Oh, it comes in grey; that's a shock! 

I did find it difficult to read the article seriously once I'd seen BMW's headline of "The new BMW R 1200 RT raises the bar yet again for dynamic touring bikes."

Oh oh, Cliché alert!...

Is it just me or does that look a very "angry" bike?

should not this type of posts be banned from this Forum  and its author subjected to a very hefty fine?

(Paul: don't get me wrong: just teasing)
to me the face looks like the unexpected result of cloning the 1400 GTR together with the 1300 FJR

It's a very odd looking thing. It seems that they've gone to such lengths to showing off that antique engine format, that they've been left with something that's (visually) very top and forward heavy.

This is not a good looking bike.

If you look carefully, you'll see some photos where the BMW riders have taken their teletubbie costumes off although (predictably) they have colour coordinated and matching BMW shirts on underneath. Normal service has been resumed!

I for one like it. The new GS flies - so this should be in the same vein. Shame i'll get hammered on the trade in..

I thought it looked quite nice, made me chuckle the amount of times they said "as an optional extra "
