Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #22 Talk about a useless feature. My 2018 has that. It’s called the shift indicator. Turn it on and CANbus will prompt you to upshift at RPMs that optimize gas mileage. If you want to soften throttle response, you can set that up in the USER ride mode.

Perusing the pics on the Motorcycle.com website, I'm underwhelmed by the light-white offering with the black frame. It needs some contrasting color, somewhere. But, if you look closely at all the pics showing the rear end, the AUS/NZ rear fender appears to be installed. Perhaps, sanity will prevail and we'll get an honest rear fender. Old Forum Orphan |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #32 A red frame and wheels would have worked well, IMO.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #32 It will be interesting if they bring back the rear fender. When I used the Build Your Own page the heated seat was a stand alone option. I didn't see the rear luggage rack as a option. I'll look again. Sometimes it take BMW awhile to get the website in order. It's surprising how plain the white bike looks without the red frame, black wheels and gold calipers. Lee |

I’ve tucked my original 2015 banger up for the winter and won’t be visiting any dealers to drool over the 2023 model.
Carpe Diem!

Oh dear, I do like the look of the R,W & B one and with the higher bars being a short arse I could just be tempted. I had a test ride on the Lupin blue one in 2015 and really liked the colour but went down the GS route instead as SWMBO wanted to ride pillion. The latest one will be due its end of warranty check in March along with a service and the FD rubber valve thing recall which could be dangerous for the bank balance as I only ride by myself now and with time to kill waiting for the work to be done as good as it is there's only so much Cotswold coffee I can drink.....

Zitat von Boxerboy55 im Beitrag #35 I'll hold until prices get more favorable. My 2016 is running fine at just over 36,000-miles.

My dealer invited me to plunk down a deposit and order one for spring delivery. I'm not fully convinced I need to spend the $$ yet. The RWB is nice but I'm very partial to my Austin Yellow. He wasn't sure about color choices for the side bags or if a top box and mount/rack were going to be available. I think I'll wait awhile and see what develops.
Happiness comes not from what you have, but from enjoying all that you do have no matter how much or little that may be.

And then I bought a GS but she made me do it honest.....

Zitat von littleade im Beitrag #42 I think the problem might be getting a demo ride on the RS with the optional tubular bars (nearly wrote bells which ages me somewhat). Have you ridden the R version? I guess that might be the closest demo bike to an RS with the optional bars.

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #39 It's up to you. The pannier lids are available in two shades of matte grey, gloss red, gloss white and gloss black.

Zitat von motorhead1977 im Beitrag #41 This morning when I looked at the UK site it showed you can order the bike with the rear rack. It will probably show on the US site also in the next few weeks. It can be purchased later but it's a lot cheaper to order it with the bike.
