Why do people go to all the trouble to photoshop a bike by adding parts from all other kinds of bikes just to produce a fake? Really? What advantage is there in them doing that? Or what are they gaining?
Attention whoring.

The upcomming R1200R, will have better than a 50% chance of having the ST engine and the bike is not supposed to be radical looking. I am currently at San Jose BMW riding the new R1200S all over the Santa Cruz mountains, will have the new R1200S at Alices on Sunday.
I spent some quality time with BMW the other day............

I hope you're right about the ST engine and nothing too radical in the looks department. Bike really just needs minor mechanical upgrades.
late 06 or 07?

Makes good sense to keep it a traditional (plain) and simple roadster. Those photo"chops" suck!
Got a date!!

Just got an e-mail from Fa. HORNIG, the German accessory mfr. that states: "Additionally, there's the successor of the R1100/1150R the R1200R going to be presented on the Intermot in Cologne in September already. " Here's a link to their Website, in case you're not familiar with Hornig.
