Well Well Well

Was reading that it was going to be a 2026 release.

Have to double up on my lotto activity for the next few weeks

Looks like no major changes from the front.

Will be interesting to see what they come up with . Probably a cross between the R and a 2025 R/S

Add the RWB colour and sport pack and you are up to £18645, luggage likely to push it over £20k

 

[zoltan]

£138 more them mine, minus centre stand in standard trim . High bars part of the package?
£16400 for the ASA? I am in.

 

[younger06]

Is it me.....or are they after erasing the "Tourer" part of the Sports Tourer??

Subframe needs to be powder coated......badly!!


I kinda love it........ I need to love it.

 

[younger06]

That R 1300 RS SE ASA.....is going to be a €25k bike over here in Rip-Off Ireland

My plan will be to pick up a returned 24 month PCP.

Say a prayer for me

It’s still the same bike as my 30k miler 1250RS . Not sure I can justify an extra £12k to swap

It actually looks like they have made some significant changes to it.

It seems to be edging much more towards the sport part of the Sports Tourer that it is supposed to be.

The have canted the riding position more forward than the existing model.

I would agree with you on the 12k to swap......you would really want to WANT it!!

Too salty for me, my old nail's not done 2000 miles so can't see me rolling over yet. At least it's not as fugly as it's fat sisters

Wouldn't you rather it was powder coated well?

I completely agree. To me it looks like a bike for sportsbike fans, whose bodies don't quite contort as they used to.

I like it though, it's good looking and purposeful.

When you put it like that......that's kinda what it's always been.
