Some useful updates for 2025, semi active Showa suspension has got to be a must
Quite amazing it’s the best selling sports tourer given the horn is in the wrong placeIt's still got over complicated switch gear, the horn where the indicators go and vice versa and a silly split display screen. It's a no from me, as if anyone cares.
This could have been a brilliant bike, but has been let down by irritating details.
It’s a lot less sport than tour. I did 40 odd thousand km on one. Nothing really wrong with it but not really hitting the spot for me. I can’t really see why you called it a sports tourer. I thought a VFR was one of those. JJHQuite amazing it’s the best selling sports tourer given the horn is in the wrong place

The switchgear makes a lot more sense if you start using Android Auto or Apple Carplay. Allows you to manipulate mapping and music. I've had my ATAS for two and a half years now and I'm used to the buttonsA lot of people easily irritated by the switchgear, I must be more adaptible as Ive traded my White 2023 DCT model for the New 2025 Blue DCT with ES going on the road 1st March 2025......Bring it on!
I was all excited about CarPlay. Over rated and a pain to setup. Much easier is the BMW connected ride. I just used a quad lock with my iPhone 14+.

Even better just ride the bike without interruption.I was all excited about CarPlay. Over rated and a pain to setup. Much easier is the BMW connected ride. I just used a quad lock with my iPhone 14+. JJH
I agree. I rarely used the quad lock mount but very handy for google maps or TomTom JJHEven better just ride the bike without interruption.
Sorry Arsey I’ve just had another look at my post. You didn’t say at the time that you were quoting Bike. JJHYes I seen it. You didn’t quote bike and I thought it was mcn. So I bought it. Now I’ve bought bike. But sports tourer? Well it’s a sit up and beg sport tourer. JJH
