Same reviewer rides the RS and... [drum roll] came away unimpressed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQEnfGCmFlY
He liked the R1250R better for ride quality, and the GS better for versatility, mentioned the S1000XR as a better pure sport-oriented tourer and the RT better for a straight tourer. He points to the more traditional sport tourer of old (of which he includes the RS) to have gone out of style.
I'm still of the opinion that sport-touring is what you do with the bike. As I intend to commute, tour, track, and ride like an insane bastard through backroads I feel the RS is really the only choice and this guy is full of shit. But then, that's just me.
