Adaptive Cruise Control coming in MY2021 ... but will the RS get it? - Grumpy Goat - 06-30-2020
BMW Releases Details On Active Cruise Control System
Likely to appear in the K1600XXX bikes and hopefully with other touring and sport touring bikes also, like the RS ...
I have it on my car and like it a lot.

When the keyless fob came out in cars, I immediately liked it, I could see how it would benefit me. When BMW put it on their bikes, I thought it was a solution looking for a problem, I didn't see a need for me personally. I have gotten used to the keyless, yes, but I still think it's a toy as far as motorcycles are concerned.
I feel the same about adaptive cruise: seems like a good idea for a car but not so much for a motorcycle. But, hey, bring it on, let's see what happens.

I'm all for it

The RT and the new R1800 Touring models with adaptive cruise control also have fully integrated brakes.
I like being able to control the rear brake by itself for slow sharp turns, especially on a sandy or gravel surface.
I'm guessing when the RS gets the 1300 engine in 2025 or so it will get adaptive cruise and fully integrated brakes.

This news does not make me think more of new bikes.
I have it on my car with pretty comprehensive anti-collision features. yes I mostly like these on my car.
My car's adaptive cruse will stop and start my car so works very well in heavy traffic...I can set the following distance, etc. I dom't know where my car's adaptive cruse feature end or overlap anti collision. Most important point if some one moves quickly in to my path the brakes are automatically applied HARD
I do not want auto stop and start on my bike, do not want emergency level of braking applied. Adaptive cruse may be ok above 40 for cruising on interstates but I what to be easily to turn it off or not use it all on winding secondary roads.

My experience is similar to yours, Bob, and if it is included on any future BMWs I will not be unhappy and will likely use it quite a bit as I am a heavy user of cruise control (and would probably not have a bike without it). That said, if the bike did not come with adaptive CC (but does come with regular CC) I would still take the bike and would not pay extra for the adaptive part.
