  Hmm... tempting. Can&apos;t decide between this and a Royal Enfield HNTR 350.

  Would love to hear how your wife compares the passenger accommodations of this bike vs the Wing and others.

  So I have been waiting, and waiting, and waiting on this review before I purchased another bike. Firstly, let me say that I am new to YouTube and have been reviewing bikes for a very short period of time now. You set the standard for what I am trying to accomplish with my reviews. <br><br>Next, let me say that I rode this bike about a month ago and did a review on my channel and I would like to echo everything that you have said. You hit the nail on the head, but you did one thing that I could not articulate which is provide an accurate comparison between this bike and the GS and the Goldwing. Thank you so much for the quality work and for setting such a high standard for me to try to aspire to. You’ve done an excellent job and now I know which bike I’m going to buy next.

  Ifreelance for our local BMW dealer and ride all models on a weekly basis. When the new RT came out I was underwhelmed, but it wasn&apos;t until i was able to spend 300 miles on one of these in the twisties or our state. it is simply the most amazing motorcycle I have ridden in many years and Ian is 100% right with his comments. Everyone who badmouths this bike needs to ride one. I can guarantee you willcome back a convert.

  Thanks for your review on this. &nbsp;I took the plunge and pick the bike up Friday. &nbsp;My biggest criteria was comfort for my wife. &nbsp;She&apos;s had a back surgury and this setup was the best for her. &nbsp;We tried a goldwing but surprisingly the shape and firmness of the throne felt awful for her. &nbsp;The R1300RT for her was much nicer than the outgoing R1250RT

  Hi Ian-Great review on this BMW R1300 RT. You really demonstrated the essence of how this bike runs and handles in the ride portion of your review. A friend of mine here in WI purchased the 2026 R 1300 RT this Fall. He was always impressed with my R1250 RT. And, after he was able to demo a 1300 RT, he made the purchase because he was even more impressed. At any rate, great job on your review and work..... and all the best. Cheers.

  GSA has similar levels of comfort and performance but now you have a whole world of dirt to explore..... that&apos;s always been the limiting factor for me. Plus, the R or RS can also tour but more fun off the highway.... we are spoiled for choice :)
