Tempting
This is tempting me to perhaps buy a BMW newer than a 84. Problem is BMW closed down the only dealership within a 200 mile distance. So I guess despite it being a great looking bike, I will pass. St.

MCMXCIVRS
More toys than space
I'd say based on past models of each, the RS will be a somewhat more aggressive riding position with higher more aft set pegs and more forward reach to slightly narrower bars. And of course less protection from the elements with the much smaller fairing. One would have to compare both in the flesh (metal ?) to say for sure though.

The press release for the Roadster says an alternator? Is it a change or German speak for rotor/stator?

Since the Oilhead release, maybe even the K bikes, BMW has been using an automotive style integrated alternator. The Airhead was the last bike from BMW with a rotor and stator as separate components.
I think the Wetheads have internal system unlike the alternators on top of the engine of previous models. It’s why repairing bad stators requires pulling engine and cracking cases. Someone quoted 11 hours labor!
Edit:
German speak! Inside the engine

Not sure how that very light bracket holds it in place.
