R1200RT rider right here. Also have another fine sporting ride or two in the barn but this RT is outstanding. Never considered myself an "RT kind of rider" until renting one overseas following business there and the bike totally overdelivered as I toured Normandy and France, picking a week of nasty, cold, blustery wet weather.
The bike routinely win shootouts/comparisons, can go cross country on the things, can also surprise more sporting breeds in the canyons. A superb bike. But us RT owners already know that.
Left a recent RT ride report
here.
