Exactly my feeling too. It is as if, because it has a boxer twin engine, it doesn't qualify to be reviewed alongside bikes with conventional engines especially if they have more cylinders. And that is not helped if BMW is not pushing the model as well. It is the manufacturers that send bikes to these motojournalists to review, and they will ride whatever is sent. So unless they didn't ask BMW at all, BMW should have sent them RSs to test.
No, I lay the blame for the RSs obscurity squarely on the doorstep of BMW, and I am no fanboy to where I would be afraid of saying so.
