Greetings everyone,
I'm in the process of trading up from a 2018 R1200R to a brand-new 2023 RS. BMW Japan is doing a 1% for 3 years financing deal, so I took the plunge. I think I got the first black one in the Tokyo area. Will take delivery sometime before mid-April.
This is my first ever new bike the 1200R was 2 years old when I got it. I'm really looking forward to the RS and the new shift cam engine. The forum for the old bike was super helpful. I hope this community is similarly so. Thanks in advance for your help everyone.

Black. The best color.

Let us know how the two compare. I have a 2018 RS but didn�t think the improvements of the newer model justified the work of trading up�especially after all the work I did customizing the bike.

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to getting on the thing. It's at another dealer, so I haven't seen it yet. I've just seen the red, white, and blue ones at two different dealers. That color is beautiful as well, but a bit flashy for me.
For the Japanese market, all of them are fully loaded, every package. So, it's really only a choice of color.
