that last one looks very Darth-like. Dave? OK, now SECOND to last.
The yellow striped one is much less annoying than the red. Those Germans & their wacky sense of humor - it always come out in design & paint jobs. If they could just hire an Italian designer with a germanic name......

I own a 2004 r1100s prep, i'll tell you what, if they offer a prep in the r1200s, the r1100s will be forsale. I'm liking that bike. ALOT!

As I posted on another website, "You couldn't spend enough money on a R1100S to get within 80% of what the R1200S is"
San Jose BMW routinely makes 92 to 94 RWHP R1100S's (R1150SJS) for a goodly sum.
The new R1200S will have appx 110 RWHP stock, be a lot lighter, much better tranny, much better brakes, much better handling and a better engine mgmt. system.

Already it begins. The "much" better everything.
I've been around all types, my favorite was this one guy that I would see at nearly each track day I've been to. Last I saw him he had a 2004 R1 because it was much better than his 2002 R1, which was much better than the 1999 R1 he had. To hear this guy go on about the new advances each time was really something.
Guess what, he was still passed (as was I) in most sessions by the same resident hotshoes on their 80's RZ350's and the like. I'd often get stuck behind him often, I swear he actually got slower with each bike.
I thought beemer types were different, and I still think by and large we are, but everywhere there are the "have the latest and greatest...just because" types. What can you do?
Well, if you think it makes you happy...goodforya

I like the standard yellow weve seen in some pixs.
That last one with the all black & a bit of red looks good, but I've been thinking the yellow is more visible & standard & cheaper. All around a good deal.
Seeing how good the S looks, I'm really looking forward to seeing the new R1200R. I'm hoping for sub 500lbs wet with ABS & sleek looks more to the S style than the ST.
One can hope.

For some reason these bikes remind me of a wasp.
