I had a 900 sei. That bike was all about the motor really smoooooooooth. But under 45 degrees it needed starting fluid to start from cold. Between the seat and suspension the ride under 80 mph was tough featuring butt burns after an hour. I replaced it with an '85 k100rs, the motor wasn't as nice but the rest of the bike was better and I really liked lockable and detachable hard bags.
I think BMW had to show this bike now, the K1200LT was long in the tooth several years ago and this can generate some excitement. Perhaps they may sell something like the Concept 6 as a platform to introduce the new motor ala HP12. Really this is the platform for the new LT. A modern 6 with ESA chassis and all the other electronic safety options could be a sweet ride. But when are they going to bring gasoline direct injection to bikes?
