Found this on Italian bike site and all models seem to be getting blue in 2012 but for some reason the R1200R is not mentioned at all. White is of course the faster and safest color but the Blue from 2010 sure looked nice.

Safest, maybe. Certainly not fastest.

hi all
nice colour that blue. can't see why they do everything in black and grey , i suppose they don't have to do a neon orange but a few colours like red ,blue , green , blue and white etc would not go a miss .

Often the European and USA colors differ. We may all get Silver and Black but the "bright" color can be different.s

Would love to see a stock "Ferrari" Yellow (not the school bus GS color), Kelly /or Forest Green R12R. Love the Red and Grays, but this would spice things up a bit.
