BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Front spring is HD due to all the agressive and numerous stop/starts done expected in police driving, not to ofset the battery weight. The metro panniers are longer and more forward than regular - everything I've seen says that they will interfere with passenger. Not all authority bikes are ordered ...

Looked it up on a couple of websites and it shows "available", as opposed to "back ordered", which means there's one somewhere in the supply chain available in either US or Germany (or where ever they're made). Does say 10 to 12 days delay before it gets shipped. So worst case US...

1. This issue is not limited to BMW motorcycles or even motorcycles at all. Simply put EU (and other governing bodies) do not let manufacturers ship vehicles with speedometers that read low. They *do* allow them to ready as much as 10% faster. So BMW, like other manufacturers, make certain that all ...

However, there are lots of other reasons as well.

So there is no Sat Nav integrated on the new TFT screen ? Unfortunately no - you must use the BMW Connected App on a smartphone. No phone, no GPS. Also the connectivity is a combination of Bluetooth and Wifi which is wonky at best. Effectively BMW released all of this TFT Connectivity stuff while i...

My understanding is that the lifetime updates are connected with the serial number of the BMW Nav unit, unlike other Garmin products. Also, several dealers in the US are selling their older BMW Nav VI units which are v1.x, and they are not the newer Nav VI v2.0 (really should have been Nav VII). So ...
