After 14 years and 150K on K bikes wanted something smaller and lighter so I�m a new owner of a 2021 RS. Hope my old bones can get used to the more sporting riding position!

Welcome to the site.
My wife and I had 28 years on K bikes. 280,000 K bike miles for me and 265,000 for Debbie before trading for a couple R1200RSs.
We have been happy with the R1200RS.
Both of us had a K75T, K75S, K1200RS and K1300S.

If the riding position is too aggressive, it's easy to modify it by bar risers/bar backs, lower pegs, different bars or seat. It is worth it to make the bike fit! I have tweaked mine and it's amazing. Welcome to the board!
PS: wish I was as close to Gateway BMW as you are...great guys

I must be blind...I just started a thread 'hello from STL'. I....didn't even see this one. Apologies for that.
We'll have to go for a ride sometime- I don't have a Beemer at the moment, but I have a couple of Guzzi's that I enjoy.
Cheers,
J
