Sport button?

[*ALZ*]

Hi I'm newish to the forum, how useful do you find the sport button? I'll hold back my comments until I've had a few back.

Always use it. Prefer the steering.

Always use it, much prefer the throttle response

 

[Swiftly]

I personaaly don't use it when around the city as I find the response to harsh for my liking. However once I clear the city and hit the country roads then it is alsways switched on

Same here guys, the weightier steering and throttle response is great, perfect for getting away from the lights too once you master it!

 

[Zero4]

Always on here. Better steering feel and response.

What model do you have, Auto, Manual, ///, etc....

All these things can make a difference.

 

[MrPT]

Always on. Better steering weight and easier to do throttle blips with it on.

I would not buy one without the sport button, may seem like a gimmick to some, but its so worth it.

Sport on in the dry and off in the wet !

Agreed, its not as essential for manual if your a good driver.

but the automatic one has low torque w/o steptronic or sport mode.

Nope not racing, sometimes it's good just to get a good get away! If I want to go fast i'll use my Hayabusa.

I have the M, I believe it just adjusts throttle mapping. I hate it with a passion. The throttle is already too sensitive.

That said on my old 6 series I liked the weight of the steering in sport.

I like a TVR throttle travel - ie full throttle only with the pedal welded to the floor.

 

[Adamski]

If I want to blip the throttle on downshifts, and it's a dry road for hooning, it's on.

Any other time, it's off. Throttle just too sensitive....

in the snow? - I suspect not even in the rain :wink:

I have a friend with a Ducati [he bought from the "owners estate! ] Did a weather check before taking her out - can't blame him
