It looks like the new 1200R has a higher payload capacity than the 1150.

thanks to the fender & the repositioning of the oil cooler, i feel that the r1200r looks someone similar to the r1100r. a style that makes the bike look "normal".

According to that website, the new R1200R comes in three colors.. Night Black, Crystal Grey and Granite Grey. Those are colors? At least when the R1150R had it's debut, it offered Atlanta Blue (fastest) as an option.

Call me a stick-in-the-mud, but I'd like to see BMW always offer a traditional black basic flat twin. It's a tradition that goes back to, what... 1923?
