Difference between Sport and Sport Pro

[HongKongPhooey]

Hi all,

Back again, looking at a 2015 Sport, but it doesn't have the performance package, or Pro what ever they're calling it.

Anyone on here have a 2015 without the extra goodies? What's the thinking on the extra kit? Worth it for the road?

Cheers.

It's crazy good, I use the cruise control all the time..

Haha, yeah I had one of the WC GS's last year and couldn't believe how often I used it.

I'm using cruise control more than I thought I would, brilliant feature. Mine has everything bar the forged wheels. I'm guessing long term, when it comes to resale, the full spec'd ones will be more desirable to the second hand buyer, typical BMW marketing really!

These are the two models they list and feature differences between normal and sport.

My reasoning is if you're going to spend 15 grand on a bike, why wouldn't you spend an additional ?490 on the performance package? Of course you don't need it for the road, but it does gives you the option to set your bike up exactly as you want it, have cruise control which I've found surprisingly useful plus it'll boost the resale appeal of your bike.

Yep, totally agree, but it's not new, only done 400 miles, so not my choice to spec from new. Maybe can be upgraded, but it's reflected in the price, so I'm cool with it.

I bought mine with the fooking lot complete with cast wheels. A lot of cash mind, but hey one life and all that...

Riding mode pro means you can set everything as you want it. Not had a play yet but won't be long. Cruise is superb especially with the bar vibration!
dtc is also better than the active stability control. Had mine to the max in the wet, asc would have left me on the floor although I would not have been so enthusiastic in the wet without the dtc

Played a fair bit in user mode, great bit of kit.......

Hmmmm, sounds like it's worth a retro upgrade if it's possible! Cheers for the feedback.

 

[Marzy]

can't remember where I read it, but I believe some of the upgrades can't be retro fitted.

Ah well, I'll just have to pine for what I could have had�� bikes better then me in rain mode anyhow.
