The new 2019 BMW R1250RS

[Grumpy Goat]

I do think that the Tuono is an awesome road bike. Very different to the RS though. Not sure how easy it is to secure luggage and that chain is more hassle but for a different role it's perhaps unbeatable.

And that is exactly how I approach buying multiple bikes. I will not have 2 bikes with the same use profile - makes no sense to me. The Aprilia Tuono / BMW S1000R / Honda CB1000R are all 4 cylinder roadsters that are best in the sort of urban / suburban settings in which I do 90% of my riding. I would not want to do long distance on them.

As for luggage - that is a great point since I do not like using backpacks, especially in my warmer climate.
