New Member Introductions » Hello from Wakefield, UK

Hi guys,
I have just purchased a BMW R1250rs from Allan Jeffries, South Yorkshire. The exclusive model and not picking it up till March next year when it will be registered with next years number plate and a 2020 year.
Initial thoughts for modifications are: screen to low..tour Europe and Garmisch
BMW motorrad connectivity, will the scroll wheel still access the tomtom rider menu?
Previous bike was the R1200R, I also have a pristine R90S

Dont think the scroll wheel will operate the TomTOM - you need BMW - what's another £600 ??? Do it - the wheel is where the magic happens

Thanks Andy, my first reply as an r1250rs owner. Navigator 6, or will 5 do?

Hi Adrian

Welcome and hope you enjoy the 1250 when you get it in March just in time for 25% sunshine!!!!

Much depends on your height and there is loads on here about screens, I am 6' 3 and went for the MRA x creen, and fitted bar risers whilst I went for the sport seat. I have the Nav 6 which works well with the wheel. Not used the connectivity with the TFT screen yet. some people having issues with it but I continue to link my bluetooth, music phone etc directly to sat nav. Standard things like huggers are recommended.

hi Adrian, welcome to the forum, maybe we can get together when you get your bike. I live near junction 27 on the m62,
if you don't mind being seen with a lowly r1200rs se,but it is LUPIN BLUE.
best wishes Neil

That would be great Neil, traded in my r1200r for this model and really looking forward to next year. Is it true you can lift the screen on the extra holes provided?
Adrian

Hi Adrian

the screen will move up and down on and you can fix to either the lower or higher set of "holes"

Graham

Thanks Graham
