More useful information in your 15 min. than in a 30-50 minute comedy show from the men with over 1M followers. Hope your channel continues to grow! We need more talented ladies in the motorcycle YT segment. Now if only I could get the Macarena out of my head. The leader needed to ride faster, so you weren’t bored enough to sing.

Really interesting. With the dynamic suspension do you know if it’s just rear or is it front and rear (my F900R is just rear) also I hear BMW is currently struggling in getting factory electronics and it’s really tough to get Dynamic options due to parts availability. But maybe that’s just for the F900R and not for all models such as this one. Either way great review and something that seriously needs a test ride as sits above an F900R and below an S1000R power, torque and price wise. Thanks Kate.

I got rid of my 2022 Triumph Speed Twin for a 2022 RS Sport with all the bells and whistles and the complete luggage pack. So this is now the ultimate sport tourer. One turn of the key and off comes the bags and top box and you go from tourer mode to boy/girl racer mode. I've only done 2000klms on her so far but if I had one quibble I don't know what it would be as I haven't found it yet. We don't get the SOS thing here in Australia.

Also, the bike seems nice on an open road but what about around town. Stopping and starting at lights, stop signs and traffic? You mentioned that you have an R 1250 R right? How is that bike and why did you decide to get that one? Thanks

Hi Kate. Great review. I am looking to order mine this week and spec it up. Have you tried the tubular bar version yet? Its one thing i am not sure of, together with the sport seat (extra 20mm height) although it appears that you cant have the heated seats with the sport seat option. I am 6' 3" tall so might benifit from the higher one. I wonder how it would work with the tubular bars? Keep the reviews coming, very informative and fun too!

After three GSs, the last a 1250 GSA, I got tired of the weight and the height, not forgetting the ‘adventure’ marketing. So I moved ‘down’ to a V2S Multistrada, basically a sports tourer on stilts which is great fun to ride. But next time I will definitely try the RS as I do miss the huge torque of a boxer engine and you can now get the higher tubular bars as an option.

Always great reviews Kate… can’t help but feel we are loosing the pure sensation of riding a motorbike… or are we now riding a computer, with all this hicus locus trickery no wonder it’s difficult to feel the road beneath, to feel when to and when not to, to get a feel for the bike under you and the road beneath the tyres. Love the look of this bike and have tried it a few times past few years but 1st time I then went for the R9T since it felt more like a motorbike, had a feel the RS did not give. Then tried the RS again when went shift cam but again lacked the feeling I craved in a motorbike and after a few more trials went for the kwak z900rs…. So what I’m getting at is having all these tricks, toys and gizmos means we are losing the feeling of what riding a motorbike actually is. How can we get that feel when the suspension might smooth out the ride but also takes away that feeling, the brakes almost brake for you, the throttle and rear wheel connection has a brain that is not in your head….etc etc. So although love the look of the RS and most of the new generation of motorbikes but for me they have lost or are losing that sense of what riding is all about. Enjoy the ride people, let’s keep it pure.

@@TheBez1965 The stock screen is woeful, I basically keep it low and treat it like a naked. The national V Stream I have works for me, but big screen only for touring +I still use earplugs. The best screen ever was on my RT though....

Hi Kate loved your preamble “so guys gals and everyone in between” so very inclusive. I love my R1200 RS Iconic with only one gripe which is the sat nav cradle is too close to the tank and I was hoping BMW would have moved it like on the 1200 GS which I also have, but sadly not. Love your vlogs and long may they continue xx

I miss the days when the Beemers I purchased were the model of simplicity, reliability, and fun, which has vanished with all these idiotic "features", that cause endless problems and breakdowns, to the point that most guys and gals I know who've bought their new Beemer's in the last 5-10 years have to put up with constant breakdowns, with the dealers and mechanics spending more time with their bikes than they do... It's like many of my buds who own Harley's, and love them, though their wives not so much, because when their guy goes out for a ride, they get to follow him in the pick up, so when the bike breaks down, they can be there to help scoop it up, and drive it to the shop. Isn't that a joy? Not in my book. In my humble opinion, also, all the "controls" for different things diminishes one's skill set, because instead of growing as a rider in your skills, you're dependent on all the little tricks of technology to make up for a lack of developing the skills you need to have to be a competent and skillful rider. It's too many distractions, and too many things that can and do go wrong, and so, though I love all Beemers, I suggest buying a set of diapers with the new ones, like Cameron's dad in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, so you can just admire your bike in the garage, and rub it with those diapers like one would rub a genie's lamp, wishing for a day when you won't be too afraid to ride it, and it won't go sideways for you. I dream of simpler, more joyful days, before the sickness of "social media", and all the stupid distractions of today's world, when these things weren't infecting people with the mind virus of discontent, like we see everywhere nowadays... Safe riding, when you can. Love the videos, Kate, even with the aforementioned caveats.
