#1 | UK stock locator for new bikes datum

BMW UK now has a stock locator to find if your ideal new bike is already sitting in a showroom. You could do this for used bikes for some time but now added for new stock.
https://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/en/public...=recently-added

You can add your location and set a distance for the search from 10km to nationwide. The price is shown which seems to vary suggesting different specs.

This link was emailed to their subscribers today so the server seems a bit busy right now with some timeouts. Seems the R1300GS is not as popular as they hoped with over 170 bikes in stock across the country in various specs. Want your own bespoke bike rather than one off the shelf and you are waiting until Easter.

130 R1250RS SE in stock.

They really have 130 new RS in stock? I thought they only sold 13 here each year

Up until very recently they weren't shipping RS at all (some CQ issue they kept schtum about)

Useful tool, having a gander, the RS looks good value compared to an XR or a GS.

they R1250RS seems to be awfully common nowadays. Of course, the R1200RS will always be relatively scarce and become a collectors item. Especially in lupin blue.

I noticed MAX BMW does not show any incoming 2024 R1250RS or R1250R.

Our 2022 RSs arrived at the dealer October 2021.

What do you infer from this? That the RS model will be limited in the US this year? Not that it matters to me, but I'm curious if there's a move afoot to reduce RS production due to...lack of demand?

They have a load of RR's coming, though...!

As already mentioned, the R1250 is on its way out. Maybe that seemingly high level of stock is all the UK will get to sell before the R1300RS is launched next autumn. A lot will depend on whether they are still making 1250 engines or just using up stock made this year.

If the handlebars weren't on the wrong side, they could sell them over here.

Hard to say.
Yesterday I saw 2 posts where people ordered a 2024 RS so it sounds like there will be 2024 RSs in the US.
