt is amazing nice driving.
Great review and very nice update for the RT. I hear the new R1300 shiftcam Boxer engine is coming in 22 ? So that in the RT would be worth the wait....
Just one tip: I think that the four buttons on the left (near your knee) can be “favourite” functions.. So you could set one up to be the heating settings, I believe.
Yes, thanks for the tip. Sorry for missing that. :(
These are already pre-set and I don't believe they can be changed, but heat settings and nav are amongst them
Very agree regarding the summer! In my area sometimes 41 deg C and RT is absolutely "hot" bike due to airflow can not be managed!

As always great job, I’m 70 and presently own a Grand America. Love love the GA however although 200lbs lighter than my HD the RT would be very welcome.
Hi David, I was suppose to buy a k1600b this week, but when I went to the dealer, he had the new RT on the floor. Now I am confused about which bike to go for. I have always ridden in line engines, and worried about the "smoothness" of the RT.
Excellent review, thanks 🙏🏻
RIP man! Sad day…..😢😢😢
What happened??
Did he die?
Good vid. Didn’t know why you kept taking your hands off the handlebars while testing the adaptive cruise controls.🙄
For the grip heater you having shortcut on left side, button #2, taking you directly to heat settings what have 4 level. Otherwise is very good video.
Good review, as always. What’s your opinion and experience about the full integral ABS? Is it like the old R 1150 RT?
Thanks for your channel
Thanks. I didn't ride the old R1150RT. I find this one similar with the braking system on the GS when pressing the hand lever except the foot-breaking part. The braking power is exceptional. Sorry, I didn't pay attention to that part. Sorry for that! I'm usually not using the foot brake on these kind of bikes. I'll pay attention to that next time.
Thanks for your ultra quick answer. The issue is that I use the rear brake to help turning the bike in sharp bends and in filtering to smooth the behaviour between cars
Pls, if you still have the bike, try it for me, it’s so important for me that if it’s like the old one, I won’t renew my current R 1200 RT LC
In the 1150, if you push the pedal even slightly, the whole bike stops and you can not steer with the rear anymore
Thanks a lot
