Have to say, not a huge fan of the GS's looks. . .

 

[drDave]

The 1200 looks much better. . ..

 

[drDave]

And BMW, in its infinite wisdom, continues to produce colors that make you want to tear your skin off and roll around in salt. . .

Another shot of the 1200 at the show. . .

A slightly older model. . .

OK. Not exactly on a BMW, but an eye-catching bike graphic. . .

 

[drDave]

Here's our BMW bike tester close up. . .gotta love telephoto lenses. . .

 

[drDave]

Odd BMW custom.

 

[drDave]

The K looked nice. . but you lean forward on it.

THANKS Doc. Great job!!! You R the MAN !!! The light grey color looks like creamy Haagen-dazs plain vanilla ice cream. Chrome cylinder covers, very nice touch, but they left the brushed-finish exhaust on it. Curious.
I like the new F800 GT fairing. Sorry, all out of salt. How about some iodine?
Where did you find the GS-tester gentleman? Telephoto lens indeed!
Thanks again for some wonderful shots.

London bike show coming up soon at the ExCel centre. I hope BMW have plenty of toys to try out. :clap:

Tattoo dude just showed up and sat on the bike while I was beginning to take pictures. I got farther away and zoomed in. Maybe he's BMW's new image consultant. . .

Hey there is my bike! I got to ride it again yesterday.. She is coming home to me next week (they will deliver her since the weather just won't work with me to bring her home the 160 miles).

Going to the show in Indianapolis this coming weekend. Thanks for the pics doc!

I'm sexy and I know it

It's a cool show. There was one gizmo I was thinking of buying; a reflective rim and LED light combination that lights up your wheels with a glowing green circle Company called Lunasee, Lunasee | Active Side Lighting I spoke with the owner and he is willing to work on a custom bracket for the R1200r's Apparently, you can just use the powelet socket to power the whole thing.

Looking forward to seeing your pics as well, Atractaspis. You're a fantastic photographer.

Did you miss the customized sidecar on the red carpet?

 

[drDave]

Sup. .. didn't see a BMW with a sidecar. I'm thinking that a sidecar is one of the buzzkill attachments you can put on a motorcycle.

Nice pics, thanks for sharing. The GS design is more functional than looks. Our R's look good and go well at the same time. I like the GT bike and colour although only to look at. The R is better.

I'm sure the GS is a fantastic bike; engineered to the max. But it's kind of a Bill Gates Bike. Proven track record, brilliant engineering, still around after many years and continuing to develop. . .but I wouldn't want to be seen at the same party, and I'm not sure I'd even want to sit across the table and watch him eat.
