BMW Will Announce the R1300RS and RT April 29, 2025

Not cheap in the US.
The Red White and Blue with a rear rack is $24,865.
I didn't look if that includes destination.
You still need to add side bags.

Probably does not include destination and in the grand scheme of things that doesn't matter to me since that is a fraction of the base price and is fairly even across all bikes in the class. The Red-White-Blue version is the mid-level and at almost $25k MSRP that is ridiculous. The Grey with Yellow version is the top level and goodness knows what they would be asking for that. My bike was top spec for just under $19k when I bought it, before panniers were added. Now they have electronically locking panniers and top box available so if that is included it would likely be closer to a $2k option.

Pet peeve of mine is ... for all this tech I do not hear of backlit switchgear. After owning a bike with that *and* seeing inexpensive Chinese bikes offering it, I find it unforgivable that BMW does not include this feature. Ticks me off, actually.
