New R1250R and RS for 2019 Confirmed today !
Print view
|
Back in August I was made a good offer for my 2016 with 39,000 miles on her. Anticipating a nice makeover for 2019, I sold and set the funds aside. The headlights and TFT were on my wishlist but so was a relocated GPS mount above the display where it belongs. However this is easily done with a Wonderlich adapter, same as I did on my 16. I DID NOT expect the 1250 motor to be placed on the RS until the following year. Icing on the cake as they say!

It looks like the screen mounts are the same on the new bike, which means all our expensive aftermarket screens should be interchangeable. Phew!

I would buy the black panniers for my slow Black 2017 RS if they fit... they look great.... wont be upgrading .. to the 1250... my Sport SE is a keeper... love the slightly odd headlight look... new one is very like the S1000RR not individual enough... |

Zitat von JohnnyRockett im Beitrag #170 I think BMW have decided that their sales now justify them attacking the mainstream Jap manufacturers on their own terms and not selling to people seeking an alternative. Bit of a shame really. I bought my first BMW a K75S triple across the frame because it was different and have loved things like Duolever front suspension, shaft drive on almost-sports bikes, factory panniers on almost-sports bikes, asymmetric headlights, air-cooled boxer twin engines, heated grips when no-one else fitted them because they were different. Progress I s'pose.

Just spotted this new video from BMW, introducing the 5 new 1250 bikes.
You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape

Zitat von IPaul im Beitrag #172 What else is new?  And if you think that is bad, just ask what the F800GT lovers believe that BMW thinks of their model.  BTW, I think the presenter in that video could use a haircut and maybe he could also be a little more enthusiastic in his presentation.

I found it interesting that near the end of the 1200 vs 1250GS video review it was mentioned that BMW had switched brake component manufacturers from Brembo to U.S.-made Hayes calipers. I wonder why? And will that be for all of their new models?

Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #175 I bet it will not be so easy to source Hayes replacement brake pads from anywhere but BMW, as I don't think Hayes makes motorcycle brake calipers for any other brand.  Like what BMW did with the belt drive on the F800GT and some of their other belt-drive models in the past.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #176Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #175 I doubt Hayes make their own pads - Ferodo list pattern pads for Hayes brakes on Polaris snowmobiles in their catalogue https://www.ferodoracing.com/pdf/catalog...e_catalogue.pdf Ferodo make OE pads for many makes and even if they are not the OE supplier, they will have pattern parts on the market pretty soon as they seem very popular with GS riders and that is a big market. |
Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #174 The R and RS still appeared using Brembo F/R. |
|
|
Yes, that what I read somewhere about the RS brakes. Still using Brembo. |
|

My Can am Spyder brakes are branded HB. Newer Spyders with the larger wheels use Brembos
I would like to apologize to anyone I have NOT offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.
