R1250R Fans, I'd communicated via email with the management at my local dealer regarding a 2023 Triple Black R1250R they had. Rode my "top heavy" F850 GSA into the dealership yesterday after an excursion in the area I live. For the record, I like this bike for camping and manageable off-road adventures, so I am not selling it or trading-in. The dealer had a new 2022 R1250R I test rode because the 2023 was still crated. I'd never ridden a BMW boxer engine bike and wow, what a difference a lower center of gravity and smaller front tire makes, even though the weight is effectively the same as the 2022 F850 GSA. I fell in love, mechanically and lean angle-wise, so to speak. Bought it and they'll have it set up late Wednesday.
OK, this thread is just not about gloating and gushing. I will want to ride this bike on 1-3 day trips. As such I will want to take 1-2 changes of underwear, socks and T-shirts and toiletries. I'm doing some searches and am having trouble finding options for rear racks or smallish pannier bags to bring the stuff. BMW shows some cream colored small "Urban" panniers, but they do not reference side racks for them.
Anybody have advice on products? Thank You X 3
