Fuel Guage
I recently purchased a 2007 R1200s, noticed it doesn't have a fuel guage but only warns you when I am down to my last 80km until empty. Is this normal or is there some trick to switch the LCD panel to "fuel level" ?

This is normal. You only get the fuel gauge with the on board computer option.

The last I understood it was "impossible" to add an on board computer. Does anyone have newer information otherwise?

 the only thing I would want that is not on the digitial readout i have is air temp, and maybe a big digital speed readout, all the rest of the crap i could care less.

I don't recall anyone making the upgrade, here are some old threads discussing the computer.

"on board computer" option is simply a yes/no question on start up (ZFE, I-cluster code) :
had the customer payed for the "computer" thing ? if yes > bravo > a good customer > show him the data, if no > shame to you > ... On the other hand I barely can imagine any serious hacker spending time to crack the I-cluster code (why bother?).

You could buy a ZUMO and program it to your fuel range and it will give you a fuel gauge. You would have a 600 buck fuel gauge and a really nice free GPS.
