Hello all! Just heading down to Vancouver to pick up a new-to-me 2020 R1250RS, an ex-BMW corporate bike. Coming nicely equipped with the Comfort, Touring & Dynamic packages, bags, Navi 6 and anti-theft, all wrapped up in Black Storm Metallic.

This will be my fourth BMW in my 40 yrs of riding. Previous BMW�s were an �82 R100R, an �04 R1100S and an �04 1150 GS Adventure. There have been a myriad of other bikes, basically everything but Harley over all those years.

It will be keeping an �04 ZRX1200R and a �19 WR250R company in the garage.

Anyone else on here do any riding in the south-east corner of BC? I may be biased, but I firmly believe we have the best riding roads in the entire country �. if you haven�t been, you�re missing out!

Welcome to the Forum! It sounds as if you have a wealth of experience of different bikes. I, and probably other members, would be very interested in your comments on the R1250RS. It's a great all-round machine but I'm prejudice!

Jealous of your location and roads. Maybe one day...but my 80th birthday is next month so I've got to get moving quick!

Those Oilhead "S" models were popular in that part of the world.

Hey Sikorsky!

I can most always be tempted to cross northward! Nelson, Nakusp, Slocan?? Whatever!

I am near Coeur d'Alene.

Hi Sikorsky,
Hello from the Lower Mainland
Congrats on the bike, I bought the other ex-BMW Black 2020 R1250RS that they brought in. Couldn't pass up a bargain.
I have put ~3000km on it in 2-1/2 months and I am very happy, no issues.
Cheers

Jimbob �.. next time I�m crossing the border I�ll send a note. Couer d�Alene is only about an hour away. Now that the border is back open I�m looking forward to putting on some miles down there.

Sea2Sky �.. yes, it was a smoking deal. Just couldn�t say no. I was surprised it wasn�t snatched up before I made my mind up.

I was surprised too.
I had ordered a new 2022 RS and it was coming in for the beginning of March same colour and equipment plus the luggage rack, so it was an easy decision.
It has sold already I think, so there are three RS's added to the local population so far this year, with another couple sitting at the dealerships.
