Hi zend,

I know it is an old thread... anyway:
Did you get your ASC in the meantime?

Dark White is the name of the model, not the color. Because everything is blacked and greyed out except the white parts.
The color (Farbschluessel) of the R1200R Dark White model is called Light White Uni.

PaulLP,

The sport screen seemed to direct to wind directly
to the bottom of my helmet.
Not only was there buffeting, but also the wind noise was strong.

Bike: R1200R, stock seat and the small BMW sport windscreen, BMW sidecase luggage. The Bike drove just great, no problems during the trip. It consum...
