First Review of the R1300RS

[Grumpy Goat]

Here is another review from Lamb Chop. Review of its sportiness in this video, and I totally understand / agree with his comments. He will review the touring aspect in a separate video.

He does gripe about the lack of panniers, but funnily enough I (understand and) agree with BMW's (likely) rationale for offering the sporty version without panniers or adaptive cruise control, but with all the sport bike bits including shorty levers, that old fart sport bike riders would appreciate. 

They have essentially carved 2 RSs out of the one platform and that is good for sales to the expected demographic. It is undoubtedly the most gorgeous looking RS ... the lines are beautiful. Good on them for bringing back the separate tail-light which is a beautifully integrated design.
