I like it.
I didn't see the weight posted. Lighter? Heavier?
I was hoping for more than a gain of 15HP though.
Cruise control !!!!
Am I insane or are these of the old motors? The pics came in the new R12GS press package....

Yes you are, and yes they do look like the old motor pics. I have had trouble with my download file so can't comment further...on the pics at least.
:evil
I think those last pics are of the old motors. 1200, 1150 & 1100. :dunno
The new bike looks thinner.
