The vacuum cleaner is much too big.
Having the throttle bodies above the cylinder is about the only obvious advantage of the WC layout. They won't be so prone to getting knocked and now riders can bark their shins on the cylinders instead.
The two forward projections that presumably flank the radiators look horrible (just like any other water-cooled bike with off-road pretensions).
It may grow on me but the whole GS thing has gone too far now that nearly every bike out there is a GS or GS clone.

Cant see the difference between that and the old 1200 
..OK so it's got more power, and somethings moved from left/right/up/down/front/back (*delete as appropriate ) but overall I dont see a change

I kinda like that my 1150GSA only has 2 horsepower, is machined from solid billet steel and weighs like 4 million tonnes
...I dont think that I will be running forward..

My deposit stays, no sign of the mpg figure, it will be interesting to see how close they can get it to the F800 mpg.

After all this talk of a 1250 it turns out to be an R1200GS like before.
Looks like the rear subframe is now in two parts... As some one who wants to get his powder coated, would make it a lot easier to get off...
Overalls, I think it looks pretty good, also looks like the ground clearance is still pretty good, both under the engine and the cylinder heads.
How long before the GSA??

It will use H2O2 (heavy water or deuterium oxiode). They still have a stock pile after the V2 rockets failed to sell in big numbers so they've been waiting nearly 70 years to come up with an alternative use. It is slightly heavier than normal water at 1.11g/l but it will definitely enhance performance due it's superior wet qualities.
It will be sold at stealers in 5l bottles for loads of money and use of ordinary wet water will void the warranty.
A supplement to the handbook has already been prepared covering such issues as
how to check my water level?
how do I tell if my water is counterfeit?
what colour should my water be?
how often does my water need changing?
should I change to Hi Viz water when touring in France?
After market "spare heavy water carriers" are already in the design stage.
Pehaps we should also have a new section in the forum!
"water for beginners"
