can anybody explain to me what the difference is between the r1250rs and the r1250rs sport?

Jim, hi and welcome to the forum. There are 3 models. RS, RS Sport and RS Exclusive. They all have different trim packages, accessories etc. But essentially they are different colours as you can spec the different models up so you have the bits you want.

So a fully spec’ed RS will have a load of ‘extras’ where as a fully spec’ed Exclusive will have fewer ‘extras’ as they are already on that model.

You could argue that the Sport has standard packages that are more Sport orientated and the Exclusive has the racks and extras that are more Touring orientated but most buyer tick all the options and choose the model based on the colour.

I hope that helps. The Engines and performance are essentially the same. Whichever you go for it’s a fantastic machine. (This is my 3rd!)

I’m sure someone far more knowledgable will be along in a moment with a much better rationale.

Jim,

Which country are you in?

In the US the 2022 Sport is White.
Center tank cover is metal.
Engine spoilers are metal.
Gloss black wheels
Gold brake calipers

At least in the US, the only difference, is the color of the plastic, the center on the tank is metal and you get the stainless belly pan or whatever it's called.

The functional options (like quickshifter, ESA, center stand, etc) all come with the Select package and that can be applied to any of the color choices.
