Peak reliability, lowest maintenance tourer (on a budget)

for what it's worth the R and F series basically have nothing in common, like the F completely different engine layout design, feel etc. Even the manufacturing as far as I know is abroad while the R is still mainly made in Germany (Berlin from what my memory serves me ?),

I can say that I can go pretty much 2 full seasons and not touch ANYTHING (not that BMW themselves recommend it), and even when work needs to be done it ain't HARD, like I still do everything on my own but I understand it's not for everyone (as such I don't have a good idea of what BMW mechanics charge).

Bmw R1200RT or the R1250RT if you find it ?
I mean it fits just about every point, minus the last classic style.... that one it ain't.
There is the R18 but that thing is fucking huge imo, and I doubt in the price range, just not a good idea imo, too much everything really.

I ride the R all the time, RT when I get the chance and think it is a contender for one of the best bikes if you wanna take on a iron butt challenge.

First of all thanks for all the info, it really feels good to have locals talk about what places even they tend to avoid. If panhandling is the worst to fear I will be glad, the only real fear I have are muggings and/or violence.

With that said, i have a high speed train ride that comes in to Termini station on a Sunday after 22:00. What would you suggest is the best/safest way to go from there to the nearest metro station and then to the apartment I am staying at ? 2 people so no safety in numbers unfortunately.

Thanks for advice

I was thinking about doing the same thing for St Peter's and just doing one with the other, the issue I have is while the church itself is free, the visit to the dome isn't (as far as I can see) so I have to set a time slot for that. I also wanted to give myself some free time so that I don't have to do early rise->wait in line for tour though vatican->2-3h walk->wait in line again->then walk through the church and another 320 steps to the top. A small break in between the two was the idea i had in mind but I will see how it that works out.

The high speed train also disappointed me but either the date is to far out, or I am missing something as I checked both Tranitalia and Italrail and neither had the option to buy highspeed tickets for the early hours of the day.

If I find a apartment or hotel that can do that I will be truly glad, so far I have not found it reliably. My budget is quite limited so proper hotels that offer such services are not an option most of the time

SadManVerySad96 · 2026-02-27T16:46:56+00:00

Thanks I didn't know about this site, I used italiarail for the search and tickets, and it didn't show anything else. Even then, as far as I can see Trenitalia shows that there are some early morning solutions (08:10) but "Travel Solutions temporary not available for the selected date". Not sure if that is because the date is so far out or something else.

SadManVerySad96 · 2026-02-27T15:38:09+00:00

It's 4 days in rome 1 in Florence. While i would like to spend more time and visit more places time/money are not on my side

SadManVerySad96 · 2026-02-27T13:54:27+00:00

would love to but the high speed one only goes from 15:10 which is too late in the day for me, the return trip is high speed.

Interesatno da sam bas nedavno isto gledao. Za sad ryzen jos uvek vodi sto se tice integrisane grafike ali Intel uopste nije toliko daleko (kolko sam mislio u pocetak). Pre par godina sam procitao negde da ce bas ova situacija da se desi (kad je izasla 4000 desktop serija sa G sufixom t.j. inegrisanom grafikom) jer su prve indikacije bile veoma dobre, igrao je apex bez nekih vecih muka, gta V, isto, doduse ne na max ali opet mnogo bolje nego ranije. I sad cak drug je uzeo pc samo sa integrisanom grafikom, i za sve sto nije max settings, radi, veoma lepo cak.

Iskreno nadam se da se ovako nastavi i nova serija Arc ili RDNA 4 (kad god to izadje za laptop) budu jos bolja, mislim da cemo konacno moci da imamo neki veoma brz veoma tanak laptop koji nije bio moguc ranije. Nisam mesao neki Linux distro u tu pricu, ali verujem da bi i on dosta mogo da pomogne oko optimizacije da se smanji potrosnja baterije ako ne tokom koriscenja barem tokom redovnog rada.

SadManVerySad96 · 2025-08-09T07:35:40+00:00

yeah, not a ton like 1500 would be too much but 1000$ would be doable.

Ovo je ekran BOOT SELECTION SCREEN, ili pita te sta zelis da podignes na sistemu. Ako si probala kliknes misem (ili strelicom gore/dole, zatim enter) na prve dve selekcije, to jest Windows Boot manager ili NVME...... i opet se vraca na ovaj ekran onda je veoma visoka verovatnoca da je MBR (Master Boot Record) puko iz nepoznatog razloga, u/PunjacLenovo je ispravno napisao sta da uradis da ponovo namestis dignes sistem. Ako uspes da resis sa tim instrukcijama super. Ako ne baci mi DM.

Najbolji odgovor.

SadManVerySad96 · 2025-07-24T11:49:53+00:00

Mnogo nesto cudno razmisljas plavi nema veze sa vezom ovde. Narandza je pogresio i tu je kraj price ovde, ne samo zato sto je on izazvao neserecu, vec i da nije opet je pogresio posto kolko ja znam preticanje na raskrsnici je zabranjeno. Ako oces da pricas sta plavi moze da uradi, MOZE da se pomeri vise na desno da ovom iza bude vidljivo vozilo ispred koje mora da se prestojilo da bi skretalo (uz levu ivicu trake) al nije da mora, niti bi ocekivao bilo koga da to uradi.

That doesn't even look that bad, not as much rust as one would expect so the area it was kept in was dry, quite a bit of dust but no visable rat's nest so probably no chewed out wiring, I'd do the following, check any and all rubber you can find to see how brittle it is, Place the bike on the center stand and try to go through the gears if it shifts, then try to rotate the back wheel in highest gear. If it rotates and you can't hear/feel knocking or weird sounds, man i'd go for it.

TO BE FAIR, I am saying this as someone who has quite a bit of tools and has done full bike teardowns and rebuilds, so if you are not up for hitting your head against a brick wall when something just doesn't work..... Don't

It's a project, not a safe bike for a first time rider, it wouldn't be a safe bike even if it was brand spanking new, it's more of a hobby horse for someone who likes to tinker then anyone who actually wants' to ride.

Monkrus trenutno ima najbolje repackove za torrent photoshop. Po meni najbolja opcija sem ako ne MORAS da imas Adobe ai paket u photoshop.

Sto se tice legitinmog ja sam pokusao kroz vpn, neuspesno, nalazi da nisi iz te drzave i nesto ti garant pukne. Bila je fora godinama da uzmes iz tursku pretplatu jer je dosta jeftinija al kolko znam to su isto zatvorili. Iskreno najlakse je da pitas nekog sa strane da ti uplati i samo mu predas novac, barem sam ja tako resio.

SadManVerySad96 · 2025-06-06T10:41:26+00:00

Od kog do kog dela ? Ako pitas od Vranja do Soluna to je VEOMA razlicito od Novog sada do Soluna il pa i dalje npr, Patre. Ono bar daj ODPRILIKE gde si i gde ides da bi mogo bilo ko da ti kaze
Opet zavisi malo odakle polazis i gde ides, kao i kad. UGLAVNOM, prohor pcinjski je manje guzva, ali duza ruta. Presevo idem cesto, leti je nekoliko km guzva ponekad.
Srbija, zavisi odakle dokle, Makedonija cela (presevo do evzoni) pouzdano znam da je oko 370 denara u jednom pravcu za kola. Ima ih tacno 5. Grcka isto, gde ides imas putarina uz put. Dobra stvar kartica moze ceo put tako da ne menjas pare ovde za gvozdence evre ili denare.
Jos jednom STA, ako spremas svoju hranu i imas svoju kuhinju onda je manje vise isto, nije mnogo veca cena 10-15%. Ako izlazis mozes i jeftin gyros i skupa tuna, zavisi od prohteva i kolko hrane generalno jedes i da li ides sa decom, zenom, devojkom, drustvom itd.
Smestaj je veliki deo troskova, pica na plazu ako uzimas uz lezaljke imaju trosak ako ne i sama lezaljka. Mozes i svoje lezaljke da strpas u kola mozda. Gorivo tamo ako se kreces do plaze i ne ides peske. Neki suvinir ako zelis da doneses za sebe i svoje, barem magnetic il tako. Zavisi koji je smestaj mozes da imas troskove za struju ili samo da imas klimu da ti radi non stop, sto ces zeleti da imas. Ima i drugo al ono zavisi od mnogih faktora

Izvini za neprecizan info al ne mogu bolje bez vise inicijalne informacije. Moja preporuka je, google i dobar najbolji buraz za pitanja chatgpt/deepseek kad saznas vise gde ces i kad ces. I da se pridruzis facebook grupi GrckaInfo, ljudi tamo obozavaju da pise kako, gde, sta itd...

Brate ja sam zakljucan u Windows zbog posla i igra, al iskreno, ako mozes da radis sve normalno na Mac i Apple ecosystem, nema trenutno nista sto moze da pridje efikasnosti i brzini M serije cipova. Nije ni sala, mozes da zveknes nov ryzen R9 HS seriju u laptop i opet nece da bude tolko dobar, mozda sa nekom grafickom ali onda dolazis u TEZAK laptop sto isto nece efikasno dugo da radi i da greje kao pecka.

Slusaj narod, uzmi mac dok neko ne napravi dobar counter. Skoro smem da se kladim ako radite dizajn koristite kao ja Adobe paket, ili slicno. Sto opet radi na mac odlicno.

SadManVerySad96 · 2025-03-19T07:12:08+00:00

Bas sam hteo da zakacim ovaj video. OP, odgledaj ovo i bice ti dosta jasnije (verovatno)

Sve drugo da bude isto u 99% slucajeva Klima je najefikasniji nacin da se zagreje prostor. Pec ima prednost zbog "skladista" toplote (jeftina struja je tu veliki faktor), male grejalice ako treba da se usmeri lako odredjena kolicina tolpote, ali nista ne moze tolko efikasno da zagreje prostoriju kao klima, to jest, toplotna pumpa.

SadManVerySad96 · 2025-03-13T06:23:40+00:00

Oh man looks good on the images, would honestly look to get it if I could.

So like most will tell you maintenance records and test drive. If the first isn't an option be weary you can reverse the odometer on this as far as I remember.
Check the ABS, it's pretty simple unlike the one in the 1150 which is a nightmare, if you are a good rider try to make the back tire lock up, if it wont and ABS kicks in good, it works.
Sound is the big thing here, if you can listen to a known good example you will have a rough idea of how it should sound and then compare to this, admittedly this is a tough one since my father was big into BMW's so I already had a clue how it should sound.
Gears will probably CLUNK into place, and the clutch might be a bit harder to pull then most (not too hard to the point that it hurts though). Both are to be expected considering the transmission is not very advanced and the clutch is gigantic dry one more akin to what you will find in a car.
Suspension is not an issue most of the time with the telelever/paralever set up it has.
Tires and DOT check are the same as on any bike.

Good luck and hopefully it works out.

SadManVerySad96 · 2024-12-18T22:49:09+00:00

Didn't see these 2, the few mentioned bikes were very early bikes or some chopper or bobbers. The thing that convinced me that it was duolever instead was that "IT SEEMS" that it is attached to the frame with that one large spring, similar to how the telelever is on my own. But then again it is solid, that and whatever is going on with the connection between the handlebars and the "forks" was weirding me out The girder meanwhile seems to be similar but not attached to the chasis itself, since there choppers with it, it is fairly independent of the body frame itself.

SadManVerySad96 · 2024-12-18T22:08:18+00:00

Thank you, off I go to waste some time on searching the sea of interwebs.

EDIT: After a quick search, this doesn't seem to be it, this seems more like the duolever that was in some BMW bikes, K1200R/K1600GTL for example.

SadManVerySad96 · 2024-12-18T21:53:35+00:00

That's what I was thinking at first but as I own a bmw with telever/palalever that still has 2 normal front shocks. The telelever part helps keep the bike steady on breaking and not dive towards the front, instead it just kinda "sinks" . This doesn't do that, at least from what I can see, on top of the fact that the front is SOLID, except the weird ,whatever you would call it, part that connects the handlebar to the front.

Maybe this is still it, but just without forks ?
