New Bike

Is that officially confirmed?
BMW will never confirm of course otherwise nobody would buy the current model, so the answer is no. However, back in April this year I read an interview to a BMW guy (Hendrik Von Kuenheim) announcing for 2013: two big trail bikes (my guess is one road-oriented vs. another traditional one with 19-17 wheels like the current GS), one sports-tourer, one sportsbike (K6 maybe?) and another one unknown, maybe an electric model.
The interview was published in Motociclismo, an Italian bike magazine. Italy is a huge market for the GS, possibly the biggest.
I personally believe something will happen, but can't be confirmed until Köln or Milan shows later this year.

Enjoy the twincam in the meantime
I am proud to own the last BMW airhead boxer engine, maybe...

just received Email bike is built, due to leave factory this week
Just spoke to Jefferies, it's on it's way. Should be throwing me leg over it in 7 to 10 days
Wait
Try buying a Morgan sports car, some one I knew a few years ago had one
you put your name down after about a two year wait, then you can order it.
and a couple of years later you get it!!. He put his name down two years later they said you can now order your new car!, sorry he said, my wife had a baby six months ago and now I can't afford it!!. Had a ride in his old one, like a high speed series1 landrover with no seats definatly a macohists motor!.
So, things could be worse!!, I had a 3.5 months wait in 2001 so brought a very low milage german import as some of us did now at 87,000 going strong on original clutch and gear box.

well in answer to my own question, I placed my order on the 14th of May, The bike landed at the dealers today, and will be ready to be picked up late next week. which will be 5 weeks.
I thought as you got older time moved quicker, but the next 5 or 6 days will probably drag on like 5 or 6 weeks.
But at least it's at the dealers now, nothing can go wrong now ?, CAN IT ?
Well unless they stick an apprentice on it and he drops it and dents a few panels and breaks a mirrow and they have none in stock and have to order them.
Seriously though good luck and hope the weather brightens up so you can take it out and ride it.

What exactly did you order, as I understand it, they build to order, and so I imagine if it was allready in the country it was a cancelled order, or a demonstrator that hadn't actually been used for that purpose ??, maybe

Some dealers hold a bike or 2 in stock just to sell, it doesn't always have to come from Germany.
R1200GS
Same old story - I called a few dealers yesterday asking about availability on a 1200GS without ABS - partly 'cause I don't want it and partly 'cause it's a lot extra to pay - the only non-ABS bikes appear to be low-chassis & I don't want that either.
If anyone knows of a dealer with availability on a basic or basic + comfort pack, speak up now
The free luggage offer is tempting me !

according to BMW world newsletter today ALL MY13 bikes will now come with ABS as standard.

Make sure you do it before the middle of August when the R1200GS Twin Cam production ends
