UPDATE - The pictures from Motorcycle.com show both the R-style handlebar as well as the clip-on style ... in pictres right next to one another - see below. And the same picture has a different windscreen that none of the other pictures has.I will take all these pictures with a grain of salt and wait for real reviews.
UPDATE x2 - Rider Magazine said that the tubular handlebars are optional, and that is new on the 2023. Prior to that it was not optional but an owner had to retrofit it.
Not sure what you're seeing with different windscreens. All the pictures I've seen so far show the same screen, some tinted and some clear but all the same shape.
I like the looks of tubular bars better than the cast bar mount we have now.
The tubular bars are wider and higher. I would like wider but may not like higher. We've had S and RS bars since 1991.
The 2023 RS is up on the BMW USA site if anyone wants to play around with the Build Your Own page.
