Turn off switch for ABS in 2013 model possible?

This might be an odd question to most, but I thought I would give it a try anyways: does anybody know (or has tried) to install a switch that can turn the ABS off when not wanted (like in off road conditions)? I had a scary encounter with ABS off road. I know this bike is my an off road bike, but it...

Side Stand recall for 2013 r1200r

Did anybody hear from BMW yet? wonder how many 2013 bikes are affected.. now I have another reason to go the dealer (besides just wanting to drool over bikes) and have them make sure mine is or is not on the recall list. Here is the summary for the recall: SUMMARY: BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is...

Re: I'm selling my 07' R1200R.

Bike looks like a lot of fun... can't wait to hear your report about your first longer trip with it! And I really like Nancy's bike too ;) ... glad she gets to play with the R1200R now... how does she like it so far? Has she had a chance to ride the 9T yet?

Test ride video from Germany

Guy said he loved riding it and that it didn't feel like the r1200r (as he expected) but has a totally different feel riding it. Also says the only thing he wished they would have done differently (besides instrument cluster) was that it had the sport ABS brakes like the 1000rr. Apparently he had a ...

Trip Odometer issue fixed

BMW USA finally got the software update that fixes the issue with the trip odometer. I just had the new software uploaded this past weekend, and finally my trip odometers work now. (when engaging the alarm system they would go back to zero, and sometimes even without me engaging the alarm system). A...

Re: I'm selling my 07' R1200R.

I am glad the R will stay in the family :) and if my R wasn't so new (or the 9T had already been out when I was looking for a bike) I would have a very hard time resisting the 9T!! I have been in love with it since I saw the first 'real' pictures of it. My dealer told me they will get one the end of...
