Rad shrouds look messy now, apart from these I cannot see a difference.
 
So the rear subframe is black but the main frame attached to the engine is the dark grey of the rocker covers? Yuk.
 
I wonder if that is the chocolate fudge cake (or whatever) colour someone was on about, looks better than it sounds :)

Don't dislike it at all
 
Running Metzlers and not Anakees too

I love it . (Though, arguably, an engine upgrade is really needed to keep up with KTM)

Not as much change as I anticipated ...but it's better ! (imho)


The weakest point on the whole bike (imho) is the shameful ( made by Zanussi? ) "tin" type exhaust . It looks tawdry and sounds weak. ( The exhaust on my F800GS was a beautifully welded stainless "work of art" that sounded deep and muscular. Why do we get such a humble offering on the 1200?
I see that exhaust is unchanged. Shameful BMW.
 
I actually don't think the exhaust is too bad. It sounds ok for a standard can (in the greater scheme of things) I often wondered how it would look with some sort of a high satin black coating.
 
Team Duvet ...well done for getting the pics. I'd wanted to go to EICMA , but struggled to get the time off work.
 
Like the tank graphic, tho still think the tank side panels should colour match the beak & centre panel.
Unnecessary cost saving & makes the tank look cheap.
Anyone know or can make a graphic similar to suit a 2015 Alpine White ��
 
Not much of a change really a mild face-lift I wondered if they have digital/Bluetooth clocks.
