R1200R?

Just been browsing around a bit and came across this - definitely reckon it's a mock-up but this is certainly the model of BM I've been waiting for. Always been a fan of the roadsters ever since my first R1100R back in '98.

Apparently there's due to be some gen on it in the comic tomorrow.

Yup - interesting thing is will BMW make it another 'quiet man' of the range a la R1100R & 1150R or something more lary like a Speed Triple/Tuono type machine?

My money's on the latter - but perhaps with the GS mill.

Yep, looks like an updated Rockster to me, with a Speed Triple'y rear end.

Hope they do it in the same subtle colours as the exising Rockster....... I really like the Lime and Orangey ones

Wonder if James will get one to replace his knackered beasty ???

That's the current plan ;)

(although would like to test the Boxercup and 1150GSA again before I decide).

Will NOT be getting a 1200, the engine just doesn't interest me.

Spring is in the air (well maybe..) cos Grommit's bike changing hormones seem to be kicking in again. 'Just browsing around a bit' he says. Right!

Welcome back James. On the mend?

Harry.

Still relaxing at home, and hopefully healing well. :)
