I just spent nearly a half hour trying to find a dealership near me that had R1200RS or R1250RSes in inventory. None in Wisconsin do. Closest is a single bike at a dealership in another state over an hour and a half away. Even there, the pictures of it are out of focus, missing descriptions, etc. Are they even trying to sell these? You'd think BMW would see this as a problem and offer an online bike locator for potential customers looking for test rides. Total chicken-and-egg situation; BMW has the resources to address this but for whatever reason doesn't.

Welcome to the dilemma of the RS ... it seems all other BMW models before the RS for some reason. And a lot of that has to do with customer perception of what the ideal bike is for them even if all they ever do is stay on the road and go maybe 100 miles per week. It is almost as if BMW wants the RS to die meanwhile pushing bikes like the R9T in all its variants, all useless to some of us ...
