Personally I still prefer my R1100S with the Staintune exhaust that Kylie Minogue delivered personally and said that she would have to check by riding on my pillion.

Yeh! I wish!!

So when is this 'Old enough to know better' supposed to kick in?

When I oredered my Black 1200 I tried very hard to get them to sdee if they could get me some black wheels, or even swap with any other owners, if they wanted silver instead.
I cant imagine why they wont do the option, as black is by far the best coloured wheel on teh black bike.
Im getting the wheels coated this winter and the Rocker covers painted I think, plusd the tail section.
If you take a look on the BOS exhaust site, theres a really nice one on there with black carbon pipes too.

Nah, I don't like the look of that bike, although as you said Ron the black screen is what I am looking for.

Gotto agree with Andrew.... looks like an unfinished paintjob. Splits the bike in two. All red would be nice though.

...when I first saw this bike I thought : G ' S U S T H A T'S C O O L...
...but after a second and a third time I also thought something is wrong...
...the screen looks good though (much darker than mine...)

...what I absolutely don't like are these cut out belly pan holes without anything in it...
...it is the AC-Schnitzer belly pan, and when you cut out the front it looks much better with small-mesh behind the holes...

...like this...

...BTW : they painted the inside of the belly pan also red ; I left it black and IMO with a black inside it looks better...

...(my) conclusion on the 'extreme' one : NO...
Have a nice day !

Lose the bellypan on the red'un. I still reckon a bellypan makes the 12 looks too heavy set and 'sportsbike' generic. As standard (especially in yellow or black with black wheels) it looks lean, purposeful and light on its feet. A bellypan imho looks cliched.
