guest area » R1250RS Available Options

Hello all,

I'm looking at possibly buying a 2020 R 1250 RS and would like to know what to look for in the way or options that are available on them. I get confused when looking at used moto's on how BMW options them out. I've seen a few with the 719 options but what else is there to look for?

I know the 719 has billet wheels and cylinder head billet covers but are there ABS, Traction control and other options of the nature that I should be aware of other then the standard OEM options.

Thanks in advance. I'm new to the R type bikes. I rented one in europe a month ago and got the bug. I've only owned K bikes all my BMW days. currently on a 15 K1300 S that I think I'll keep on to. I enjoyed everything about the R 1250 RS..I think it will be a better tourer than my K bike is. I love the K bike for many reasons but long days in the saddle especially rain days you have less protection. I road on some heavy rain in Europe and didn't mind it as much. Granted it's not an RT but it's also smaller which I like.

There are a lot of different 719 options on different bikes. When someone say the bike has 719, it doesn't mean it has every 719 option.
If you use the Build Your Own tool on the BMW site it will show the options available.
What country are you in?

Here's the Build Your Own link for the USA bikes.

Here's a sales brochure from 2019.

Fellow,

Thank you for the links they have come in handy for putting together and understanding the options available with regards to suspension and electronics features. I'm not looking for much in the way of bling I'm wanting the best setup for performance and handling.

Thank you

If you look at the build function on BMW's website, not much has changed from past years in terms of functional options.

For 2022, they replaced the yellow color with white and got rid of the metallic brown 719. Other than that, if you want a center stand, electronic suspension, quick shifter, heated grips, cruise control, etc, you have to get the big expensive package (called either "premium" or "select" depending on what you look at).

You don't "have to". You can specify items individually but there may be very little saving if any compare to getting the complete packages. I went for an R1250RS Exclusive (in the UK) because (a) I could be reasonably sure that it would have all the "goodies" I wanted and (b) it was likely to enhance the resale value for precisely the reason that prompted this thread - a potential buyer would not be going cross-eyed trying to work out what he was buying. Even so there were extras on my bike. I bought from a dealer lightly used. He seemed unaware that the bike was equipped with an alarm. And, of course, there are also the 719 options. The only one of those worth considering in my view are the adjustable footpegs (and there are plenty of aftermarket alternatives which are cheaper). The rest is "bling"!

It might be different in the US. If I try to add any of that stuff individually, a popup says I have to add the $3000 package.

Hello all,

Chris you are correct about why I started this thread. I’m not too hung up on bling but suspension options are my concerns. The one I rented in Europe was fine but after 10 days I found that I wanted to adjust the suspension to suite me. The seating position felt fine the entire time but I felt I could do a few tweaks to the ride.

The one I rented had a few choices but not the Pro items as I’ve come to realize are available.

Thank you all for the replies. I’m enjoying your forum and I like how the mods have organized it. I joined is there a place to donate?

How do I LIKE a thread. I’ve not noticed how to do it. Sorry.
