Have had a pro for over 2 years. Steep hills kill performance. After patching a few tubes I bought and installed some solid tires and it's been great ever since. For the money I paid it's been a terrific ride.

so far all the issues mentioned appear to be apples issues and not bimmer tech's as bimmer tech is mearly running apples carplay or android auto, and the screen mirror issue is simple because it is a screen mirror so what ever is happening on your phone is what you will see on the screen of your BMW.
@stanstevenson15034 ай бұрын
Markus my iPhone 11 charges fine , however I think the wireless charging technology changed after the 11 From Qi to Mag Safe and I don’t think our arts support Mag Safe , if someone more tech competent than me then please let me know but this is my understanding why it doesn’t work on models later than 11 … which is a bugger if you want to upgrade your phone. Next option is to use cable from USB port inside compartment but need to get one with a 90degree bend to fit well and the phone has to be smaller Like a iPhone 15

Amen! I realized this in the first ride and just hardwired. I use a wunderlich phone mount because the bmw app is overbearing if you’re using a mesh headset and overall useless. Why not just equip the bike with Apple car play and the android equivalent. Heck I’ll pay $200 for the upgrade. A major technology fail on an otherwise beautiful riding machine.

I have the same problem and have been hoping for 2 years that there is a solution. First the LED appears green and then it flashes yellow and no longer charges. Tested with iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro. My BMW dealer thinks it is a licence problem between BMW and Apple. The reason is Apple's MagSafe, which is why older devices work. This is incomprehensible to me as the iPhone can also be charged with cheap charging cradles without any problems. I find it cheeky of BMW to sell a motorbike with additional options and conceal the fact that it doesn't work with new iPhones! If I find a solution, I'll post it in the comments.

This is a paid advertisement. don't trust !!! This scooter has many quality, warranty and customer service problems. The fact that it is not sold on Amazon is more than indicative of all the problems. I bought one more than a year ago and more than 90% of the time it has had all kinds of problems, it hasn't turned on for 5 months and I'm still waiting for a serious response from this company.

Greets from.AUS. Fantastic bike,you lucky bugger 😁👍 Got an '02 R1150RT that Ive had for about 9 years. I do still like it but Im looking to finally upgrade at some point,probs not for a few years though actually. So by then itll be the 1300RT I guess 😊. But yeah,I do like the 1250. I dont mind the display but I wish it was a little intergrated better,I mean it really does look like a smart phone/tablet stuck on the front. I do dials like the 1200RT had and Im not against the all digi display but yeah,as I said,wish it was intergrated a little better,or finished/fitted in better,you know what I mean Im sure. But what do you think?
@daveyator10 ай бұрын
If I had it to do over again I'd get a '21 RT. You get the shift cam engine but the old set up which frankly works better than the new tech. As much as I love this bike, I'm completely disappointed with the phone based navigation, the useless radio antenna, and that the nifty wireless charge pad that won't charge iPhones.
@fonzitheman10 ай бұрын
@@daveyator Thanks for the reply Yeah, Ive read a few comments on its gps, and the radar speed detection thing. Not all working as it should. Sometimes BMW like to add/try these new things but end up dropping them later. Like the servo assist brakes on my 1150 which they dropped later a few models into the 1200 I believe. So 2021 was the last model that didnt have that set up? Just asking as if I end up going used Id get a 2021 (or 2022?) But again, by the time Id get one maybe the new one (1300RT?) would have fixed/changed that again.
@beaulunawolf119810 ай бұрын
Love the bike. I recently purchased the top case, and I did end up getting the primer version to have it painted to match my bike. My question is for the back rest I see you have to drill the two holes in the painted panel to hold it on. Is this literally all that holds it on? I can't imagine you would drill into the box itself, but I wanted to be sure.
