BMW R1200R. Maybe.

Some photos of what might be the new BMW R1200R started to appear in various forums over the internet.
These (blurry) photos look way more realistic than the many photoshopped fakes that every once a while appeared online in these last months. The R1200R is one of the last new models to be unveiled by BMW.
It looks like the oil radiators have been removed from the the sides of the fuel tank (bad: during winter the hot air produced by the radiators resulted useful for “frosted” hands…), lower headlight estetically permits the use of a standard-sized front mudguard. Smaller cockpit and lighter rear part.
It slightly resembles Moto Guzzi’s Breva 750… but we have to see some better photos, or the final thing (I hope soon) to judge.

I mirrored some photos here.

Update: the R1200R (slightly Photoshopped) on the cover of “Motociclismo”, italian magazine.

Second Update: press photos links on this newer post.

Comments and Insults:

I saw flying saucer shootings in higher quality... :-/

;-)

hahahahaha

I find the pictures very reliable. All features can be seen from different angles. That would be very hard to do with photo manipulation! The new engine and shaft drive(from GS and others) are imposed as well. The radiators (and maybe the Telelever) may be a quickly assembled version just for the prototype, while awaiting the final design/make.

THANKS

Who the fuck wants a BMW; only old fat-assed geriatrics drive those Beamers. Go for it and find something sensible like Triumph Bonneville. Those where the bikes our fathers rode and they still make the difference unless.. you like to sit nice warm and cosey and are afraid of the weather.
I'm sorry but reading your comments I can only imagine that you are well-fed fifty plus would be rocker with the wrong leather jacket and dito pants.
Come on Jonny, be a guy and go for it, stand up in the crowd, make a difference and ...Jonny be Goode !!!
