I'm literally about to pull the trigger on a 2022 r1250rs after riding a Yamaha FJ 09 for quite some time.. Of course a littler persuasion here will help me expedite the purchase!
Welcome to the Forum Community!
As Ray said, the RS sells itself indeed. Take it for a good test ride and you’ll see what we mean. It does it all. Fast when you want speed, slow when you need to ride like it’s a scooter, excellent long distance tourer, great to work on if you are a DIYer, and good fuel economy as well. Not to mention bags of character.
As you’d see from my signature my other bike is a Tracer 900 GT, and while I like that also, the old RS is still the boss.
Thanks, I'm sure I'll love this bike, I enjoyed the FJ but am ready for the upgrade. Sadly I can't find any dealers with inventory to test ride so will just make the purchase, I'm confident I won't regret it.
I'm located on Long Island, about 25 miles east of NYC.
