Nothing against ESA, and in fact I've never ridden an ESA equipped bike. I just enjoy tuning my suspension manually to get it exactly how I like it. Being confined to suspension modes, all of which may be a comprimise doesn't sound ideal to me, but perhaps this is not entirely the case? Anyways, I like the simplicity of manual adjusters. I would rather not pay extra for ESA and then put that money towards aftermarket non-ESA suspension which would likely perform better. That said I would absolutely pick up an ESA bike if the price was right. Seems like it's hard to find one without ESA, although I did locate one not too far from me.

That would make it MY16, as the round connector isn’t EU4 compliant. But BMW’s press documentation is clear that ABS Pro was introduced with MY17. How can you be certain you have the Pro version, r0ckrat?

I have a 2013 R1200R 90th edition. It has 14000 miles. Looks near new. All the bags, lot's of extras. I'd be willing to part with it...go down to one bike.
Where are you located?
**Nevermind, I see now you are located in Eagle Point. OR. Send me a message here, or to [email protected] with some more information about the bike and we can go from there.

Looks like I was wrong, almost every model except the 1200 R and RS got ABS Pro that year.
