2016 BMW R1200RS Review video
Here's a video review of the 2016 BMW R1200RS by RevZilla, that Alan Chinn sent me. Thought a few others might enjoy if you haven't already seen it. Certainly a bike that I think has a lot going for it.
I prefer it in the blue and white more than the review bikes grey, but to each there own and I'd certainly except a grey one as a gift. ;-))).

It is a nice bike. I tried one on at one of the motorcycle shows and the riding position was a bit too aggressive for an old guy like me. And you have to add bags. Funny that they went away from the tele lever front end too.

I have the same issue with riding position. Too much wear-n-tear on the body for it to be comfortable crouched over for very long anymore.
Read the reason they've gone away from the Telelever a while ago, but it has escaped from that sieve I use for a brain. :-/ IIRC, some of it was due to cost and weight.
One thing that the telever did was greatly reduce front-end dive under braking and rise under acceleration. This is now also dealt with via BMW's Dynamic ESA, so that may be part of it.
