I believe the RS is under publicized and under appreciated by BMW. Why build a bike if you won't expend some effort to sell them.

I noticed that too, but I would allow that is likely because they have not bothered to update the RS. Most likely not the MOA's fault (not that you are saying it is).
I do see BMW pushing these R9Ts, and while they are a nice bike, who the heck is buying them and being part of the BMW motorcycle culture such that these multiple variants and updates are justified? I mean really? Meanwhile the one RS variant is ignored, except (apparently) by the Metropolitan Police.
I fully agree with your last statements.
