The other issue with the R1250RS at high speed is gas consumption. When touring, I tend to stay at 80mph or below and still only have about 180 mile range (max). It does get much better mileage at 70 or lower, just not as much fun (for me). For those of us out west, there are several place where gas stations are very sparce. |

Zitat von c10 im Beitrag #16 That's wild :) That was our bikes at the Edelweiss Inn across from the Filling Station and that was me at Walmart. 20221019_093958.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) Lee |

Zitat von Unkgd im Beitrag #17 That's true. We also limit ourself to cruising at 80 or less in the western states and the open areas of Texas so we don't have trouble with gas. The first couple trips taking hwy 90 out to Big Bend and back we would cruise faster but it was making the gas stops iffy so we kept the speeds to 80 or less. Out in that part of the Texas it seemed like the tires would melt pretty fast with the heat and coarse chip seal roads. Lee |

Small world it is Lee . My wife thought I was a nut waiting for you at Walmart to talk about your RS . I saw you , and your wife around the area many times over that week. I rolled in one evening into your hotel to see if anyone was around to bench race with but just several other BMW's of RT and GT series . They watched me roll in on the Tiger but no RS I just went right back out to riding . |

mototop tube channel got 146 I think on the autobahn .... It was up close to the red line and big twins tend to be less likely to rev high .... you can watch the video .... it definitely wasn't hitting a rev limiter. ....
