I have been looking at a new bike for this year to get back into biking, so far I have been looking at big adventure bikes.

Someone told me to consider the BMW R1100RT, anyone ride one of these, are they any good?

The R1100RT isn't an adventure bike. You need to look at R1150GS or the newer R1200GS if you're looking for an adventure bike. The RT is a fully faired road only touring bike. The GS is a great bike, but only if you've got an above average inner leg measurement. They're quite a tall bike.

I am about 6 foot tall, so height is not an issue.

I was talking to a mate who showed me a few of the RT's, the price was quite cheap compared to the GS.

I was after something just to eat up miles comfortably, my last bike an RF900R, had my back and shoulders aching after a couple of hours riding.

1200RT is a good bike, stable and handles well. Still prefer my FJR though

I have recently returned from a trip to Morocco on a 1997 R1100GS without any issues and probably the most comfortable of all bikes I have owned over 40 years! It is a better all-round bike than the RT but is hefty! There is a reason the GS has been so popular for at least 20 years

When looking at any older BMWs check the gauges and ABS work!

I have a r1100gs

Heavy at slow speeds but lovely big bike.

Only thing I find it's a 5 speed box your look for another gear.

Look at the 1200 gs

I had an R1100rt lovely bike really comfy with bonus that that screen goes up and down at the touch of a button ideal on motorway but they are heavy when not moving
