I've been searching for any info or rumors on a new wethead 1200R. I haven't been able to find anything. Has anyone heard if they are going to continue the R with the new engine? Maybe a new RS-style...

There are a couple of good-sized dents in the screen on my wife's R1200R, and I actually have a dent in my R1200GS screen, even though that cooler is placed high...
