BMW R1250RS Quick Review

Interesting video - the 5 pluses i agree with, from the 5 negatives the screen is the only one that really matters the others are nitpicks that don't bother me...and oddly enough at 6ft the std screen doesn't give me any issues on my RS..it seems to annoy taller or short riders...subjective I guess. Out of the 8 or so BMs i have owned over the years this one is the best all round package ...just progressive development showing i guess. It is smooth, powerful when needed, quiet and fast ...and has the best gearbox so far....but my 1200R seems to have a better gearbox...it is silent into 1st gear, the RS only sometimes is. Probably oil type and weight perhaps ?

Pretty good analysis on both likes and dislikes! I currently own my first '16 R1200RS and like it a lot. I love the water-cooled boxer engine for it's simplicity, reliability, smoothness, and torque). I do like the lack of symmetry of the engine (and sometimes headlights) - I find it unique and nice, but do understand it is very subjective. I totally agree with you that the indicator light housings could be better, if not flushed. The rear black plastic stub with the screw - not good! I upgraded the inner pieces with LED lights from an American company, Cyclops and they are fantastic. I bought headlights as well and I feel much safer to ride to be seen and also to see. In any case, really enjoyed your video!!!

Did not have issues with connected app with R18 or XR. Maybe you need an update. Regarding boxer engines, it bothers me that both sides are not symmetrical from the top view

JUST RIDE THE DAMN BIKE lol best bike i ever rode
