These are all reasons why I started RSWasserboxer.com ... to help spread the word and to spread pride in our BMW model of choice. BMW Motorrad seems to give short shrift to this model and it is reflected in its unpopularity in the lineup. The website and this forum (and the YT videos) all take work and if the response is lukewarm then the incentive is greatly diminished.

Heck I once had to "sell" this model to a customer at a multi-line (including BMW) dealership I was stopping at that Saturday. He asked what it was and seemed amazed that it existed and asked all sorts of questions. Another time I stopped at a gas station during a ride for a break and to see what the group of BMW motorcycles stopped there were all about. Turns out that they were the core members of the local BMW riders club, and they too came over and asked about the RS and how I liked it. Again they seemed ignorant of the bike. They were on GSs and other older models I can't remember now, of course.

It is up to us who know about the RS to make it more popular, and I leave it up to you to figure out how best to accomplish this in your various necks of the woods.
