Good vid as usual Toby , I’ve just come back from Extremadura nwest spain superb roads excellent weather and my gs singing along 😂😂 . Having said that I live here and you can ride all year round !! Oh yes 💪🏼
Thank you for the update on Barney. I look forward to further updates particularly as I am considering the RT- P myself but unsure how reliable they may be due to the use they have had. Really enjoy your videos. Safe riding.
Great bike and as reliable as any other. You could argue that they are some of the only bikes that have been used as the manufacturer intended. Fully serviced and as good as any other :)
Authorities bikes have lower final gearing, so you'll never achieve quite the same fuel economy because your revs will always be slightly higher than a non-RT/P. I'm tempted to get a Barney now. I'll keep watching the Barney series and see if you can convince me. I'm a little worried about resale value. Great video... thanks.
I've got a 2011 RT-p. I got it in April (6 months ago) and I've done 10k miles on it and its brilliant. Non cruise control RT-Ps have a bolt screw on the throttle as a manual cruise control. Did Edinburgh to Worcester in one go without a break, got about 56mpg at a steady 70
Hi I am really enjoying your videos on the ex police bike. Just had a video pop up in my feed where a guy in Australia removed the hump cover, attached some Velcro to the aluminium base plate and then attached a home made seat (he wanted to take pillion). Made me think that the next step would be to attach a large seat bag to give you the extra storage.
What brand of seat cover are you using - I find the gap between the seat and buffer piece between the seat and the box (which has the hump release) is too tight to fit a seat cover.
Guys love your videos, I'm looking at getting my own 2016 BMW 1200 RT-P. I'm hoping you can help me, I've noticed from your videos that you have changed the piece of plastic and you now have moulded sat nav shaped part about your clocks. I have been searching for the same part, (not sure of the name to search for). So it would be very helpful if you could list the parts needed to do this conversation or if you filmed it, for you to hopefully upload it please.
Where can I get that rack you have in the radio box? I have an RT-P as well and would love one of those to stop things from sliding around on the metal plate so much.
To get Barney into Spain did you go on a ferry / ship over to Spain or tour through via France... Just asking as I am at some stage going to tour out of 🇬🇧 And wondered via a ferry direct to Spain is costly ..??.. Cheers 😉👍
@@RiderCamTV Is it costly to go via Plymouth to Santander and what's the travel time. Sorry to be a pain in the derriere as it'll be a first time touring another country not go round 🇬🇧 Thanks Guys 😉👍
Hey buddy, this was the bags I got www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253464671913?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Xw5Ken5aRZW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=T5AFlsVaRv2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Had to stop the video and comment, no Toby you are just plain wrong! Crocs are not fashionable!!! They never was and never will be! My teenage son loves your videos but If he comes home wearing crocs me and mother will have no choice but to disown his ass 😏
Great review Toby, glad to see more of the RT-P and all the info you shared, it is very appreciated. 👌
incredible skills... and at the same time verbally describe the training... amazing...
I have a rtp myself! Very verr happy with it!
I have been very much looking forward to this one. Very interested in buying an RT-P.
Hey I got a mention….exceptional connected nav app !! 😂
Of course :)
I LOVE my RT they really are amazing bikes!

Your bike is so clean.........
That’s because I’m using dry sparkle :)
Do you have a link to where you got the pannier bags? I've just bought an Ex Police R1200 and it is my touring ride. Regards great channel.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I wouldn’t worry about the resale value as they seem to hold their value here in the I’m really well
Hoping to do this tour on my F800GT next year.

How does the bolt screw work? I can't get mine to tighten
@@mikeforwarduk sometimes they don't work anymore. It's just a bolt you turn to put pressure on the throttle sleeve to hold it in position
There's an ex French Police Gendarmerie Yamaha FJR1300 for sale here in Spain on Marketplace.Very tempting, lovely colour
Sound nice :)

It’s a triboseat. From amazon

I searched on eBay for an RT dashboard surround and had to keep waiting till one was put up for sale
@@RiderCamTV 👍🏻 okay thanks, I wasn't sure that I was searching for the correct named thing 👍🏻

A friend made it for me buddy
What’s under the the plate in the hump on the back
All the auxiliary wiring and battery as the hump used to house the police radio equipment so is really handy for extra wiring like dash cams etc
I always find it better taking to my bike than my Mrs 😂😂
Is the rear radio box removable to put in a back seat?
Yes mate it is although it’s an expensive job as you have to get a seat rack grab handles etc

Mark and I are tour guides for Magellan Motorcycle Tours. We take the ferry from Plymouth to Santander

Any chance of a link to the inner bags please, Toby?
Hey buddy, this was the bags I got www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253464671913?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Xw5Ken5aRZW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=T5AFlsVaRv2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
@@RiderCamTV Many thanks!
Hi, I am on my 4th ex Police bike. The link to the sports bag liners isn't working for me. Any suggestions? Great video too. Thanks
you have forgot 1 thing ; 1 lit of water to drink
Had to stop the video and comment, no Toby you are just plain wrong! Crocs are not fashionable!!! They never was and never will be! My teenage son loves your videos but If he comes home wearing crocs me and mother will have no choice but to disown his ass 😏
Hahahaha. That made me chuckle :) crocs forever! 🤣🤣🤣
