Just guessing that they originally wanted to position it between the naked R and the S price wise but then lowered base MSRP on the S $1400 without adjusting the price on the R or R-Sport.

Just curious.
Well, according to the web site comparison page, it's because the R Sport has a "Frame Mounted Half Fairing" and the K1200S doesn't.
Seriously, I don't know. I didn't think it was that way earlier this year when I was looking at them. I kept hitting my right shin on the engine case on the R Sport anyway.l

I took a test ride of the S earlier this year. It's an impressive bike.
I haven't been on the R or the R Sport yet. Maybe tomorrow at the Max open house....

Max BMW has them even cheaper.
For the price, gray is fine by me.

That was an OTD price
