R1200RS + R1250RS Forum

I'm about to take the leap and buy a new R1250RS Exclusive and have joined the forum for advice and research purposes. Hoping to become a fully fledged member of the community soon! Riding with Wey Valley Advanced Motorcyclists in leafy Surrey, UK; currently on a 2010 Honda CB1000R R-A Extreme but finding the naked a bit too exposed for my commuting and have always hankered after a Beemer bike to go with my car. |

Welcome. The RS is a great bike and the 1250 version is superb. Great choice. |

Welcome! You're going to love it!

The RS 1250 is a fantastic bike. It may take a bit of getting used to after the litre bike, but it gets better with age... |

Welcome, the obviously biased opinion is that these are lovely bikes with a wide potential from Sunday blasts to two week tours, 2-up fully laden. As you will know there are seat height options and that is perhaps one thing to try to decide on prior to ordering, most else you can add-on later, but it would be annoying to get the height wrong and end up ordering a second one (and selling the original on flea-bay). |

Zitat von OlieL im Beitrag #1 Hmmm, you know that a bike and car of the same make parked together is like double denim  . Time to get an Audi I think  Seriously, you won't miss the Honda after the first ride (s)

Zitat von andygriff im Beitrag #9 Audi - pish. Munich beats Ingolstadt any day :) I think the R1250RS Exclusive and my '02 Le Mans Blue E39 M5 will be very happy stablemates. I look forward to that first ride - may even be this weekend... |

Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #8 Didn't have much choice on that front, I got a bike from UK stock (Feb '20 build, so has the tracker etc.) rather than wait for a custom, so I'm going to end up with a few spare bits (including the massive chrome exhaust as I'm getting the Akro item!). I found a Wunderlich Aktivcomfort High on Fleabay, luckily, was being sold by Wunderlich themselves - so I'll fit that and put the standard seat aside unused to be flogged in due course. I can't wait to fire her up for the first time... |

Zitat von Don im Beitrag #12 It’s here - and I’m not :) Picked it up just before the showroom shut on Tuesday due to the lockdown. Mine was literally the last bike out the door. Only ridden the 4 miles home so far. Lots to try out and learn over coming days! I’m glad Michael Gove said we wouldn’t be stopped purely for riding / driving... |

Zitat von Ray im Beitrag #14 You could use it for getting groceries. Unless you have a top box that would involve multiple journeys..... Alan |
