Changed mine after 1300 miles for a GS found the suspension on the Tracer too soft two up & the load capacity was pretty low, started by looking at the RS but after we both sat on the GS & the bigger tank the GS won out. Another 2 litres in the tank on the RS might have been a different story. Great move enjoy many miles of smiles 👍🏻

I traded my 2018 BMW R1200RT in on a Harley Davidson Milwaukee 8 Electra Glide. Also had enough of tall uncomfortable bikes. I'm 72-years old. Last summer I rode that wonderful HD V-Twin Seattle to Chicago and back. Wished I had realized much sooner what all the Harley Davidson hype was about - and why have sold for years!

I test rode a F900XR and the same day a Tracer 9. Neither stirred my soul in….the….least. I had thought about downsizing but my RS is so well-balanced. I think I can manage with it for a few more years….hopefully.

I've lowered the footpegs to help my dodgy knees now so looking forward to many miles on the RS

I just bought the same bike. Only thing that annoys me is as shown in your video, when the fuel tank is low nearly the whole screen is taken up with a warning !

They do like their warnings, BMW overkill. Still a lovely bike tho

I've test rode the 1200 and 1250RS but coukdn't get on with the standard bars as I'm a 5'7" shorty and found the reach to the bars just a bit too much and went for a lowered GS each time but still fancy one so how much difference do the bar risers make? They do a tubular handlebar too now so guess that's an option. SWMBO doesn't go on the back anymore so there's no need for a GS for that purpose either

I haven't ridden the bike without the heli risers so hard to compare, but just done 1100 miles in 4 days around Ireland with no wrist or back problems

The screen was on the bike when I bought it . I added the spoiler to the GT and it made a massive difference so intended to do same on RS, I'm 5'11 and the screen works for me
