Beyond the announcement there would be an anniversary edition bike news has been slow to trickle out. As pointed out it will be a camhead not what we call an airhead. In a recent press release the anniversary bikes were referred to as a "air cooled" boxer which may have caused some confusion to some. Yes, anniversary bikes. The other tease in the release was that three versions will be released. No details were included.
I have also ordered the 2013 RT 90th edition. it is 'Sapphire Black' w/ some gold elements & a 90th yr badge.
Supposedly the first units are being built now for distribution in Feb, although I was told ~60 days for mine.
Other than RT, they will be doing a GS & an R version of the bike. Note sure of quantities of each being produced.
Any word on prices?
Prices were same as the standard RT, $17350 as the base. There is an additional $595 cost for the model 90, but I seem to recall when researching online that all the RT bikes had the same $595 price somewhere added on for the color scheme.
The anniversary airhead you are referring to is the production version of the Lo Rider cafe style bike. I am looking forward to it. It will also have the present generation of the boxer engine not the new WC version.
At this point, there will be four 90 year anniversary models. There is no special anniversary equipment or options, but the paint scheme will be unique.
- R1200GS Adventure in Sapphire Black Metallic, black engine, black anodized Paralever, brake calipers and fork stanchions in gold, seat in Luxor Olive Gray/Seta Black
- K1300S Alpine White/Sapphire Black/Racing Red, tinted windshield, ESAII, ASC, RDC, HP shift assist, HP footpegs, Akrapovic exhaust, heated grips, on-board computer
- R1200R paint schem similar to Adventure and RT in black with gold calipers and fork stanchions
- R1200RT as described above
Prices have been leaked for Germany as 15,950 Euro for the Adventure, 18,500 Euro for the K1300S, 17,720 for the RT and 12,850 for the R
I have pictures of all, but copyrights prevent me from posting these, sorry.
So was this the one with the teaser picture in the MOA magazine?
I'm waiting to see what it will really be before I make the decision to get this one or the new F800GT. It's too cold to ride for a while so BMW has some time...
