I am listening to Motorcyclist Radio's Dec 15th Podcast. He just interviewed Hans Blesse, VP of BMW North American;
He can have any bike he wants, and his hands down favorite bike is the R1200R classic!

An intelligent executive with impeccable taste? It's almost too good to be true. And why am I not surprised that even the American BMW execs are named Hans?

He is actually Canadian, though born in Germany, now works in New Jersey. Speaks German, French, English and Spanish of course.

Blesse sounds impressive. Thanks for the heads-up, Scott.
Now I have to find the episode about the K1600GT:

Whereas the R1200R is not only the nicest motorcycle BMW makes, or has ever made for that matter, this news should not surprise any of us.
