Ain't dead yet...

Maybe they will bring out a 2024.5 model much as they did in 2017 with the 2017.5 GS model.  Same engine in 2017 but some small revisions to beak, air intake and a couple of other minor changes.

Maybe, but I'd have thought that with such a radical re-design (new engine, new features, new/sleeker bodystyle) it would be a full year model. This suggests that either it is not ready for production and/or they have enough major 1250 parts in stock that they need to turn into bikes. I guess we'll see.

One thing is for sure is that there will be no R1300RSs in the dealerships until after the R1300GSs have been selling for a while. So maybe late 2025 ...? Gives them time to freshen the bodystyle as well as add a couple more commonsense features like backlit buttons and a better windshield setup.
