Oh Bo--ocks,
Pity its lost the Telelever but could my trusty 1200s be forced into retirement soon??? (Thats doubtfull actually given that its worth very little to anyone but me) First new BMW that I have had any interest in for a long while.

Me too. I think it's a shame, as it was key part to the BMW character for the last 15 years.

Very, very nice looking bike though. :)

I hope BMW do a better job of putting it together than the RT...

Looks v nice - and I agree with Peter in that it's the first remotely decent-looking BMW for a long, long time.

The trouble is they sold-out with the return to conventional indicator controls a while ago, and now they've whimped out with the front forks.

Wot!! No center stand.... and call it a tourer ??

Looks OK I suppose. Nice colour scheme on the show bike. Wonder what it will look like in DDP?

When will it be in the showrooms?

I "think" I can see stand mounts, so it's probably an extra :)
