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?

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.

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

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.
