Hi Esquared,
I agree with you and the old saying, and I’m a bit of a “worrier”. I’ll see how I feel and take account of miles done this year by Sept/Oct. At least there are always plenty of BMW Approved RSs around, so I think I will deff go 1250 at some stage. The BMW UK Approved scheme is great, but I need to get a lower image bike next time. An 18 month old fully specced Approved bike with 4-5k miles can be had for £12,500 vs £17,000 (!!) new (Yes they’ve really shot up in price for 2023). As you say selling Privately is the way to go, but the RS is not a popular model in the GS-obsessed UK, so not so easy. I also don’t want to get caught out and have to service and MOT (our annual legal road-worthiness test) a bike I’m about to sell. It’s worth trading and letting BMW have that hassle……
Many Thanks for your response.
