Well, I got a call from the dealer today, it arrived! I was able to go down and take one quick picture before prep.

I should be able to pick it up tomorrow afternoon I will take my camera and get some better and more numerous pictures.

Oh Yes! Very Sweet! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

 

[Archon]

Thanks, I dare say that tomorrow will be a very long day at work.

Thanks, I dare say that tomorrow will be a very long day at work.

I shouldn't say this but, aren't you feeling kind of sick? :dizzy:

If the weather is nice tomorrow, you should feel sick enough to call out at work, healthy enough to go out and ride your NEW ANNIVERSARY EDITION R

Just saying

 

[drDave]

Very cool. Pictures please.

More pictures

I had an enjoyable ride home, about 3 times as long as normal

This is my first BMW motorcycle and I really enjoy it. The torque is nice and the bike is agile but still comfortable.

I did find a 2.5" blemish in the paint on the left side of the tank, looks like something was rubbing during shipping. Hopefully it isn't through the clear coat and can be buffed out. Other than that, perfect! Very happy with the bike!

Waiting on the side panniers and the tall (touring?) windscreen.

Had a bit of time to take a few pictures.

I think all the bikes should of got the 90th Edition badge that are sold this year, after all what's the difference between one model and the next when you've bought it in the 90th year..IMO.

Off to the ExCel tomorrow, first trip out with my wife on the back. Fully loaded with panniers just in case I spot a bargain at the show. Hopefully plenty of photo opportunities, but maybe not of my bike.

Special R

There's been the odd teasing glimpse of some sort of final edition street rod airhead boxer supposedly released as the final production of all. It's generally known of throughout bmw dealerships and it was at cologne I believe so it may be at excel.

Picked up my R1200 R this weekend too....
Already love the bike and looking forward to riding it. I almost bought the 2012 model last year but ended up getting the Anniversary model this year.

I'm so jealous, mine is being delivered to the dealer today so I'll have to wait a couple of days while they prepare it.

Nice pics, congratulations and enjoy the ride

You should go to the dealer and watch... stare over their shoulder until they are done and you can take it home ... my dealer let me be there for the great 'revealing' and I got to be the first one to start her and sit on her

I have just shy of 300 miles on it now. It is one of the most comfortable bikes I have ridden. I really wasn't expecting it to be as nimble as it is as well.

I am waiting on the tall windscreen to come in along with the panniers. Looking forward to seeing how it handles with them on.

My only regret isn't buying one years ago! Probably no surprise to those in here, but I think it is the best all around bike I have ridden. Reminds me of my Honda V65 Magna in a lot of ways, but better.

I agree, seems only right.

I went to the dealer at evening but the bike arrived late afternoon and was still in the crate. I was only able to peep her and take some spy shots, tomorrow I will ride her home.

so, what does this bike cost? how much more for the special edition?
are they all the same as far as "extras"?
just curious
