Looks nice. Not too radical a departure from the R1150R, with a few nice tweeks:

-Lower exhaust for 2 full bags.
-It looks like the catalyst is in the can, and not under the transmission.
-Skeletonized rear frame, like the GS- so we can assume they followed the GS mission to lighten the bike.
-It looks like they've consolidated and moved the oil cooler to between the exhaust manifolds, but I'm having a hard time seeing the pictures.

I like the shape of the tank. I hope they made it at least 5 gallons before the reserve light. I also see that it looks like they have gone to cheaper and lighter master cylinders and a much smaller instrument cluster. Overall, I think it looks okay. If it is significantly lighter, it looks like it could make a light duty motard platform. The price is going to be a big thing.

I like mine better.

They did away with the oil coolers! and in it's place left a 'bulge'. I also don't care for the solid tele-lever.

we'll see how they price it.
