I'm sad to say I gone and done it.
As much as I loved my 11S I fell for the new machine and I'm collecting it in the morning.. R12S in Black, Ohlins + 190 rim & Heated grips, oh and the panniers..
so I'm a happy camper at the moment...

your quite right, I should have got the dealer to do it, as I intended, but the bill was going up rapidly so I left it.. for now
but it will be done, might get it sprayed the same time as a belly pan..

I thought there was no pannier option on the R1200s. Did I get it wrong?

(near) trivial question:
I used to have an R1100S... until I totaled it about 5 years ago. I'm about to buy a replacement and get back into riding but am concerned about sat height as I'm fairly short (inseam 30") and would like to ba able to (at least almost ) flat foot at stops.
Does your R12S sit taller than your old R11S? I've been told that the seat is shaped narrowly at the front to ease height concerns.
