Un uccellino mi disse Marzo 2006.

Ho cercato in rete ed č venuto fuori questo:

(Copio dalla parte non austroungarica)

"I was recently in ShangHai for the MotoGP and whilst there had the chance to have dinner with BMW's area manager for Asia... He's obviously German, a nice guy and as one of BMW's elite managers, very well informed when it comes to things like release dates etc... What he had to say regarding the 1200ADV as well as the HP2 was very interesting... "

"[I]The 1200 HP2 is apparently the first in a planned series of HP series BMW bikes... Bascially what BMW are trying to do is create an M-Series for their bike range... expensive, exclusive and you guessed it High Performance... It seems we can look forward to other models getting the HP treatment in the future... Interestingly he mentioned the BMW don't really want to sell the HP2, and other future HP series bikes, at least not in large quantities anyway... they want it to be expensive, desirable and exclusive... to this end dealers are not allowed to have more than 1 HP version of any given model (only 1 right now) in stock at any given time and only select dealers are allowed to apply to sell HP series bikes... strange... but I guess it makes sense if you look at BMW's M series cars and the way they are marketed.../I]"

"Secondly the R1200GS Adventure will be released in early 2006... Obviously Mr.BMW was reluctant to part with too many details, but he says he's received pictures of the 12ADV from BMW and he says he personally likes it a lot (big surprise)... It will have a similar lattice type frame to the 1200HP2 running through/into the body panels, a reworked more robust swing arm, a bloody huge +/-35 liter tank that does away with the clip on side panels of the 1200GS, a reworked engine of course, a re-worked rear rack/handle and interestingly the hard luggage will be aluminium and made by Touratech... Apparently BMW have realised that Touratech make shed loads of money doing aftermarket parts for BMW and it makes sense to get them to do OEM luggage for a BMW bike rather than compete with them..."

Pių un altro paio di siti che parlano di "1st Qtr 2006" che guarda caso č Marzo.

Altri conce dicono di non saperne nulla......
