No centre stand, plus the addition of frame guards, they're obviously aiming this at the off-road folks. The price/ standard spec will be interesting, as I'd bet that most buyers would probably add normal tyres/ screen/ centrestand to their order, probably making this much more expensive than a TE.
it is a bit odd everything is in focus on the render / image and the tank R1200 is all fuzzy
Can't see the extra 50cc either...

I think the current model looks better
I agree
So funny, a bike that looks like it has come from outer space but will be ridden mainly by middle aged men, every new version of these bikes gets more laughable. Ridiculous styling.

I absolutely love it. Pity I only have just bought a triple black.

Same here ...wont stop me changing it though , thats just life! Always something better in the pipeline.

Looks like it's just styling though. It'll ride the same.

its going to have the dynamic traction control and hill hold

I always turn mine off and certainly don't need any hill start control- only for those with no skills.

What is dynamic traction control? And what makes it so special that it'll make a difference in day to day riding?
TRACTION CONTROL DTC.
The traction control DTC provides an essential contribution to the high riding dynamics and the exemplary riding safety. Specifically under changing operating conditions, on surfaces presenting less roadholding, and during friction tests, the traction control DTC provides invaluable assistance to the rider.
The BMS-X detects a spinning rear wheel by comparing the front and rear wheel speeds measured by the ABS sensors and analysing the data provided by the sensor box (inclination detector). In this case, the engine controller initiates a corresponding reduction to the drive torque by decreasing the ignition angle, intervening in the injection, and modifying the position of the throttle valve.
Unlike the previous BMW Motorrad ASC systems, the traction control DTC also uses complex sensor clusters to determine the vehicle's inclination and to integrate the findings in the regulation. The traction control DTC operates with settings that are individual to each of the different riding modes for the greatest possible safety over the whole range.
Although the traction control DTC provides invaluable support to the rider and therefore an enormous boost to acceleration safety, it cannot – like ABS – redefine to any degree the constraints posed by the laws of physics. Bad judgement or poor riding can still exceed these constraints, and, in extreme cases, the rider can fall off his machine. However, DTC or dynamic traction control helps the rider to expand the potential of dynamic riding and above all to use this with greater safety. For special requirements, e.g. on the racetrack, DTC (dynamic traction control) can nevertheless be deactivated separately.

It basically means you can't do wheelies so I turn it off for more fun.

Would love to see a tc system that lets you wheelie. The best one was on the s1000r but still there was control from the ecu holding you back. These systems will not allow a balanced wheelie.
