Even if I would never buy them you did an absolutely amazing job with this perfect step-by-step guide and pretty much a full infomercial for them. If I were to make a product for motorcycles or anything accessory wise you would definitely be the person I would want to partner with and pay for a shoutout and infomercial. Excellent job ib
Definitely not something you NEED, but a cool advancement in technology nonetheless. I think for me personally, I'd rather stick to just looking at the dash instead of using smart glasses. However, if I get the chance to try them, I'd definitely give them a shot.
Any manufacturer for Helmets need to integrate this technology into their Helmet Visors. Wearing glasses under a helmet can be extremely uncomfortable for most riders. II would definitely purchase this technology if it was integrated into a helmet visor.
Very nice with a well thought out design and case. Could you see if BMW could provide a video that shows you what the display looks like while riding? Also, as others have mentioned, it would be nice to have indicators for approaching objects in the road or vehicles approaching you from your blindspots. Link to the bike and a rear camera? 650!!!!😎
It’s cool but better if its able to pick up dangerous objects and debris in road to keep you safe using bluetooth with cameras. Im sure that will happen soon as some electric bikes have that type of feature . I had it in my m4 and loved it didn’t distract me as i used it as a convenience. Good review 👍🏼
If you know your bike well enough - what you should totally do - you will know your speed by the sound of your bike without looking at the speedo. And if anyone starts to come with the excuses - "you might not riding enough you couldn't get to know that well" or "it's not obvious because you wear hearing protection" - well, you would be reckless to ride your bike at higher speeds, and the last thing you would need is an extra distraction.
Hey IB! Just a quest, why doesnt u do anything about the bad mic/sounding problem when speaking while driving. It sounds really terrible all the time. Is there a reason for you to not adjust or buy a new mic etc to fix the prob?
Hi there. I've invested in the best mic setup. I'm usually riding fast and there will be wind noise. It might improve when I get my new AlpineStars helmet soon. Fingers crossed.
PRETTY COOL GLASSES. FOR $750 BMW SHOULD HAVE MADE THOSE LENSES TRANSITIONAL TINT LIKE YOU WOULD HAVE ON REGULAR EYEGLASSES FOR THOSE SUNNY DAYS IN FILTHY CLEVELAND. GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS 650IB.
Silly question but, do I need to own bmw motorcycle to use this glasses. I have africa twin and really i’d like to use this glasses. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Good initial review. You mentioned that the HUD glasses moved a lot when you were going fast on the track. I was wondering how much they move when riding on roads that are not very smooth? Can it make it difficult to focus on the image?
Unfortunately, I wear trifocals so that might be a problem even though I understand you can get prescription settings with the lenses; that is a big risk for $750 plus the optometrist $$$ just to see IF they work. Sigh.
Question…. If I already have a mobile device connected to my Schuberth C5 helmet, which mobile device on the TFT screen would you use to connect the glasses. My iPhone is connected to my TFT My helmet is also connected to my TFT BMW 2021 1250RT Thank you 🙏
Understood…. I’m purchasing a pair shortly. My dealer has a pair set aside. I tried them on yesterday. I also sent your video to several the dealer employees. You’re the first person who’s taken the time for this new item. Looking forward. BMW 1250RT BMW CE 04 I’m hoping the last app update gets fixed, as the legal posted speed limit is now in KM. BMW is aware of this issue and said will update when ready. Carlsbad Ca
Help 😊I went out this morning New Year’s Day. The glasses connected no problem. However, once I put the glasses on with my Schuberth C5 helmet, the data completely disappears. If I take my helmet off, it all comes back again. Is the Schuberth blocking my Bluetooth connection?
With THAT GREAT PHONE COME GREAT PHOTOS . ONE MORE QUESTION Mr 650ib WUD U CONSIDER GETTING AN H2R ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION BUTCHER IT AS IT STILL HOLDS THE TITLE FOR THE FASTEST MOTORCYCLE ON THE PLANET.?? AN FOR A ZX10R IS IT OK TO PUT TURBOCHARGER ON IT??
Very nice. Maybe the next versions might come with blind-spot cameras and/or night vision? 😁 That would be cool (better than flashing led/rgb mirrors). I feel like if Mercedes made motorcycles both of these would be available already👀 Just playing @BMWMotorrad😂
Just another digital electronic DISTRACTION...as if there isn't enough already while you're supposed to be concentrating on road and traffic conditions. IMHO . . . ridiculous waste of money.
Probably the most dangerous motorcycle accessory made... I couldn't think of anything more distracting than these glasses. Imagine adding music to these glasses… A recipe for disaster
These things are not amazing and imo dangerous. Completely useless for anyone that doesn't have 20/20 vision. I don't see this working well with px lenses.
Please help! I have them and they are great! HOWEVER, I just bought bmw connectedride navigator and can't seem to pair them. Any help? Thanks in advance
I am not convinced. The connected ride Navigator is a worthless device, and these glasses are not very handy if you have the dark glasses on and you enter a tunnel. Apart from that it will be tiresome on your eÿes in the long run. BMW is strong in creating solutions for non existing problems.
Just what every rider needs, something to look at between our eyes and the asphalt screaming bye just inches away 😢 I have HUD in my Audi it totally distracts my focus and obscures my vision I turn it off
Open your eyes… hud blocking your view is insane who just stares at the speedo ?? It doesn’t distract it just sits in your peripheral you can see the road and it at all times
No thanks to even more distractions while riding. $750 retail and going for $1k in the resale market and they will be $150 in 2 years when BWM abandons the platform and support. Plus,,,you know you are going to lose them or break them.
