I picked up my new bike on Sunday. I traded in a 2018 R.
The RS is fantastic! I was worried about the turning radius as compared to the R, but a few practice U-turns settled my nerves about that.
I moved the windscreen to the high position, and it is good both up and down.
Mine came with everything, including the heated seats (high seat). Love it! I put the panniers from the old bike, and will install the MaMo light bars, cansmart, and helmet lock later today (after a ride to the beach).
The picture is from Shibuya in central Tokyo with the last of the cherry blossoms. You can see the flower petals on the front tire.

Sure. It's this one. Not high security by any means, but this is Japan.

I'd love to do a tour of Japan.

There's a Korean guy on Youtube that has great videos of touring through his country on an RS. I dont' know how similar it would be, but I'm envious.
