And here's anther one for you Wobble
She's a real 'beaut!
The bikes not too bad either!
That is SUCH a beautiful bike, but to have it I have to remove and replace the cameras, horn, topbox plate, givi remote locking, heated grip/battery charger lead, lowered pegs, raised bars AND find another 5 grand !
Might be possible to have mine resprayed??
Are the infill panels standard BMW or Puig or what??

Obviously I've been out of the loop for a while, I really enjoy my watercooled RT . However I've not heard of that iconic. So is it a limited edition with a slightly higher price tag? Is the colour scheme the same as 100 RT?
I know for me having owned three RT s the colour schemes are deadly boring usually from BMW.
My local dealer sold their allocation of two bikes, then got another one on Thursday from another dealer who wanted one of their stock. I went to see it on Friday and had to put a deposit down as soon as I saw it.
They are just getting their new test bike (a 'normal' RT) sorted for us to have for a day next week, if it is better for us than our GSA then we will finalise the Iconic purchase.
I saw one in the flesh yesterday at Cotswold BMW,s BBQ day . It looks even better close up,having only seen Yonko,s pics before.
A real quality paint scheme,makes the GS etc Iconics look a bit bland.

You're not getting it - The RS is painted to represent the R90S, the RT the R100RT and the GS's the R80GS Paris Dakar. They didn't just get 8Ball to design a random paint job.
Oh I get it perfectly and fully understand what they are attempting to replicate,but I think the RT is the only one that works.
The other Iconics fall short of the mark for me.
Yes, and I don't think the paint job, red seat and black engine bars and rack warrant an extra £2000 hit.
BMW will continue to charge extortionate prices if they know there are punters happy to be ripped off....
