Unfortunately, my R1200RS has to be stored outside. I'm in San Diego, CA USA so not too bad. My current cover is on its way out due to sun damage and I will soon be in the market for a new cover. The one I have fits OK, but probably designed for a bigger bike. What cover best fits the R1200RS? Any advice would be appreciated. |

I picked up a cover from Cycle Gear a couple of years ago. I use it when camping at the Moto America event at VIR. It's actually designed for a full dresser, but it works well with the RS with the panniers mounted. Covers down to the bottom of the tires and has eyelets for locking. |

On trips we use the EZ Touring Traveller A half cover because it packs small.

I'm north of you in San Francisco. I use a dowco waterproof that I got from Revzilla for about $125. I got the XXL to fully cover the bike. Like Lee, I also have a half-cover that I take touring, but that's more just to keep the seat dry. |

Zitat von dsheets im Beitrag #1 BMW Motorrad ran a Black Friday promotion here in the US, offering 20% off acessories. I took advantage of it and bought the BMW All-Weather Motorcycle Cover from my local dealer. It was just under $150 US after the discount. I can't imagine a better fitting cover exists, as this one is designed specifically for the RS (specifically the R12002, although I'm very confident it would fit the 1250 just as well). I haven't put it over the bike yet, as I just gave the bike a good wash today and am going to let it dry completely before I cover it. I did, however, have a good look at the cover out of the box, and am very impressed by it. It is black, with really nice BMW roundels which will rest in place near each side the roundels on the fairing. It has BMW MOTORRAD printed in large font along the bottom edge on both sides, and a graphic of the boxer engine head-on with "Powered by Boxer Motor" printed on the front windscreen area. It also has a clear window where the registration plate will be visible from the rear. Some of the nice features of it are that is has shrouded mesh panels for ventilation, an inner heat panel for the exhaust, a soft inner panel for the windscreen, and zippered compartments for side and top cases. These compartments appear to me to be zipped flat for use on the bike without cases mounted, but when unzipped, they release pouches which expand to cover the corresponding mounted case. Additionally, they have zippers on the pouches which allow access to the cases without having to lift the cover. There are also short bungees with hooks mounted in eyelets along the bottom edge to secure it to the bike, and the ability to use a cable lock for added security. I will be covering th bike tomorrow, and will post pictures then. Ich bin echtes RS-loch. [ I'm a real RS-hole.] |
