When do you think the next facelift model will show its face? 2017?

What's your thoughts on what bmw will change? Just like they did with the original 1200? 5bhp increase here, design tweaks there? Is the GS ready for a facelift? Suggestions please!

I'll start..
Black engine and frame as standard, or that dark grey as on the TC.
Engine bhp increase.
Hopefully a more robust screen pin thingy design.

There are talks about the new R1200S having around 150bhp with the same LC engine, so I'd imagine there will be a slight power hike. And more tech, of course, so stuff like hill start assist, stop/ start (which I really hope they don't put on bikes, as I HATE that technology :rob), and maybe a few other bits & bobs, as well as a design facelift.

It doesn't need more power.

A little weight loss wouldn't go amiss though...
 
More weight , more complicated electronics, ever worsening build quality PLUS the inevitable price rise
 
We already know the 2016 model will have cornering ABS. 2017...? Potentially, Variable Valve Timing. I suspect they've already tested direct injection and that may make an appearance at some point.
 
A simple idea they could use on all the bikes.


BETTER BUILD QUALITY.

Nothing wrong with mine. Would like more road oriented wheel sizes as an option. For us track day goers.
