I'm waiting for the pictures of the GS Adventure version.... 
Eh?
What's that bit that looks like a white backwards 7, apparently linking the fork sliders to the front of the engine, top & bottom?

It's a device for new 1200 (1250?) owners to stop them doing complicated things like going around corners

He's right this pic has been doing the rounds since Hitler was a boy
Looks like a forward 7 to me
A mock engine bar intended to look like the bars on a current or previous model, disguise if you will to draw the eye away from the changes to the new model, that the swingarm and exhaust have swapped sides, the exhaust is now under the cylinder with the inlet above and the shrouds in the tank are conceal a radiator each are more obvious signs of change that BMW have not tried to disguise, a deliberately leaked pic anyone
The metal '7' brace is a bracket to monitor front fork/suspension travel.

Doh!
You know what, it looks like a forwards 7 to me too (now). I used to be an accountant.....but the fact that I wasn't very good with numbers kind of held me back.....doh!

if the exhaust has changed sides does this mean 12.5 riders have to mount from the right?
Never!....I've been doing it from the left for years so I'm not going to change now!...
....actually that attitude might make me more suited to a 1150 not a 1250!

MCN had a couple of "spy" pictures of the 1250GS being ridden by a test rider and you could see all of the "new secret stuff". Exhaust and swing arm swop sides, water cooled badge on the rocker boxes, two radiators in the side panels, exhausts exiting from the bottom of the cylinders instead of the front and radial calipers on the front brakes. They also said that BMW had stated that there would be no increase of either speed or BHP.
