Got to agree with Richard the black looks the best with black wheels, pity that the standard bike comes with silver one's.

Good point - dare say BMW hope to make some money out of the punters by selling black wheels?

Triumph did the same a few years back when they changed their wheel colours from black (=

) to silver (=

) the silver wheels looked pants. It was like the bikes had gained white socks. Let's face it boys and girls, black is the new black. Always has been...always will.

(yeah...and I friggin' hate me bike's white rear wheel)

Absolutely stunning bike, Ron

The all-black really works on that one!

So, I now have around 4 paint choices to choose from if I ever take the plunge into R1200s ownership.............

Equal first: Blue/White BCR & Red/Blue/White BCR colours

Second: The All-black model above

Third: Ron's toothpaste version.

Sorry - yellow doesn't do it for me.
