BMW  are on their home turf, and had therefore the most anticipated press conference of the Intermot motorcycle exhibition. We all knew BMW had a lot of new stuff, so there was a lot of interest in their press conference.
I managed to arrive early and score a good place to enjoy the show, since that was what it was. The main part of the BMW dog & pony show was the launch of the water-cooled R1200GS motorcycle. To do that, they put up a real show, with live music and "stunts" performed on the new motorcycle.
Here's a video of what I saw. I apologize in advance for a) some of the sound, since the music at times was sooo loud it deformed the sound on the video and b) a bit shaky at times, since I did not know where things were going to happen .. you'll see in the video.
First, let's look at some photos, several close-ups of the beast (all photos can be clicked to see a bigger version). Several of the photos, I have darkened around the bike, so you get to see only the motorcycle itself. Then you get to see the video.
Looks like Touratech are looking at where they are going to put their gear....
