2022 R1250RT - ACC Later?
Posted: Tue Feb 08, 2022 8:27 pm
Hi all,
Last year I bought a brand new 2021 R1250RT. Made it to just about 5k miles then totaled it coming around a blind corner and hitting a deer in the road. I'm fine - my gear did the job, but as I said, the bike was totaled. Geico took great care of me - gave me what I paid out the door with the bike (less taxes).
So here we are, 2022, and I'm looking to replace the bike. I spoke with my dealer and they said none of the 2022 RTs have the Adaptive Cruise Control due to the chip shortage. He said BMW believes the bike can later be retrofitted with the feature.
Does anyone think that's realistic, or are they just being salesman? My 2021 had the feature and on the long rides I did on the highway (not that many, fortunately) it was amazing. Worked beautifully.
Thanks.
