BMW Will Announce the R1300RS and RT April 29, 2025

According to BMW specs, the RS went from being 13 lbs lighter than the GS to 17 lbs heavier. That is a big swing. I'm not sure what is weighing the RS down, but it doesn't really fit with making the RS more sporting.

Point well taken.

All I know is that my RS is one heavy little lump. I have to push my bikes around my garage from time to time in order to squeeze them in between the car and the workshop, and all I can say is it is far easier to manhandle the larger Tiger than it is to handle the more compact RS. That contrast started with the Tracer before the Tiger.
