Like the colour and graphics
The color reminds me of my 1st BMW...a 1987 R100GS ! 60hp,no brakes,no Tele - but already Paralever and carbs.On paper nothing to write home about but on backroads often faster and more fun than the japanese 4 cylinders we rode back then !
Do you still put the 17" wheels on and do you paint them yellow,bronze or black ? Enjoy your new bike

17” wheels are away being painted Ral1023. Should be ready in 2-3 weeks.

That will be nice...Hopefully you have a few more sunny days to try out your new wife when she gets her high heels...
I'm surprised you did no go for the 20 mm taller sports suspension (only available in Rallye-white while with the 1200 only available in Rallye blue) since you'll loose 10 mm on the front do to the 17" wheel...

Bumble Bee 1250. Nice work.
Ffs good to see the pics.
I’ll be dragged to see it later this week and listen to him drone on about his alloys
We actually had a trip out in September where he was banned to talk about the colours
Health to have homer

Those gold wheels are yummy 
‘Those gold wheels are yummy’ - he hates them!
Still don’t u derstand why BMW stick with the silver radiator cowls on all of their models... Especially on the 40th anniversary editions... Why not just change them to black as standard, they look cheap and plastic in silver IMHO...
Agreed. The same goes for the cylinder covers. Why paint them grey when the rest of the engine is black.
Doesn't anyone do after market ones ?

It successfully breaks the colours up, complimenting the grey / silver of the brake carriers, the front fork clamps, the top yoke and bar clamps and, in this case, the rear pillion hangers and pannier rail. It also gives bods something else to paint black, which enhances their sense of ownership and makes a statement, apparently.

They are the original part, skinned in carbon fibre - real carbon, not vinyl.
Sent them away and took around two weeks, approx £120 per side.
