r1200gs tft display review pricelist

BMW, on the other hand, has taken an early-adopter approach to technology. Fuel injection and ABS were offered on the GS in the early ’90s. Traction control (known as ASC) and Enduro ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) were offered in 2008. Five years later, the GS got throttle-by-wire, riding modes, a Multi-Controller wheel for navigating settings and menus, multiple ABS modes, and Dynamic ESA that adapted the suspension to riding conditions. In 2019, the GS got the ShiftCam variable-valve timing system, a 5.7-inch TFT color display, and infotainment via Bluetooth connectivity to a smartphone. And the latest GS has a 6-axis IMU, which provides input for cornering ABS, lean-angle-sensitive traction control, and semi-active suspension, all of which have different settings for each riding mode. A new option on the 2024 model will supposedly do your taxes, but don’t quote me on that.

ABS is standard, as are a 10.25-inch TFT color screen with integrated map navigation and extensive connectivity and three ride modes – Road, Rain, and Eco. For 2023, the CE 04 has been updated so the self-canceling turnsignal can be switched off in the menu for the instrument cluster.

Both the F 900 R roadster and F 900 XR adventure bike have an 895cc liquid-cooled parallel-Twin that makes a claimed 99 hp at 8,500 rpm and 67 lb-ft of torque. They have a 6-speed gearbox, a slipper clutch, and chain final drive. ABS, Automatic Stability Control, and Rain and Road ride modes are standard, as are adjustable brake and clutch hand levers and a 6.5-inch TFT display. For 2023, BMW has added RDC real-time gradient tire-pressure monitoring, and the self-canceling turnsignal can be switched off in the menu for the instrument cluster.

BMW has announced a number of updates for their popular flagship model. As of model year 2018, the R1200GS Adventure’s range of optional equipment is extended to include a full-color TFT dashboard, the new generation of electronic suspension adjustment Dynamic ESA, Pro Riding modes and several specialized packages.

Among the new offerings for the R1200GSA will be a Rallye package which includes an off-road focused one-piece bench seat, radiator and frame protection and an enduro short windshield. The Rallye scheme is further emphasized with gold brake calipers and Light White/Cordoba blue paintwork.

With a focus on riding safety and riding comfort, BMW is also expanding the R1200GSA options with features such as an “Enduro Pro” mode that utilizes lean angle data to determine the proper braking force to apply. Another new option is a Dynamic ESA with a self-leveling suspension function that automatically adjusts the suspension height depending on the bike’s load.

Providing fast and clear information for the rider, the R1200GSA will also be available with a new Connectivity option featuring a high-quality 6.5 inch full-color TFT display. The TFT dashboard allows quick access to motorcycle functions through a convenient handlebar controller and can also be paired to a smartphone, further giving the dashboard access to phone functions such as calling capabilities and media playblack.

The new Connectivity option features a high-quality 6.5 inch full-color TFT display operated through a handlebar multi-controller and can also be paired to a smartphone giving access to phone functions.

A new passenger package, extra high seat, Keyless Ride as a new component of the Touring optional equipment package as well as the Shift Assistant Pro as a new feature of the Dynamic optional equipment Package round off the expanded range of options for the R1200GS Adventure.

BMW Motorrad is set to introduce a 6.5 inch TFT display instrument cluster that connects with smartphones and BMW’s helmet communication system via Bluetooth. The TFT not only displays basic data such as rpm and speed, but also a range of other features.

Media playback and phone functions can also be accessed using the TFT display or with a helmet equipped with BMW’s helmet communication system. The rider can listen to music while on the go. Apart from that, he can also access his smartphone contacts on the TFT display. All of these functions can be used without an extra app.

If you want extra information, BMW also offers an app, called the BMW Motorrad Connected. The app records riding routes or displays ride statistics and information. It can be connected to the TFT and it displays navigation like precise turn indications including lane guiding and your last destination point. The display is useful in more ways than one; it uses an integrated on-board computer that displays ride-relevant information. It displays information like the tyre pressure setting for both tyres. Not only are the actual tyre pressure settings displayed but also the recommended tyre pressures in the respective situation.

BMW plans to launch the Connectivity option on the R1200GS and R1200GS Adventure by September, with other models in tow. India will get this option when BMW Motorrad India launches the updated versions of the bikes here. Both the R1200GS and R1200GS Adventure are available in India and are priced at Rs 16.13 lakh and Rs 17.75 lakh respectively.

Not what I expected on this engine at 4000 miles… A small amount of corrosion on the main stand after just 4000 miles..not good for a bike costing this much. As another reviewer has said, the switchgear seems very cheap.”

BMW R1200GS, one of the BMW GS family ofdual-sport motorcycles, belongs to the high-end off-road vehicle segment. It was launched by BMW to compete with heavyweight rivals motorcycle brandsuch as Ducati Multistrada, Honda Crosstourer,Triumph Tiger Explorer, and Yamaha Super Tenere. The motorcycle has a rather big and impressive design. However, this special feature of the Adventure series provides maximum comfort for two people on the bike on long journeys. It Makes BMW Motorcycle Tours the Legend for all adventure lovers all over the World.

First launched in 2004, theBMW R1200GSweight is 30 kg (66lb) lighter than the R1150R that it replaced. Its 2015 model was introduced at the Intermot motorcycle show in Cologne, Germany, by Motorrad. TheBMW R1200 2018 model gets such updates as new color options, including Black Storm Metallic, Racing Red, and Cordoba Blue, as well as new features like a TFT screen instrument panel and an emergency call option.

R1200GS Adventure is highly dynamic with its legendary boxer torque of 125 Nm and an output of 125 bhp delivered by the new water-cooled 2-cylinder 4-stroke engine and has a larger capacity fuel tank and longer travel suspension than BMW R1200GS. Its cooling concept rests on a combination of air and liquid cooling.

If you love conquering these paths with a BMW motorbike in Vietnam, BMW R1200GSis perfect for you to carry out the challenges. This will be your travel buddy for extreme, long tours on bumpy roads, stony paths, or into the wilderness. Asphalt, off-road, rocks, or sand, the BMW R1200GS will never disappoint with its light, agile handling.

2021’s R1250RT is all about the electronics. Radar-assisted cruise control turns out to be bigger news than anyone thought on a bike and the new 10.25-inch TFT screen and connectivity with the BMW app makes expensive motorcycle sat-navs (almost) redundant.

The standard R1250RT costs £15,820 and the higher-spec LE model tested here is £19,105 on the road (plus an additional £500 for the gorgeous blue paint and cheesy ‘Sports’ stickers). The base model is competitive for a machine that rides this well with most of the kit that most of us would want including the new 10.25-inch TFT screen with smart phone connectivity, panniers, rear luggage rack, cornering ABS, switchable riding modes, LED headlights and old-school cruise control.

BMW’s Boxer twins share a similar architecture. There are two frames – front and back – that mount to the engine. So, in essence the R1200GS is the same platform as the R1200RT. Big conventional touring bikes share the same handling problems as big conventional adventure bikes. They need soft suspension to soak up bumps, but they also have a lot of weight at the front, usually quite high up, which means they need substantial springs. When you brake, all that weight goes crashing downwards, using all the suspension travel very quickly, giving your lazy tourer the temporary steering geometry of a sports bike. As you release the brake it all springs back up again and your geometry resembles a chopper right at the point you want to start steering.

The big news is that, while the RT is last bike in the range to get BMW’s TFT display, it makes up for it by getting the dashboard equivalent of your mate Dave’s 83-inch flat-screen home cinema. The R1250RT’s 10.25 inches is a lot of inches for pretty-much any purpose, and it allows some really useful options about what information is displayed and how. Everything from resetting the trip meter to setting up your phone and navigation is controlled via the menu button and spinny-wheel and, mostly it’s straightforward and intuitive. New for this year are four pre-set buttons so you can get to the things you need most (like the seat and grip heater controls) quickly.

BMW’s TFT displays are designed to work with their ‘Connected’ app. The app has two main functions; it monitors the status of your bike and reminds you of things like service requirements and it plans routes and measures data on your rides, which is the really interesting bit.

The new 10.25-in TFT screen is clear with the main information all there. Rev counter, speed, adaptive cruise indicator along with some comfort features like the heat setting of your grips and seat. You can also see how much charge is in your phone while it’s being wirelessly charged in its own compartment.

You can split the display on the screen to show navigation on one half or choose to have the entire screen as a map, It’s all very intuitive once you get the hang of the rotary wheel control and the menu switch which are more intuitive than, say an Africa Twin and its myriad of buttons. Like most other things in life, it pays to read the manual and have a play before you start trying things on the move.

As we all know,the more security you use, the less chance there is of your bike being stolen.In fact, based on research by Bennetts, using a disc lock makes your machine three times less likely to be stolen, while heavy duty kit can make it less likely to be stolen than a car.

The sport dash (only available with ‘Riding Modes Pro’) gives you feedback on your braking pressure, displaying the maximum reached until you turn the engine off. You can also see the deceleration G-forces on the BMW Motorrad Connected app.

The mirrors give a good, wide angle of view though they do blur the image through vibration (which isn’t obtrusive through the bars, seat or pegs). There’s some space under the rear seat – which will be handy for a disc lock – and the TFT screen is clear and easy to read and navigate.

That app also records your whole journey (if you want), with accurate mapping displaying all of the trip for replay at up to four-time speed. At any point, you can view your acceleration and deceleration G-forces, where you activated ABS, lean angle, altitude and speed (you can disable that). You can also check out the Bike’s fuel level, service status, mileage etc. It’s by far the best bike connection app yet released by any manufacturer. And unlike some KTM Roman Vilimek, BMW’s leader of the apps development, tell me it will always remain free to download on iOS and Android.
