Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #57 I have a question. Did the Wethead RS and R ever ship with Hayes calipers in Europe? They always had Brembo in the US.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #61Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #57 Not that I saw. I have ridden demo GS & XR that had Hayes brakes. I have also ridden several R1250RS that only ever have Brembos. The Hayes are very good when not pissing fluid.

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #63 I think you might be one of those customers who needs to sit at a desk in a bricks & mortar shop. Sports exhaust is a tick box in the comfort package as a swap out for the chrome job, extra £120 The options are a mess, though. You click one thing and it says another item has been deleted. I think I will stop playing with it now, as I'm not going to be ordering one! I don't think panniers have ever been in the configurator as they will be an accessory sold by a dealer, not shipped with the bike from the factory.

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #63 In the US, those are both through the parts department at the dealer, IME. As for mounting a Kriega, I'd recommend getting the luggage rack also if you want to do that.

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #63 You order the panniers from your dealer separate from the bike order. The panniers do not come on the RS from the factory. They only do that on bikes that have panniers as standard equipment like the RT. The Akrapovic will probably show on the configure page at a later date. Edit: I just checked the R1250R configure page and do not see the Akrapovic. It's possible it might not be a option this year. Lee |

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #66Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #63 I think the Akra IS an option, as it's prominently displayed in the intro video. Maybe it's Europe-only, but I doubt it. I think you're right that it'll show later. |

Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #65Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #63 If I elected the "passenger" kit, I know a Kriega will tie down with straps going under the passenger seat. Something I'd have to think about. While that tricolor plastic seat "cap" looks cool, and the passenger peg deletion would be aesthetically pleasing, function is a higher priority for me than simple "form". Thanks. |

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #66Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #63 Too bad you can't just order the Brushed Stainless stock muffler. Pretty much stuck with the chrome thing in the US. I don't know how the dealer or BMW AG did it, but my 2016 came thru with all the premium features BUT keyless and the chrome exhaust. That's been a good combination for me.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #69Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #66Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #63 Sounds like you had the 2016 stock SE Sport with no options selected. My bike was bought from dealer stock but it had 2 options fitted in the factory. The chrome exhaust and keyless. The exhaust was no cost but I had to pay for the keyless.

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #68Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #65Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #63 I have a 30L Kriega. Even if you go for the 20L, I think you'll have a difficult time finding mount points for the web loops without the rear rack. Even if you do, you'll be pushing the pack further forward than would be ideal.
