Howdy! I'm still here to say hi.
I've had 7 different bikes in the past, and one week ago I traded my 2021 BMW R 18 in for a 2026 BMW R 1300 RS, in Brooklyn Grey with the 719 package and all that. This thing freakin' rips! Oh, and I got the ASA and wasn't expecting to love this automatic clutch as much as I do. I actually went in and test rode a standard transmission R 1300 RS on a demo day, and absolutely loved it, so I went back a couple of days later to pick one up for myself. Curiosity got the better of me and I test rode this ASA-equipped model as well, and fell even more in love with the bike.
Haven't done anything to this bike, and likely won't do much at all. I have always customized my other bikes, from seats and exhausts to mirrors and more, but I think I like what this already comes with (along with the 719 parts I've got). If I do spend anything extra on the bike, it's going to be on luggage, which is pretty dang expensive if you get the electrified BMW bags.
Hope this forum picks up as more people learn about the whole R 1300 range. Until then, ride safe!
