It did. It’s bonkers quick too. The 1250 engine is just incredible. Down side is are there are no used uns available as it’s just out. And I wouldn’t want anything else than the naked version.
Now I have to figure out BMW options.
Oh quick shifters? I have no idea why anybody would want one. I found when you used it on full pelt, if you want a truly smooth change you need to back the throttle off just a tad – so what’s the point? But if you roll, or snap it off and back on like an ordinary bike it confuses the foc out of the thing.
The one extra that puzzles me is Dynamic ESA which is electronic suspension. The bike I rode had it. The fella was showing me all the options, the different ways it could be set up and asking me how I wanted it set up. So we ended up on auto mode whatever that is.
I’m inclined to think it’s bollocks like a quick shifter – just a gimmick. Or is it? Was that bike so good because of it’s ESA, or would I not be able to tell the difference?
Oh dear. BMW options lists. :\
