Schaaf I saw this video one year ago, you made me buy this bike. Now after 1year and 2 weeks, with 23000km, 6 tire set used, 2 set of brake pads... I can say it's the best option comparing to all other "sport touring" bikes (F900XR, GSX1000GT, Tracer 9 GT...) tested all of them. Thanks for your content, and for making me discover this hell of a bike. Greetings!

What differences you saw between it and Suzuki GT?

[@javim1000xr]

@@2urbi9 suzuki gsx1000gt, way faster in high revs but suspension and brakes not at the same level and smoothness than RS. Boxer is way more enjoyable in roads like shown in the video. If i could not choose de RS i would go for tracer 9GT rather than GT. Today just ordered an M1000XR competition ;)

The engine sound gets better with additional miles on the bike. My RT has. The roll on power in 6th gear is quite good from around 80 mph, it is quite easy to end up past 100 mph when passing a car. I use mine as my primary transportation, great motorcycle. Great videos Schaaf I find yours very relaxing.

[@Schaaf]

[@glencasson9046]

Very good review Schaaf. I have watched a few reviews about the R 1250 RS and still think if I had the money, which I don`t! I would put R1250R handlebars on it, move the GPS above the TFT screen and have the Exclusive in blue. I really do struggle to understand why this model is not the most popular of the four choices! OH well , we are all different. ride safe.

[@goldfever4570]

I've test ridden the R, RS and GS. The R feels the most agile but lacks wind protection (so far so obvious). The RS feels longer and bigger and the cockpit is pants. The GS is a happy medium - good weather protection, but comfortable and the visibility is brilliant in traffic or riding fast. I used to think the RS was the goldilocks model but it wasn't for me.

[@Schaaf]

Thanks Glen!

Hallo Schaaf, super Video. Fahre eine GS. Möchte aber einen Boxer mit 17 Zoll. Fahre auch Autob. Möchte die RS kaufen. Bitte sag mir deine Erfahrungen. Halbwegs wendig in Kehren ??? Angeblich bei ca 4000 Drehzahl Vibrationen in Lenker und Fußrasten. Danke für deine Zeilen. Peter

[@Schaaf]

Die RS ist ein komfortorientierter Sporttourer. Damals, als ich das Video gefilmt hab, hat mir der Vergleich zur Konkurrenz größtenteils gefehlt. Mittlerweile bin ich kein großer RS Fan mehr. Sie ist in Sachen Handling einfach eine Spur behäbiger als ihre Konkurrenz. Auf der Straße macht mir die RT tatsächlich am meisten Spaß

[@Schaaf]

Vibrationen sind mir aber keine störenden aufgefallen, das ist aber etwas sehr subjektives

[@kn8685]

May I ask, where do you put the mic to avoid wind noise

[@joseteijeiro6601]

Great video. I can see I'm not the only one who loves that bike. But mine does not drift while breaking. In case you didn't know, the front and the rear brakes are combined and balanced. So if you press the brake pedal you can easily block the rear wheel. Also the speed sensation when you see this video is astonishing. And the shift sound is impressive. Better seen it than driving yourself. At least more relaxing. You even hear a whistle when you cross near other bikes. Best regards.

[@Schaaf]

Hahaha I was not drifting and I didn't touch the rear brake. But thanks to the combined system my heavy front brake use affected the rear as well.

[@joseteijeiro6601]

Can I easily reach the floor and comfortably or only with one feet? - Air protection at 130-140 km/h? Neck, shoulders, head, arms... I know it is not the RT but.... - Position, ergonomy. What about a long trip? Let's say 800 - 900 kms in a day. Many thanks!

[@stewartwilliams2535]

Great video, great sound! I appreciate the lack of crappy background music, just the sweet sound of the engine being ridden hard and fast. Also appreciate the lack of constant blah blah blah chatter that most bike reviewers engage in. I have a 2021 R1250RS and absolutely love it. I mostly ride it in town or short local rides, and for my very short work commute (2 miles). The bike is so nimble in town, but I love to get out on local back roads or short interstate jaunts to wind it out and enjoy that shift cam engine. I have not yet gotten into the mountains with it. I did ride an R1250RT in Italy and Austria last year with my wife as passenger. Loved it. It's a bit heavier than the RS, but very comfortable with my wife riding with me. I believe she may have rebelled if we were riding 2-up on the RS. My other bike is a 2018 K1600GTL. It is a bit heavier for in town, but a dream for long distance touring and mountain roads. The engine is so sweet and the quick-shifter is like buttah! If I had to have only 1 bike, it would be the RT, but having the RS and the GTL is the best solution for me.

[@Schaaf]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing

[@pavelm8736]

Those downshifts look pretty violent... A lot of bangs from gearbox and rear wheel slides. Is this you being hard on the rear brake or it is caused by quickshifter?

[@goldfever4570]

Shaft drive is quite unforgiving if you change down too early

[@pavelm8736]

​@@goldfever4570 Yep, I know. I have shaft driven 1200cc with single plate dry clutch... But in this BMW case quickshifter electronics should revmatch during downshift. If this doesn´t work 100% than antihop clutch should save the situation. So I´m wondering what is causing a lot of rear wheel slides and hops in the video. Is it quickshifter not working ideally during downshifts or Schaaf being heavy on the right foot?

[@Schaaf]

It's the rear ABS kicking in. There actually isn't any hopping or sliding. But: I wasn't even touching the rear brake. The brakes are linked and when using the front brake violently the rear gets engaged as well. Hard enough to kick in ABS. It's a bit annoying but not an issue when riding!

Hi Schaaf, I am curious. In the sport touring world the GSX1000GT seems to have won the heart of many people due to it value and engine. If you had to choose the R1250rs vs the GSX1000GT fwhich would you choose, and why?

[@mitchdehotte]

I like so much the telelever that I asking myself about the new boxer, if it worth it ?, I like simple things, and water cooled etc doesn t go in this direction I was riding a 2009 gs, maybe the best one I had, I trioed the new 2010 with the radial valves, was not bad but I like things to be as simple as possible so the old version of the engine was something of a graal for me A friend got a RS1250, since he get it, It was harder to play in front ;)

[@GaryCrumrine]

I think you are going to find the RS is in a class of it's own. Not quite as harsh as a true sport bike, but able to hang in there with them is pushed. I have a few more years on my body and still enjoy it. Also have a new RT that I take on longer tours. I do not ride aggressively either bike. I bought my RT a little over a year ago and found it a bit top heavy. I dropped it a couple of times due to not having the strength in my legs to keep it up at a stop. So I purchased an RS just to get to a point where I got more familiar with it then transition back to the RT when I felt better able to handle it. It has worked. But that RT is a handful. At 68 I should have thought it through more. Definitely take one for a ride though. I have 14 years on you and things change as you approach 70 years old

[@giovanniricci2869]

@@GaryCrumrine Wow sir, really thank you for having taken the time to provide me this insight. I eventually purchased the RS back in April and I just passed 15000 km, with a few longer trips.

[@Schaaf]

Front brake only. It is the combined braking system's fault

[@ahmad00502]

How you meade it sound like this ? It dosent sound like this stuck right?

[@gammaraytube]

My question is what are you doing that causes the back tire to sound like it's locking up? Do you have the traction control off and your downshifting with too high revs? Like riding and watch out for deer, drivers pulling out of side roads, etc. You may have the skills but you are taking some risk on an open, public road. Stay safe and don't rely too much on other factors not coming into play.

[@Schaaf]

it's close to locking up because I'm hard on the front brake and the unneccessary combined braking then engages the rear too. Actually I'm not using the rear brake myself. I have adapted my style of riding over the years to a somewhat decent pace. I know the road by heart. Know all the intersections. I go for inspection runs before the video. Although I do gamble with deer crossings. Although those will end fatal, no matter if 100kph or 150...

@Schaaf i really want to to put the R1250RT through its paces and give a review. I am so torn between the RT and the RS ... both bikes have always been on my wish list. You seem to ride more like how i ride

[@Schaaf]

I'm a big fan of the RT but unfortunately I could never film it. The RT is quite a bit more comfort orientated but you can still go very fast with it. And it handles nicer than the RS

[@1MrBryn]

Dammit. I've had an F900R for less than a year and I've officially got the BMW bug. I'd never been interested in the brand before but after living with one, they really just a bike that does everything well and nothing badly. You could accuse that as meaning no character, but I just call it brilliant engineering.

[@Schaaf]

try the Boxer engines. They combine brilliant engineering with character ;)

@@Schaaf I kinda want to track down an HP2 Sport now. Sadly there's only one for sale in Oz and it's really expensive

[@marcwouters6059]

Very nice video of the RS . I love my R 1200 GSA !!!!

[@Schaaf]

thanks Marc

[@marcblondot784]

Thanks for the video! And this road!!! Feels like home… I drive with 1200 LC GS and this one is amazing. Original tailpipe (hope it’s the right word!) I see? Thanks again…

[@Schaaf]

Yes

[@marcblondot784]

@@Schaaf thanks for your answer! Last one : where this road is? Drive safe...

[@MrAndrew1953]

Brilliant bike. Bit of wheel chatter under heavy braking. Really nice strong engine / exhaust sound when being worked hard - memorising.

[@Schaaf]

Yup

[@renzjervissanandres2402]

[@Schaaf]
