    I once (2003) pondered purchasing a k1200rs. It had a custom paint job and i returned to the dealership several times, just to admire the look. Then, one day in July, they had a special sale. Boom! I got it. I Loved it for as long as i owned it. Though i sold it when we had a new born and neede a second car. I think if i get another, it will be this bike, in triple black.

      @@sunnycloudy1337 I haven't purchased it yet, but instead I have contacted the company that makes it, and connected them the the folks at BlackBoxEmbedded.com. As it stands, this unit could not plug into the BMW GPS prep; you'd have to completely remove the nav prep and mount it on the bracket that it uses. Plus you'd have no wonder wheel input to it. So what I have asked these companies to do is consider working together to build a new product that combines the best of both: Instant plug into the BMW GPS prep, plus wonder wheel input from the handlebar, and CarPlay on the display. They are talking now, and we will see what comes of it. But that's the product that we all really want.

      @chip9712 Not exactly. Many of the units built in 2022 still on showroom floors are missing ESA, Adaptive LED, etc. However, customers can factory-order a build, as did I, and get exactly what they want. The only thing BMW is not putting into the bikes today is heated seats, which I don't care about. Everything else is available if you are willing to factory order. This has been the case since October 2022, when BMW's last GS/A supply chain update was sent to dealers worldwide.

      The key here is that I don't just look at my bike. I actually ride it. Here in the Pacific Northwest, USA, that includes riding in rain, in low temperatures, occasional 600+ mile days, and often in dusty conditions off-road. Leaving the screen off or fitting a smaller screen would make riding it less fun and less comfortable. Not a trade-off that I would make. I leave screen-less to cafe racers or other short-distance bikes.
