I only know of one other RS owner who color matched his bags to the Austin Yellow Metallic so we're definitely in a very small group. Sounds like a great ride you have planned. Post a picture of your bike.
Here it is, fresh from a 750 mile tour of south and eastern Washington.
I think the Austin Yellow Metallic bikes are rare. I've never seen one around the Puget Sound area and only seen one - that looked like it was an 'F' series in Victoria, BC. The color originated on the M3, I think, and I've only seen one of those.
Happiness comes not from what you have, but from enjoying all that you do have no matter how much or little that may be. Be stubborn with your dream but flexible with your path

Going the extra mile with the colored bags is worth it! I got lucky and found mine already painted. I wish they had gone all the way with the white frame and not kept the subframe black.
My 2024 has a black frame. Personally I like the Red frame.

I'm guessing you did not get a Style Sport package?
Usually just the bikes with the Style Sport package has the colored frame.
Since 2016 the bikes with the Sport package came with grey, white, blue or red frames on the RS and R.
