Bmw k1200rs as a daily commuter

Advantages: Brilliant fuel consumption, shaft drive, inexpensive to maintain if done by self, excellent build
Disadvantages: There are better looking 10year old plus bikes out there!

I passed my direct access in March 2010 and had done a lot of research to find out what would be the best commuter for my 65 mile round trip to work and back. If you are in the same position, you might want to consider the following points: Fuel consumpti ...

Review of BMW K1200RS

20,000 miles on a BMW K1200RS and a K1200GT

Advantages: Comfort, speed, economy, ABS

Review of BMW R1100RT

24,000 miles with R1100RT

Advantages: Comfort, handling, its a Beemer
Disadvantages: Its a beemer, running cost , silly design faults, headlight.

I purchased my RT in Jan 1998 new for £11,000. Being 6ft 4in and 18 stone it really was the only option for a daily commute of 120 miles. For the first year I commuted daily but now only commute about two to three times a week. My overall impression is th ...
