My R1200S

Bought this back in late October from a Forum member after having sold my R1100S and have spent the last couple of months sorting it out . Just need some sunshine and dry salt free roads to test it out now.....

Sunshine and salt free roads abound in Sussex today - been out for a lovely ride. Guy at the local BMW dealer was even licking up a brand new R1200RS

Great looking machine. Love these with the belly pan on them.

The colour-scheme looks really good, but I'm in two minds over the bellypan. The 1200s looks naturally - "long" (good) and a belly pan (unless it's the HP2s-shaped version) gives it a kind of "dumpy" look.

I'm sure you'll be keen to stretch its legs in the spring - when the weather improves!

This was the closest I found to a HP2 style one without sending lots of money - it extends right to the back wheel and after some fettling fitted perfectly with the decat Akrapovic headers

Looks really good. Some nice bits and bobs too.

That looks very nice indeed, very envious. I love the looks of the R12s, even better than the modern incarnation in my humble opinion.
I do agree with Al though, the belly pan is nice but could look better/ less `dumpy` perhaps with some subtle graphics ( emphasis on the word subtle).
Very nice.....

Just wondered, do you carry the bike or ride it.....just looking at the tyres,

cheers

I've got a set of BMW Motorrad graphics and a set of R1200S one's but haven't got round to to putting them on yet , if indeed I do put them on . Will have a test fit of them and then decide

.

And yes - its a brand new set of tyres on and its not been ridden since fitting them

Looks cool Nicholson. What brand are the carbon rocker cover protectors?

Silver and black looks great!
Those rocker guards look nice.
Sorry, but I don't like the belly pan either.
Where did the headlight protector come from?

Cheers

Thanks John,

They look tidy. Does the weave match the hugger?
