Yet Another Orphan - Harry - 04-15-2022

Hello all and thanks Grumpy Goat for providing everyone with a new home. I was sorry to read of the imminent demise of the other RS forum. Sadly it seems to be the nature of forums, they have a limited life span.
I'm Harry from Northern Ireland and I have a 2020 R1250RS in mean and moody black. Thankfully other people bought the yellow and blue models as it helps keep the residuals on the black ones higher Big Grin

Welcome to the Forum Community Harry. Not sure if we have any other members from any part of Ireland ... so especially big welcome. Actually this forum is only a matter of weeks younger that the other one, since their inceptions was prompted by the same event ... the demise of the original RS forum.

Sounds like you are partial to dark coloured bikes as I am ... Big Grin

Welcome Harry!

The RS I'm buying is also in the best color, same as yours. Gazing into its star-strewn night of a surface is like being drawn into an infinity of motorcycling wonder that those "other color" owners will never know. All the more (misguided) power to them, I say, and as you point out, keeps ours ever more rare and ultimately superior.
