Hello! I just bought a gently used 2020 R1250RS with only 4700 km and I should take delivery later this week.
This is my first BMW after owning several Kawasaki's over the years, the most recent of which was a 2018 Vaquero. Before that I had a Concours 1400, and when I traded that for the Vaquero I had doubts immediately. I'm just not a cruiser guy, even though if was actually a great bike. My last ride of the Vaquero should be this Friday hopefully!
I've already bought a few things for the bike like a Shad 58X top case, Helibar risers, some Grip Puppies, and a cheap windshield deflector from Amazon. The best windshield I ever had was a MRA vario touring shield on my Concours, and I found a little deflector on Amazon that will allow me to convert the stock shield into the same kind of thing. Hey, if it saves me from dropping $300 it's win.
I'm glad this forum seems focused on the RS. Too many other BMW forums are so dominated by the GS bikes......
Anyway, can't wait to get my bike!
Cheers!l
