1250 v 1200 is it worth it?

[Arsey]

Eliminating the annoying problems doesn't feed the Extended Warranty monster cash-machine... that needs to be fed regularly with paid up god-fearing subscribers...

Fuck everyone else.

Bling, shiney farkles sell

Thicker paint, non-rusting shafts, expedition quality spokes, strong forks, don't sell.... that's the boring (actually important riding stuff) that nobody thinks about until after owning it.

BMW is all about the lifestyle image

Be careful !! The Fuse Tester will be getting all upset about his beloved again !!!

You need a Grom for the winter...............

i have just had a loan of a 1250 for 3 days,is it better ? yes imo,is it worth the money to change from my 2018 no.
Engine to me seemed to pull much harder esp in the upper limits.

I now have a "one in - one out" policy being strictly managed by.... The wife

But then again a Grom would be a fair swap for her?? hmmmm.........

 

[knutk]

I take your points. But wouldn’t BMW be better improving the quality of the parts on the basic bike rather than charge a small fortune for bling ?

Nope...

The problem does not lay with BMW, it's the bloody island you guys live on that is the problem.

In my country, BMW offers 5 years warranty, no extra payments required.

But they charge you £30000 for the privilege

That's because we have a bloody greedy government, the extra money does not go into BMWs pocket

Just placed my order for a GSA with the HP Billet Pack



A bit pricey mind!

Will have to sell my HP4 to fund this.

Very nice.
I couldn’t find any decent pictures of it when they announced that HP pack

Looks like they are putting the Adjustable gilet footrests as part of the pack.

Can you do a pick’n’mix with it?

I just want the cylinder covers and the mirrors.....and maybe the levers....and maybe the engine cover.

Now if they only sold the bike in a colour scheme I want that would work with the HP parts

As I understand it, its a factory fitted order and cannot be retro fitted or so they say! I'm sure you could get hold of a few bits, Not sure if the mirrors look good but the quality is very good.

There is a standard billet pack without the HP stuff on it for the rest of the range.

 

[knutk]

Bargain!

Even if this the price prior to discounts, it's in the ballpark.

I do however not need to be reminded. I already know, thank you very much.

On the other hand, this does not stop people from buying the bike though
And frankly, if you split the price into the amount of hours you have to work in order to pay for it, I suspect we are doing ok...

I kind of presumed it was dealer fit but makes sense they aren’t going to let you walk out with a box of spare parts you could make your money back on

They will have to list parts separately for replacement parts.

I like the mirrors I think.

 

[Sneldog]

Allan Jeffries in Rotherham have got one in the showroom with this HP pack and it looks absolutely fantastic. The mirrors are superb in the flesh.

I want it.

A gnats whisker over £20k I think.

My local dealership said that you were able to order the pieces separately because I'd mentioned that I like the footpegs. I don't know if that's entirely true or not, but it's what I was told.

 

[knutk]

The way I understand it is that there are two ways to order.
- If you order when ordering the bike, the bike comes with the parts already mounted. This is the Billet Pack.
- If you already have a bike and decide what you want some of the parts, you order from the list that is named Option 719.

The 719 number comes from the car division, where extra equipment group was coded 719 in the BMW system.

Interesting to see what the prices are.

The foot pegs look like they are the ones you have been able to order for a while now. I’ve got them and they made a world of difference for my poor old knees

the rocker covers are over 400 quid each

I think you’re totally wrong.

In the UK both packs are the same price and have the same items but are a different finish, the 719 items being a tad more retro.Nothing to do with when you order,as far as I can tell.
