R1200RS + R1250RS Forum
Print view
Zitat von Gaucho im Beitrag #405 I haven't been keeping up with this thread.... So, am I to understand, BMW is going to release the R1250RS in the 2020 model year..., as a 2019 model? And for what it's worth, the S1000XR is only scary because a dirt bike configuration is not supposed to go that fast. If you have a chance to ride the RR, which sports more horsepower, you'll find its rocket-like nature actually feels more tame due to use of appropriate suspension, tires, bars, wind screen, etc.... (If you haven't read it elsewhere, I'm still ticked that the rumors of an S1000RS never came true. And the year the S1000RS was supposed to make an appearance, not only was the XR released, but also, the engineers raised the final exhaust on the RR and killed off the use of SW motech panniers and thereby any ease at touring on the sport bike.) touring 2011-BMW-S1000RR+_0.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Zitat von Ray B im Beitrag #406 If released after the summer holidays, when BMW made the switch-over in the Berlin plant to the new MY (if I remember correctly), the RS technically will be a 2020 model year. The new paint colors, if any, however are normally released towards the end of the year. And of course the XR was scary in a fun sort of way, so fast and easy to ride, so more dangerous to my drivers license than anything else... |

I was going to have a look at the new RS with a view to change before the summer and a planned European trip, but no point as it is not going to be released till September. Very odd. Traditionally BMW do offers in September ( like free panniers with a GS ). Not sure what to do now. |

Zitat von Basil R im Beitrag #410 I had the same dilemma and opted for a new lowered GS 1250 TE, gave me chance to feel the new engine and tour this year on a new bike. Ged

I had a 1200GS ( in fact I had 2 of them, one Low and then regular). I’m not very tall and I found them easy to ride, but a big lump to move around. The RS though probably the same weight ( or near to it ) is physically not as big so it suits me better. |

Zitat von Basil R im Beitrag #412 My words to BMW nearly precisely!!! Although BMW were helpful with the issue they would not allow me to wait till March next year to get the bike delivered had to be September/October. Graham

I needed to change my bike (2015 Triumph Sprint GT) and I didn't want to wait until September so I took advantage of nearly £2000 off the list price of a R1200RS SE and went for one of them on a 19 plate |
