General topics » New 1250 Rs model incoming

Just checking the BMW motoradd site to see if BMW are planning any 1250RS updates - and more exciting colour schemes and - yes - big changes are planned - took this screenshot Screenshot 2022-03-25 at 22.37.56.png - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Not inspiring confidence...they used a photo of a GS and not a RS.

There's a new (better) shade of Austin Yellow.........Screenshot 2022-03-26 073943.png - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

It seems like the website has often been plagued by weirdness. For the longest time, at least in the US, package selection was messed up. New kid in marketing at HQ?

It appears the website has conflicting pictures. The original picture doesn't match up with the rest.

Exactly - hence thre post

I just visited my (sort of, 60 miles away) local dealer during their poorly-attended "customer appreciation day". Not an RS in sight, just one lonely R1250R and a bunch of unsold R18 models. The sales manager told me that both BMW and KTM have notified him that they will be raising their prices with the next batch of bikes. He gave me an example for the KTM 390 Duke, which currently has a transportation and set-up charge of over $1,000 USD and that will be increasing later this year. Attached are a couple of photos of the showroom that I took today.

Is this in response to current gas prices? Do they feel they need to tack this on due to shipping fuel is more expensive to get here to the US?

Or just another greedy move by a corporation? Possibly both.

Thankful I am not getting rid of my '16 anytime soon.

Good video. I know some people get annoyed by him, but personally, I like him.
