Hey Doug,

I don't have one.. but do have an 1150GS and just sold my R1100S. A buddy has an '03 R1150RT, which I've ridden for many hours. Bottom line: I think its the best "sport" tourer on the market. Plenty of horsepower, good fuel economy, great ergonomics, personality. Its probably not as good a touring bike as a Gold Wing, but when the road gets twisty, you'll be glad you're not on a big pig. Only downside I can think of is the relatively short maintenance interval, 6000 miles. But that's only suggested, and valve adjustments and oil changes are fairly easy on BMWs.
