A recent convert from sports tourers to the out and out tourer and to say I weighed up the options is an understatement! No it doesnt have the smooth delivery of the Pan or any Goldies and the gearbox can be agricultural but for sheer reliability comfort economy and reliability you will not find a better tourer than the R1150RT. The electric screen is superb but may not be perfect for taller rider as I,m only 5ft 7 so its perfect for me and as for heavy I can manage it around town and put it on its centre stand with ease, so weight is not an isssue and to boot I get 50 to the gallon ....easily. Servicing and parts can be expensive but find yourself a mechanic away frpm BMW prices and you are on to a winner. MIne will never be for sale so buy one ..you wont regret it.
Ride safe....
