Driving Modes Pro now includes Core Screen Sport?
Last year the R had a Sport Screen option the RS did not.
It would seem that BMW Motorrad could give current R1250RS owners the Sport Screen with a simple TFT screen software update... ?
Yes they can. I bought a 2019 R1250RS a couple of weeks ago and asked the dealer to give me the latest TFT update (because I had heard that can fix problems with Bluetooth pairing), so my TFT includes the Sport screen, although I haven’t really played with it. My bike is the European “Exclusive” edition which means riding modes pro is included.
On a separate note, a few options that I found interesting that are *not* in this list but are in the 2021 GS update:
1. Heated seat (with 5 levels of rider seat and handlebar heat. You set it up via the TFT and then the handlebar button turns on and off). 2 levels of pillion seat heat switchable via a physical switch next to the pillion seat (so they can adjust themselves)
2. ECO riding mode for improved fuel economy, longer range and what have you
3. Riding mode list selection (the tft has a set of check boxes for which riding modes you want to switch between like you have for the top line info items now. So if you don’t use dynamic pro or eco for example they wouldn’t clutter up the selection. More of a big deal for the GS because it now has 7 modes if you have riding modes pro)
...it would be nice if these become options on the RS.
