R1100S - replacement model
Two Questions:
What took over the R1100S's place in BMW lineup? When did production of the R1100S stop? |

Great question - I was poking around on BMW Motorad last evening and it looks like BMW has no idea WTF end is up.
1- Urban model R1200R 1- Sports model K1300S Yes, they are still showing images of the R1200S but you cannot buy a new one as it has been discontinued. Hi-Performance - HP2S and Megamoto - I am sure the HP2S is phenominal but I am not willing to spend that kind of cash on a weekend play toy. If I were going to drop that much I would go with the MV Agusta or a Ducati. I think the low price S1000RR is going to steal a bunch of sales form the Japs, but I really don't want to ride around on an uncomfortable crotch rocket. If that was what I wanted I would own one instead of an R1100S. |

Namesake-wise, I'd say the R1200S. Functionally, I'd say it was more the R1200ST.

Looks like BMW is only supporting the boxer technology in either a cruiser or high performance sport bike. I don't see anything in between.
