If you have the bags, then go keyless. The only thing I don’t like about keyless is that you have to press two buttons to start, and the fact that the panniers and top box have to take a key.

What I always do with keyless also is leave the key in the lock that releases the seat! I put the iPhone under the seat as that’s where my charger is. I rode 200 miles once with it in there! Good job my phone is under seat otherwise the bike could be taken!

It is a possibility... I ll have more info on Monday.
If that's the case I ll be asking for my down-payment refunded. Not buying a 2019 bike which is delivered same time as the 2020 bikes are announced.
Or probably BMW Hellas is reserving all the factory slots for GS models which is what they primarily sell in Greece.
Again it would help if anyone could confirm RS deliveries are as originally advertised in other EU countries.
Thanks....

You rode with keys in seat lock for 200 miles, good job phone was under seat .... ah get it, you went for phone and....

I pulled up outside a block of flats and there was a 125cc bike on road with L plates, and yes keys in seat lock, i took the keys out and left a note on the bike that the keys were with the manager of these flats, lad collected them 3 hrs later, never even said thank you !!!

...that’s my point, if they we’re all keyless... I had a BMW car once where the ignition was keyless but the door wasn’t. Unlock door, jump in, put key in door pocket, press start button, finish journey, jump out, forget key...!

I leave my keyless fob in my pocket as I had a dumb key made. This will remove the seat but has no chip to start the bike. I have left keys in seat locks or topbox before now and wandered off to do some shopping

Prefer a bike with a key if BMW didn't offer it as an option I would either keep my 2015 bike or buy something else .

Must have spares, as the insurance wouldn’t pay out if keys left in ignition.

Or we live on the Isle of Sark...

It’s a good idea, but doesn’t define keyless, especially if your now carrying two keys with you. All locks should be keyless when keyless is the option.

What is the thinking on the 1250 regarding delivery schedules? Given the "limited" production and limited color choice for 2019, I'm thinking of waiting for 2020. A 2019 that doesn't get delivered until Fall is not going to do me much good, and I'm hoping for a broader color selection next year.

From the posts here, it seems as though obtaining a 2019 model in a proper time frame is questionable. You UK guys seem to have gotten some indication of March/April delivery, but in the US I'm not confident that will happen.

Thanks.
