I couldn't wait to see the new RT but after looking at these pics, I may hang onto my 05 for awhile. Maybe I will like it better when I can see it for real at the dealer.

I would agree. I'm not really in the market for an RT, but new bikes are fun to look at.

Good observation. You can see alot more of this motor. Which makes it a "motorcycle" to me. No more "spats" alongside the footpegs.
I think the protection of the lowers will be just as good as the current RT model.

That was my first thought, but there is a sort of lower fairing surrounding the cylinders, and the radiator shrouds extend pretty far out and down(I predict an accessory to divert heat to the rider). The press kit has one nearly head-on shot (P90137628-highRes.jpg) - very little of the riders leg is visible and that is probably inside the windstream.
By the time you add a couple options it will likely be in K1600 territory. I'll give it a couple years to see what breaks before I buy. I wonder if they have figured out the Bluetooth yet?
The Bluetooth on my '11 RT works fine.

Glad to hear it. I seem to read quite a few complaints from about the BMW sound quality and pairing issues using Bluetooth with non-BMW headsets, though the sound is good to excellent from a phone or MP3 player. Hopefully this has finally been resolved.
