I really fancy an R1150RT for my twice weekly 75 mile commute- mostly motorway with a bit of London.
I'm a bit behind with this thread. I had the 1150GS and rode all the other versions as dealer loan bikes. They're all great. I was one of the few owners who had the gearbox explode. Probably just unlucky. OK, I did thrash it, but I'm sure most people do. It was terminal because tiny bits of gearbox circulate throughout the whole engine. Don't let my experience discourage you. The 6 speed box on the 1150 is lovely to use, unlike the 5 speed one on the 1100. At least it didn't seize and chuck me off.

Am I wrong?
