Here are the specs I posted on another thread (Translated from French).
Someone on forumactif.com posted the following (in french)
http://r1150r.forumactif.com/ftopic2485-0-asc-60.htm
These seems to come from a spec sheet:
- 109 hp
- Weight: 198kg (436.5lbs)
- Optional ABS braking may be associated with Automatic Stability Control (ASC) inspired from cars, a system that prevents the rear wheel from spinning while accelerating on slippery surface. As with ABS, a computer compare the wheel speed and as needed shuts off the ignition complemented with shutting off the fuel injection.
- RDC = Tyre Pressure Control
- The on-board computer displays: speed, avg fuel consumption, range, outside temperature, risk of icing on the road, oil temperature, and gear.
Coming to a show room on Thursday 14th september 2006
The usual accessories.
Options:
Price in US$ converted from 1Euro @ $1.29
- Chromed muffler US$129
- Heated grips $265
- Gauge of tire pressure $271
- Onboard computer w/o oil temp. display $194
- Windscreen $220
- Clear lens turn signals $45
- Anti-theft alarm system $245
- Integral ABS $1394
- ASC (with ABS only) $374

Anyone notice the instruments are slightly mounted left from center? To make room for......?

I was thinking the same thing - maybe get a little more range out of the bike but I guess not.

No sir, I don't like it!!
Makes me think of a Honda CB, and that can't be good can it...
This 1200R looks like the 1150's baby brother, to be placed somewhere between the new 800's. That might be because it looks cheap
Ofcourse I'm not talking about performance, may very well be that it's more powerfull, But I for one don't care...
Just by looking at the future generation Roadsters I can say that I'm going to like my rockster more then ever before

Just a typical BMW quirk.............seems most things they do these days are off centre. Think about it.................if it isn't headlights, gas tank filler, body panels - it'll be the wheels next!
But I do like being off centre!

I think BMW Motorrad has always been a little off center (sorry, I have to spell like an American!). I like the new Roadster. It's not stunning, but it's about as much as I had hoped for. I'm test riding one as soon as my dealer has one.

i'm just glad bmw removed the beak. i never got the point of it. now, how much more are they going to increase the engine size before the heads need a support brace?

Maybe with the oil coolers off the tank it will be easier to service the battery and fuel filter.

If it is like the other 1200 series bikes, the battery should be under the seat.
I think the purpose of the beak was to break up the distance from the telever and the headlight. lower head light means no beak.
The more I look at the 1200R the more I like it.

For the love of the metal hammering gods and pavement sweeping demons, did they finally put self-cancelling signals on that thing? In a day when they can squeeze the last fraction of hosepower and torque from a motor, install a catalyst system to save the environment, and reduce the weight 50 pounds, you would think they could add a signal cancelling system that is as modern (like only 30 years modern!) as it's competitors machines. I'd tolerate the plastic fluid reservoirs for self-cancelling signals. I know BMW prides itself on being different, but let's get real. Okay, I feel better now.

You got a good point there. If the bloody thing can tell ya what the tYre pressure is on the fly, why not turn off the blinkers???
Tho i gotta say I was able to take a spin on a 1200C recently and on that bike, there was a nice "click" when you squeeze the cancel button. Is that the same on the 1150R's??? I really liked after about three signals and missed it like hell going back to the 1100!! Perfect, i;m sure not but still leaps and bounds above what I have to live with.

The beak was suposed to direct air to the oil coolers..........function over form.........thats what BMW is all about.

Errm not sure. Love the idea of reduced weight and a bit of extra power. However, I think Iwould have to invest in a fender extenda pretty smartish. More worryingly I had a steering damper on my old R1100R and it was one of the reasons I got rid of it. I hated the slow speed steering.

And what about the beak-less Rocksters? They don't need that air deflected to the oil coolers? I thin kit was for looks.

Never noticed that! Very 70's..does this mean we have to wear a wide tie and wear a loud check jacket to ride the Burnster....
