R1200S - New Spy Pics

[Luca]

They have been taken by a "Quellidellelica" member on the Bernina, the quality is low, but there are some interesting cues:

[Bails]

Now this is looking a little more believable!

[RoLoo]

...OK...!

...an S with breadbins on each side..., special Lunch Edition ?
...strange exhaust....
...is there a Laser already available...??

Ron.

...nice colors BTW !

[Dr. Curve]

This is the real one. Get ready boys.............we hope to have one here by late november or early december..........but they may release in Europe first.......in which case we wait till april. I am already on for one. Thanks Luca for these non photo shop shots of BMWs big twin move.

[Luca]

RoLoo, I think those bags are only for some kind of data-acquisition system

In november it should be shown in Milan, at the "Salone del Ciclo e del Motociclo". I will make a detailled photo-report (and offer a beer if someone of you will be there too)

[RoLoo]

...so ; no lunch-bradwurst-box on these bikes....hmmmm.

...beer :
…generous… !!

Ron.


BTW : …is this a R 1200 S Monoposto ???

[lemec]

That about looks believable. How do they get license plates for those things if they're prototype/pre-production models? I think those personal-sized ammo cans are for the U.S. market only

[captainasty]

Who said those tags were for those bikes Besides I'm sure they have special tags just for the prototypes.

[Rapid Dog]

twin bung holes!

[850dunstall]

hard to pick anything else out from this angle, but hey better than any magazine trash reports...

just from looking at the hand/arm position... looks to me like a low bar installation,

the exhaust reminds me of duc and honda, side by side is now passe'?

[wswartzwel]

Appears to have lots of cornering clearance... LED taillight.... Aftermarket Exhaust sales will be good too...

[BMW Atlanta]

finally some real dirt. Not sure about it yet, need to see some front end detail and side profile. Its looking promising though.

You said it!

[roger albert]

Yes, aftermarket exhaust sales should be good indeed.
The vertical hole-over-hole thing looks like really bad affect on a horizontal oval, but half of us would probably chuck the stock exhaust anyway, so I won't complain too much. More concerned about the front end. If it's botched/ST-ish, it could be a lot more expensive to fix.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed. BMW did great with the current S.

[Steve Carlton]

I kinda like the exhaust. I'll bet it'll grow on you, maybe look better in person. There won't be any mistaking what bike it is from behind!

[roger albert]

If that cheap done-to-be-different tack-on grows on me, then I'm going to start showering in a good anti-fungal single-malt. Which would still make replacing the exhaust to be the economical/prudent thing to do.

[Skippy]

I like what I see so far.The rear ia styled the same as the K1200S wheel witch is a good thing and still underseat exhaust.The mirrors also look very usable just hope they didn't do any strange things withe the front.

Wise choice to put $1,000 into 3hp for yesterday's look. I'm not into the louder exhaust note all the time, but that's just a preference. I'll put the extra coin into some Ohlins.

[motoman]

That's not an R1200S--- that's a K217!

Actually, I'd like to wait and see if they've redesigned the O2 sensor...
