OEM sport vs full screen

Post by keith1200r »

Hi all.  I have posted this on bmwlt.com so apologies if you have already seen it, but I am trying to get more opinions on the questions.
I am currently riding an R1200R LC. I have recently ridden a 2020 R1250RT and plan on ordering a new 2021 model. The model I tested had the full sized screen which seemed to work well for me (6' tall, 34" inside leg, standard seat in high position). I was, however, wondering about the OEM sport screen but have find no reports on it compared to the OEM standard screen. Most discussions seem to be about third party screens compared to the OEM standard screen.
Thanks in advance.
Keith

Hi Keith. I stand by the comments you will see on the other forum.
The sports screen looks great but offers little protection.
The OEM screen seems to be acceptable to some, but believe me, the Werks Quiet Ride screen is SO MUCH better.

Thanks. I have ordered it with the full screen (but could probably change it if necessary)

I'd leave the order as original, and just buy the correct height Werks QuietRide screen.
