Hold on sales of 2023 RS bikes?

[Grumpy Goat]

Dealer is located in Maryland. It's not, apparently, a do not ride/safety recall. Also, a friend checked the BMW database and a bike I was interested in is not listed.

Another rider I heard from just bought a bike from another dealer and that one also told the rider (in another forum) that they had a bike with the recall (on drive shaft).

Thanks. The driveshaft "non-issue" has not been covered by any sort of service advisory / recall / whatever from BMW Motorrad as far as I know, although there have been failures of the yokes of these driveshafts on several R- bikes including the RS. Haven heard anything about any gearbox input shaft.

There is an advisory on the driveshaft housing for R-bikes other than the RS (GS and RT), where the owners have been advised to bring the affected bikes in to have a small rubber duck-bill valve retro-fitted in the underside of the driveshaft housing. It is felt that this will better evacuate water in the housing thereby reducing surface rusting at the rear spline.

Also, the white one has the tubular bars and the black one has the more typical RS bars.

Optional tubular bars. Do you like them? Some do.
