R1200R - Real pics...
...here:

It seems smaller, doesn't it?

They may have got this right. A crisp, tidy, evolution of the R1150R. A think a little bit of K1200R influence may have been cool but I bet this bike wil sell to a wider audience and have a longer shelf life. I can't wait to see it in person.

Looks nice. Be cool if they make another Rockster version. That guy in there looks kinda like a young Rapid Puppy...

Even though you can only see the back of the insturments they look like the clocks from the F800 bikes.

Does anyone else think it looks like an oversized Monster? And even though the Monster is a truly classic design of a motorcycle that it's a bit tired? Maybe my naked-bike interests are waning. Maybe it's just a strange first-impression?

That must be this Racegun guy riding the R12R because he's almost scraping the cylinder heads in the one picture!

More Speed-Triple than Monster to my eyes.

If its anything close to the old R1150R, Id trade in a heartbeat given a proper deal.

Looks good!!!

Looks like a current generation R12R to me, LOL. It does not appear to have a tach and shares the headlight and gauges of the HP2. Low rise exhaust would be my only complaint, but you can't have it all. Should sell better then the R1150R whenever it hits the showrooms. We are really missing this nitch at the moment.

Agreed. Just add the famous BMW headlight treatment and the proper hooligan rider, and viola!

It will have the ST/RT 110 HP engine, tranny and final drive. The RT/ST/GT bags will fit with a full size left bag, The ABS brakes will be the new non servo as used on the R1200S, lighter, better handling, better mileage....and a hell of a lot faster than the R1150R. Definitely two thumbs up.

Looking very good and a bike that will probably suit my needs more then the R1100S does nowadays.I'm glad that the picture Hugo posted that where on the cover of some magazine wasn't correct(as I already expected). Hope there's also wide rear tire option that will also provide the same style wheels as in the R1200S. Looking very nimble and nice wide bars I guess it will be great to ride around town and back roads. I can imagine it would look better with a black telelever front triangle.

Motorcyclenews.com is reporting that it will also have Anti-Spin Control (ASC) as an option for those bikes also equipped with the new ABS system. It will also have the Tire Pressure Control (TPC) option available.

Other options include ESA, 3 seat heights, sport or touring windshield, center stand, heated grips, alarm, yada yada yada.

It does have a tach. The tach & speedo are an over/under configuration.
