I was hoping for something a little more radical and innovative BMW, not a suzuki clone with a boxer engine

OK, my R12S has got all of those, I checked this morning before I got on it. It'll be interesting to see what improvements BMW claim for each of them, versus price.

WOW, that bike looks good, if they bring it out in plain yellow or red like the standard R1200S it will look awesome
