Teapot One is lukewarm on the 2021 R1250RS

[Grumpy Goat]

I'm a patreon supporter of Teapot and messaged him about the review; he said "Got to admit, after I filmed this, I jumped back on it at the end of the day to ride it back to the dealership, and when you opened her up and rode with some 'spirit', the bike came alive". So maybe he'll revisit for a longer ride at a later date.

I would not be surprised if he changes his review a bit after spending a bit more time. Those were his initial impressions in that video after all. 

One of the endering features of the RS (and likely all BMW boxers) is that they can be docile when needed and can also be boisterous when needed, so that if one is gentle with the throttle the docile nature is evident and one could get the wrong impression. Suddenly twist the throttle and you could fall off the back if not expecting the reaction. That multi-faceted personality is absolutely fine by me. AAMOF it is one of the reason I got rid of the S1000R. It was too one dimensional (always raring to go-go-go) compared to the RS, which can be relied upon to be in whatever mood you are in.
