This still looks a little photo-shoppie (maybe)....but looks good IMO.

Where are the oil coolers? Under the tank?

Looks good to me. I like the front headlight. Could be great.

I like it DJ...

So, are you gonna make the jump from the 1150 to the 1200?

That tank deffo isn't finalised then.

We'll see...but I don't think so...for financial reasons..

..I still very lucky to even own the Roadster that I have now....I'll keep buying lotto tickets...

This must be close or they wouldn't put it on the front cover because they would look pretty silly if it's nothing like this.

I can't wait to see a pic of the real thing..sharp and clear.

Harper's put Brittany on the cover. Silly?

I have never yet seen a motor mag not look silly fairly often.

I think the cover is not close. Too many 1150 elements that were changed on the other 1200's in the line to date.

(Deej, not trying to pick a fight....had one of those already today.)

Traction control, huh? Interesting.

Cheers!

MikeCam...you're right...but I think of all the bike mags out there MOTOCICLISMO is the classiest of all...and I have great respect for them as a magazine.

Sometimes I wish I could read Italian...

All I know for a fact is that the new R1200R will be conservative in its styling, able to use the R1200RT/ST/K1200GT saddle bags, lighter in weight, better handling, use the ST/RT engine and tranny and final drive unit and the new non servo ABS brakes, and a larger one piece oil cooler.

Dean, I figured it had to be a single oil cooler. Ironic then that BMW integrated the old stuck-on oil cooler scoops/covers into the new design. The family resemblance is strong with this new bike.
