Hello everyone,

New to this forum, picking up a fully loaded triple black 2022 R1250RS on Friday. Traded up my 2020 F900 XR and look forward to my first boxer. I have had 3 BMW bikes, not boxers so this will be a treat.

Look forward to the forum chat!

Welcome to the site.
Both my wife and I traded red K1300Ss like yours for 2016 R1200RSs and were happy.
We now have two 2022 R1250RSs.
I think you'll be happy with the torque and HP of the shiftcam 1250 engine.

Congrats - certainly prefer the little engine deflectors rather than the silver engine spoilers.

Best looking of the new colours!

Thanks, I like it too - I had the choice of the exclusive blue or black, and chose black, just looked so slick - the blue was also nice. I can't wait to put some miles on it!

I traded in my 2020 F900XR towards it - another nice bike, very different and unique, but I missed a larger displacement sports tourer, shaft drive + I've wanted a boxer for awhile since they went wet and the timing seemed good with the 1250 variant with shift cam has been in production for a for a few years.

That looks really sharp in black Arcticlife, and it has all the bells and whistles too. Your going to love it.
