If you could take delivery of a new R1200R today - what colour would you choose?

Straight Black
Classic Black with white tank stripe
Blue
Red
White
Other?

No question: Black, Yellow and lot's -o- carbon fiber and chrome.

AND definitely NOT: Invisablue, Desk Accessory Tan, Rotten Week-Old-Orange-Peel, Hit-Me Grey, or all those other colors that BMW thinks are so uber-vunderbar on their other models.

Assume the 90th. Anniversary Edition falls under Straight Black.

OMG, don't even suggest it; BMW will see it and the next seat will have little Hummel Figures printed on it. Somebody should lock BMW's Color and Design Group in a closet with their counterparts at Ducati until the wine and deodorant run out.

I love that blue met. on the 2012 model.

The first BMW I ever rode was an R60 back in 1970; it was black and I thought it was magnificent (still do).

Then, in Germany in 1973, I remember seeing a military courier wearing a black leather coat, black gauntlet gloves and tall black boots riding a wooded B-road on a highly glossy forest/olive green BMW; I thought that (entire picture) was magnificent too.

There's a black R1200R in my garage right now. It could be forest green, though. It might even be one day if I can ever afford the leather outfit.

Good idea!

I happen to like my grey R12R.

Good idea!

I was rethinking that statement "until the wine and deodorant run out," slapped the side of my hand and realized: 'Italians and Germans! Deodorant? What was I thinking?!'

So let's just lock them in a room until the wine runs out.

Same here, I got it because I liked it not because I had little choice. Better be careful the colour commandant doesn't see this post!

 

[drDave]

Well, Grey Guys; grey is kind of a battleshippy look; kind of tough. . .but negative Conspicuity to be sure. Hope you are going Hi Viz!
