Cool. 

A quote on the R1200S brakes:

"Choosing an appropriate ABS anti-lock brake system, the engineers at
BMW Motorrad focused from the start on the sports-minded rider: The
system used on the R 1200 S is an upgraded two-channel ABS
configuration without an integral function or brake servo, excelling
through low weight and compact dimensions and thus adding just 1.5
kilos or 3.3 lb to the overall weight of the machine. "

I wonder if they made them any easier to bleed?  Somehow, I think not.
