Hi folks!
I bought my first BMW motorcycle in 1990.  I currently ride a 2023 R1250RS.  This is my 7th BMW and 5th boxer.  The new 1250's have come a long way since my 1993 R100GSPD airhead.  I've had a RT and GS in the past, but my favorite was the 2004 R1150RS.  Glad to be back on an RS.

My wife and I have been playing with Vespa scooters the last few years.  They are an absolute blast for running around but not really great for distance travel.  She may end up with a R1250R to compliment my RS.

Well done.
Have fun.
I also have that color scheme - though with a radiator guard, skid plate, and a few other modifications.
