So here's a 1200S customized and painted black by the MotoCorsa boys. Very nice job. Rizoma Mirrors, Termis and pipe wrap. Looks pretty sweet. Personally I'd of done it myself as that's half the fun but to each his own.

I am also not a fan of the pipe wrap. Always looked cheap, dirty & half ass to me. But again ... To each his own.

Unifying the colour scheme helps heaps. Much better! Take note Ducati.
I would have blacked out the headlight, oil cooler and radiator shrouds, or removed the radiator/cooler shrouds to get rid of the chunkiness of those components.
I think the wrap thickens things too much and doesn't look as clean. Maybe it's needed due to the heat. I dunno.
There is also that shroud under the tank, it looks like it covers the overflow tank. I'd ditch that and tidy up what's behind if possible.Maybe go waterless with that new coolant which lets you ditch the tank, or dye the tank black.
I s'pose I see some parts that could be removed and thrown in the parts box.

Pipe wrap is for bobbers  cheeky

Anyone besides me notice that the only pictures anyone takes of the new 1200 are of the right side of the bike?   Grin

That is beautiful but it looks like I'd be hurting after riding for 45 minutes. So I'll take one of those and one of the new Monsters please.

I doubt that bike would be too terribly uncomfortable.  My SC has a similar riding position, and I've been able to take it out for eight+ hour, 450 mile rides on several occasions.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

That bike is pure awesome...but my back hurts looking at it too. It'd still look good with some normal bars though.  waytogo
