2026 BMW R1300R ... beautiful or ?? What might the RS look like?

[Grumpy Goat]

The bags are smaller. The current generation bags are 30 and 31 liters.

"For touring, the new BMW R 1300 R can be fitted with a newly developed case system and case holders from the BMW Motorrad Original Accessories range, or with preparation for the luggage system as part of the Comfort Package. The cases, which have a capacity of 26 and 29 litres respectively, are electrified and can be unlocked using the central locking system. They also both feature interior lighting, and the left-hand case includes a USB-C charging port.
The tank bag is also new and, for the first time, completely strapless. It attaches to the bike via a tank ring."

I have to laugh at BMW, though. Seriously. Reduced size but ... they are electrified!! And the tank bag is now strapless and attaches to the tank via tank ring. Whoahhh ....

Backlit switchgear? That is actually now a thing for me ... on principle ...

Don't get me wrong ... I love the BMW motorcycles [themselves], but clearly BMW Motorrad are tone-deaf when it comes to features. They only design bikes for God-knows-who. 

At least it looks cool ... insectoid headlamp and sheepshead forehead aside.   The RS must also be a looker if the R is still similar from the "shoulders" back. It will have a windshield so the forehead won't be as pronounced.
