bmw r1250rs tft display brands

R1250RS, BMW R1250RS, BMW R1250RS TFT display Anti theft brace, BMW R1250RS TFT screen anti theft brace, TFT screen locking brace, TFT screen locking frame, high grade 304 stainless steel construction. Designed and produced in the UK by craftsmen. Very robust, durable extremely high quality engineered product.

Regretfully the TFT display, which is standard equipment on all models of the BMW R1250RS, is only held in place by three circlips and a wiring plug, believe it or not! These units can be so easily removed by hand with minimal force and stolen in mere seconds, with a per unit replacement cost of around £1,200, often plus the additional cost of up to around £3000 to have the wiring loom replaced if this is also damaged beyond further use during the theft of the unit!

The idea of this product is to simply deter opportunist thieves from snatching your TFT display unit, and it works by physically preventing the unit from being removed outwards from the dash. Even if the three circlips are removed the unit cannot physically be removed. The brace utilizes two strong mounting points and is easy to fit but near impossible to remove without tools - which is the whole idea! It comes with a comprehensive installation leaflet and full fitting kit, and there is also now various installation videos on YouTube.

This is an extremely good value for money, and equally high quality product, powder coated satin black as standard so it looks very much at home on the bike and blends in like it is original equipment, and it could save you thousands of pounds in repairs and replacement display! There is a choice between the standard brace, or an integrated sun visor at extra cost.

For more than 40 years, the abbreviation “RS” has stood for sports touring par excellence in conjunction with the BMW boxer engine. The R 1250 RS is now even more innovative and sophisticated and delivers the ultimate sporty, dynamic touring experience.

As before, the legendary 2-cylinder boxer engine provides powerful propulsion. It still has an engine capacity of 1,254 cm3 and, even in the current EU5 registration, generates 100 kW (136 hp). Thanks to BMW ShiftCam technology for varying valve timing and valve lift on the intake side, it delivers beefy power across the entire speed range, extremely smooth and quiet running and outstanding fuel consumption and emission values.

The ECO riding mode allows the rider to use the innovative BMW Motorrad ShiftCam engine technology primarily in such a way to achieve the maximum range. In ECO mode, the rider is encouraged to ride as fuel-efficiently as possible with a soft throttle curve and moderate engine torque limitation. In ECO mode, the TFT colour display provides an efficiency display in the upper status line. If you want maximum performance – for example for overtaking with a heavy load or riding uphill – the ride mode button can be used to quickly and easily switch to a different ride mode.

As a popular sports tourer, the R 1250 RS in its latest edition features BMW Integral ABS Pro as standard. This is a braking system, which offers even more safety when braking – even when leaning into bends – and thinks even further ahead, so to speak. As the riding mode concept continues to expand, more new functions will also be added. For example, the ABS control characteristic will be adapted further to the respective riding mode. As part of the “Riding Modes Pro” option, Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) additionally supports the rider during emergency braking manoeuvres. DBC increases safety when braking, even in difficult situations, by avoiding unintentional throttle activation. By means of intervention in the engine control, drive torque is reduced during braking so as to make full use of the braking power at the rear wheel. This keeps the motorcycle stable and shortens the braking distance.

As before, the new R 1250 RS equipped with a TFT colour display featuring integrated arrow navigation and extensive connectivity. Excellent readability, clear menu navigation and a highly integrated operating concept place it at the top of the production motorbike world. The rider can choose between customised screen displays for various purposes. This also includes the “Sport” Core Screen, which provides real-time information about the current and maximum lean angle as well as control interventions – such as ABS Pro or DTC. New standard features include redesigned LED tun indicators (also for the USA) and the iconic daytime running light (not permitted in all countries; without daytime running light function, the light icon is designed as a parking light).

The new BMW R 1250 RS offers two different sockets as standard. The previous 12-volt on-board power socket plus an additional USB-A socket with a 5-volt power supply. This most widely used type of USB socket with newly developed charging electronics allows you to charge a smartphone while riding by connecting a cable adapter. Up to 2,400 mA charging current is available, enabling fast charging depending on the type of smartphone used. The Intelligent Emergency Call is also a standard feature (eCall; not available in all countries) for providing rapid assistance in emergencies.

Tube handlebars are now available as a new optional extra ex works and also as an original BMW Motorrad accessory. The tube handlebars are slightly wider and higher than the standard handlebar stubs and also less swept. This means that in addition to the various rider seats available as optional equipment or original BMW Motorrad accessories, the handlebar ergonomics of the R 1250 RS can now also be individually adapted to achieve an even more relaxed and upright seating position.

In the basic variant, the new BMW R 1250 RS highlights its advanced sport touring qualities in Icegrey non-metallic in conjunction with a black frame. With the Triple Black Sport Model available optionally ex works, the customer can choose from two particularly expressive colour concepts.

Sport touring aboard a purpose-built European bike shows just how refined going fast in comfort can actually be. Coming into the 2022 model year BMW left well enough alone and made no significant changes to the R 1250 RS. Alright one change, they made it easier to purchase by slimming down the available packages. It is quite simple, add items to the standard model, or just add the Premium package that likely already contains exactly what you really want.

With 136 hp the BMW R 1250 RS is right with the competition, but the 105 lb-ft of torque will keep you grinning. Delivered with silky smoothness, this is a bike that propels you ahead from anywhere in the rpm band with ease.

BMW ShiftCam is the name of the innovative technology that lets you accelerate faster from any speed. This is achieved by means of a variable camshaft control system. The increase to 136 hp gives you more power and, with the capacity expansion to 1254 cc, the possibility to make another sprint in the fast lane. The increase in torque (max 105 lb-ft) is noticeable in every rpm range, delivering the typical boxer punch an pure riding pleasure.

The BMW R 1250 RS brings sports performance to the touring section of the 2021 BMW line-up. This celebrated European-made motorcycle features the power and performance of a BMW sports bike, but with the practicalities and comforts of a modern sports tourer. But if you take a look at the specs, it’s definitely more “sports” than “tourer.”

While the engine doesn’t scream like BMW’s inline-four sports performance motorcycles, the R 1250 RS’s 1,254 cc flat-twin produces plenty of grunt. The engine makes 136 horsepower and 136 horsepower and 104 lb-ft and can shift the R 1250 RS to speeds of over 125 mph. The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox, with a shaft drive.

Standard features for this sports tourer include BMW Motorrad Integral ABS, ASC automatic stability control, two riding modes (Rain, Road) HSC hill start control, a full LED headlight, and a TFT-display. The TFT-display can be linked to your smartphone using Bluetooth and can be used for navigation and other media.

You now have even more options to make your BMW R 1250 RS your own bike: With the design-defining Option 719 Billet Packs Classic, Storm and Shadow, all three are very exclusive and high-quality factory-fitted customisation options. With the two-colour Option 719 wheels, you can make your R 1250 RS even more exclusive. The sports silencer also makes a statement on performance.

Modern adventure bikes offer relaxed ergonomics and increasingly capable on-road performance while promising off-road potential. Nonetheless, relatively few owners are taking their expensive, heavy adventure bikes into the boondocks and there remains a solid case for melding large capacity engines with manageable curb weight and sporty yet comfortable control positions. The BMW R 1250 RS does just that. And does it well.

Central to the RS’ appeal is BMW’s semi-liquid-cooled, opposed-twin 1254cc engine introduced in the US in 2019 to replace the last air-cooled boxers. The same powertrain drives the acclaimed R 1250 GS adventure bikes, the R 1250 RT tourer, and R 1250 R naked roadster. You could argue the RS is hard to justify in an already extensive lineup, but there are very few motorcycles like it. And while some can never bring themselves to accept BMW’s distinctive cylinder head arrangement, rudely protruding from the engine casing, it is the epitome of German practicality. It may not be sleek, but the positioning of the cylinders maximizes air cooling and therefore requires less liquid-cooling to provide competitive peak power. The boxer configuration also keeps engine mass low down for improved handling and balance, and although the RS" 60-inch wheelbase softens its sports credentials, it is still a bike to take on twisty mountain roads with confidence, with or without a passenger and luggage.

The R 1250 RS uses a tubular steel frame and bolt-on subframe, using the engine as a stressed member to help reduce weight. A cast aluminum single-sided swingarm combines BMW’s Paralever shaft drive and suspension, which benefits from continuously variable, hydraulic preload and spring adjustment via a strut-mounted hand-wheel and adjustable rebound damping. Our test bike came in the Imperial Blue Metallic paint scheme, part of the Exclusive Style option, which includes gold anodized brake calipers, a stainless-steel tank cover, and matching gray matte frame and cylinder head covers. The 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels, also finished in gray matte, come shod in Metzler Roadtec Z8s, which boast solid cornering credentials and all-weather security. Brembo four-piston radial calipers and dual 320mm discs provide assured stopping power and work with a dual-piston single 276mm disc at the rear.

When BMW updated the boxer engine, they included variable valve technology, using different cams for low and high rev ranges in a similar way to Honda’s VTEC auto engine. BMW’s ShiftCam seamlessly shuffles two sets of inlet cams, one set for low-rev efficiency, the other for maximum performance. The intake valves open slightly out of sync resulting in a vortex that efficiently blends fuel and air to maximize combustion, which also improves efficiency in the lower rev ranges and power when you give it the beans. I first tested this engine riding the R 1250 GS on a 2,000-mile on- and off-road tour of Colorado. It is spectacular. The 1254cc flat-twin puts out plenty of top-end power, supplemented by masses of torque and impeccable manners at lower revs, topped off with a fantastically burbly exhaust note. The RS’ peak horsepower of 136 comes at 7,750 RPM, and the maximum torque, reached at 6,250 RPM, is a mighty 105 lb-ft. That’s more torque than KTM’s Super Duke GT or Kawasaki’s supercharged H2 SX.

The R 1250 RS has BMW’s excellent 6.5-inch TFT color display, and the Multi-Controller wheel on the left bar manages the various menus. Our test model features Rider Modes Pro, which adds Dynamic Pro and Dynamic to the standard Road and Rain modes, and Dynamic Traction Control and ABS Pro, which work in conjunction with an IMU sensor monitoring lean angle, wheel speed, and other data to calculate intervention levels. Our tester was missing the excellent active-electronic suspension (ESA System) we had on the F 900 XR we recently tested, and usually associated with the Dynamic Rider Modes. I suspect it may have fallen victim to the supply chain issues affecting many manufacturers. Nonetheless, we did have the quick-shifter (although, on the RS, I never felt the need to use it), the GPS mount, cruise control, a tire pressure monitor, and keyless ignition. All around LED lights worked very well in the dark when we finished our longest test ride, and the only issue was a slight vibration in the twist grip, which, after three hours in the saddle, made my hand numb.

The base model BMW R 1250 RS comes in their familiar Black Storm Metallic and has an MSRP of $15,695. Two style options include Sport ($525), finished in Light White with a contrasting red frame, and combines a stainless steel engine spoiler and tank cover. Our test bike includes the Exclusive ($425) package and Imperial Blue Metallic paint scheme, with gray matte contrast details, gold calipers and tank cover. The RS we tested, with additional options, has an MSRP of $18,795. Adding the ESA suspension brings the total to $19,045; if you add any options, this is the one to have.

The R 1250 RS deserves a place in the BMW lineup and, for that matter, many garages. No, it"s not the fastest, lightest, or most nimble. Nevertheless, it"s plenty quick, a careless joy to ride, and the endless torque makes it a perfect machine for touring at pace rather than racing with bags. The RS is a stead-fast, zero-drama bike with a solid reliability record and an all but zero maintenance drivetrain and, although I would never take it to the track, I’d take it just about anywhere else.

BMW’s RS model has been with us for more than 40 years, shaping the brand’s sport-touring heritage. It provides a comfortable mount that performs with equal aplomb as a distance-touring bike and sporting machine.

For 2023, BMW is releasing a slew of updates for the R 1250 RS. Powered by the stalwart Boxer twin, the 1254cc air/liquid-cooled platform is now emboldened with Shiftcam technology.

Meanwhile the new Eco mode engine mapping—joining the standard Rain and Road modes—provides enhanced fuel economy and lower emissions through a softer throttle mapping that limits engine torque. The Eco setting can be easily and swiftly shifted over to a different ride modes on the fly with a flick of a switch. In Eco mode, the upper part of the TFT screen displays engine and fuel efficiency.

The display boasts an on-board 12-volt power socket and a new USB-A port with a five-volt power supply, allowing smartphone charging while riding with a cable adapter. The TFT color screen uses arrow navigation with easily-readable visuals while the Sport Core Screen gives real-time information on lean angle and the degree of intervention being exerted by the ABS Pro system and traction control.

The rest of the standard equipment list includes an anti-hop clutch, a steering stabilizer, an adjustable windscreen, hill start, and cast aluminum wheels. BMW also offers a dynamic range of packages to enhance the sport tourer, including the Premium Package, which adds keyless riding, design options for the muffler, chrome-plated exhaust manifold, dynamic engine brake control, gear shift assist, the Pro ride mode, heated grips, a centerstand, cruise control, bag mounts, and tire pressure monitoring.

To customize the RS, BMW offers a range of dynamic aesthetic combinations under their 719 series of optional parts and accessories. These include milled anodized cylinder head covers, front engine cover and oil filler plug in silver, silver-gray, or black, as well as anodized mirrors and expansion tank covers in various colors.
