I know some folks have had issues with in-stock RSs. Morton's BMW in VA has a blue one--looks great!

Great dealer too, BTW.

Look at the forks. Not gold = no Premium package, ie no ESA, DTC, lean-sensitive ABS, cruise control, heated grips, center stand, saddle bag mounts, GPS prep, etc.

Note for 2023 all models announced so far (everything but the 1250R & RS) will come with Premium automatically.

I should have taken a photo of the tag--the model they have does have the ESA, DTC, etc. If interested, just call and ask for Ed or Steve.

It probably has the Premium package minus ESA.
Some of the RS and R models were shipped that way for a short time.

I didn't know that. And... yuck.

Based on the MSRP, it has everything but the 719 stuff

I just opened the link now and see it's a stock photo, not a photo of the RS at the shop.
A lot of times the BMW stock photo shows the bike with silver forks.

I just got a text from Engle's on Friday to let me know that they'd finally sold "RS #1," which shipped without ESA. I kept rooting for a sale, and one fell through about a month ago, so it was good to see it go.
Interestingly, it was picked up by "very nice young military guy" (per Becky), who traded his Harley.
My comment could only be "Best trade ever!"

Good to hear.
