I Was Nervous to Ride This! BMW R1300RT First Impressions ๐Ÿ๏ธ

The BMW R1300RT is the BIGGEST bike I've ever ridden, and I'll be honest, I was genuinely nervous getting on it! But once I got going, this luxury touring machine completely won me over.

In this first ride review, I share my raw, unfiltered thoughts on:
โœ… That incredibly comfortable heated seat (seriously, it's LUSH)
โœ… The smooth power delivery from the 1300cc boxer engine
โœ… Riding in auto mode vs manual shifting
โœ… Electric windscreen adjustment & blind spot monitoring
โœ… Cruise control and all the high-tech electronics
โœ… How it handles despite being so heavy (spoiler: better than expected!)

00:00 First ride
01:30 The auto gearshift
03:15 So much tech
07:30 Smooth power delivery

The R1300RT comes loaded with features - heated grips, heated passenger seat, massive panniers, and that lower centre of gravity that makes it surprisingly manageable. But is it worth the price tag?

Watch as I navigate traffic, hit the motorway, and tackle some twisties while getting to grips with BMW's flagship tourer.

What do you think about automatic motorcycles? Let me know in the comments!
