The whole point is that you can replace most of the components with custom bits (including ones from specific 3rd party vendors, apparently) s- the bike was made so that it can be easily personalized. There are at least 4 different rear end configuration just from stock.
What happened to the stainless tank? Interesting, but I wouldn't get rid of my R1200R for it like I would for something like the K1300R. I guess I'm just not that "into" the retro boxer look. I imagine you'd get some attention riding around without the pillion seat, though, if that's your bag.
Interesting. I don't think it looks retro at all. I'm ambivalent about it. It's ok, but I like the looks of the R1200r better also.
Dang, I actually think its quite the looker. I can see it being beautiful with the right tail/exhaust combination. And some bar end mirrors, of course. Nice work, BMW.
I see that in a lot of press shots nowadays . Still, that bike is awesome. I'd take one in the blue from the current 1200r, please.
