Cant knock the colour scheme though , definite hark back to the R90S Smoke Orange. I bet many a member on here had a photo ripped from a mag of a Smoke Grey or Orange R90s on their bedroom wall.

Agreed .
It looks good but why is it £18k for the base bike ?
The Yamaha XSR 900 GP, another retro is £12k.

I can’t see where the money has gone . R12 nineT with fancy orange paint. Slap on £4k !!!

Yep, think they’ve gone somewhat bonkers with the pricing even if it does look pretty good

Hope it’s more comfortable than the previous models were
The website states it’s based on the R 12 nineT.
I thought perhaps it had upgraded suspension and a tuned motor but nothing mentioned .

Pretty incredulous that it’s only £50 cheaper than the 1300GSA, given the latters features and tech . Also amazing that you can add over £8k of extras to it !!

The world really has gone mad .
 
I've configured an R12 9T to the same spec as the new R12S and it comes to £18,250.

...and you still don't get the painted headlight cowling.

So I can see where the money has gone.

Popped into a dealer this afternoon, the R12S is bloody lovely. I loved my Urban (bar the suspension) and this is the natural progression. 8 months old, 200 miles..15k. It was parked next to an RT at £25k

I’m 60 next year 🤔…though sales matey chap said BMW were ending production
 
Imho they look absolutely fantastic, value or sum of parts I’m not so sure but at the right price they are a bike that looks amazing,
