I've always preferred the look of spokes, I guess its just a personal thing. I don't believe they're any more hassle to clean and besides some 80% of 1200GS's come with alloys. I think it completes the bike.

All the extras come from Nippy Norman (accept no substitutes)

And I'm as pleased as punch with the bike.

Lovely bike, exactly the same as mine except I am getting the grey saddle, I too prefer it to the 1200 ADV as its smoother lines ,more roady, like the cylinder protectors & screen on the ADV though! Haven't seen one with the grey side panels before but they look a treat, thanks for showing the photos. Roll on cheque clearance!

I think the silver/black contrast looks great. I'm waiting for a tinted screen to arrive from NN http://www.nippynormans.com/prodinfo.asp?number=WDE-CD1200GS-XT&variation=&aitem=8&mitem=8 which should enhance it further. I think the new 1200GSA does look great but I prefer my personalised GS. Besides I look forward to tackling the Nurburgring next year so the lighter the better in my opinion.

How exactly does the beak extension fasten on?

Just two screws

It seemed expensive to me until I saw it fitted. IMO changes the look considerably; looks like it should have been fitted as standard

The Touratech beak cover is about £60. It will be interesting to see how BMW price their part for the Adv model. If its on a par with the price of the 1150 beak cover, then it should undercut the Touratech price by a fair margin.
