Engine Temp

Like you, I was hoping to have it in easy reach.

For me a warning light as an adjunct to the actual engine temperature stored somewhere else is perfectly fine. I rather have the ambient temperature on my default display, and if there was an equal choice of either one or the other (as is the case with the non-TFT RSs like mine) I choose the ambient. Same with the Tracer.

Yes, I know I can "feel" the ambient temperature but need a sensor to tell me the engine temperature, but the engine temperature changes as you ride and I prefer to keep my eyes on the road for the idiot changing lanes without warning, than reading the dash no matter how beautiful or informative. I would want the bike to tell me via a warning, though, if the engine temperature is consistently in the dangerous zone so that I can perhaps pull over for a while.

To each his own, but in this case I understand BMW's logic.  Smile
