Who's seen the new blue in person?

I'm not blown away by the color in internet pics but the dealer swears its the hottest color out there. I've yet to see one in two different dealerships. Is it really so different in person?

I have seen the 2012 blue, the local dealership has it as their demo bike, I am not sold on the color but that is personal preference, its IS baby blue!

I think it looks awesome and it does look different outside in the sun. That being said, it's more or less the Rizla blue.

I have seen it in person at the local dealership. On my browser, it does NOT look like the color in the photos on the BMW websites or the photos in the Cycle World review. It DOES look like the color of the one in the videos on the special HP section of the Intl BMW website. It is a baby blue or robin's egg blue. If you can't see one in person, check out the HP videos and I think it will be the closest. YMMV, not sure how different monitors/LED screens reproduce colors.

I think it's a sick color just not for me. As mentioned above its same as rizla blue...looks really good to me but I prefer black. Here is a pic I took when I was buying mine.

Not sure why it came out so mall ?

Still not a fan of the blue. I think some carbon would set it off though.

I saw all four colors sitting side by side and if I was going to buy a new bike it would be the blue! Pics don't do it justice IMO.

I went in to buy the red and white one bc I wasn't a fan of the blue (from what I had seen online) but one look at the blue in person and I bought it that day! Wouldn't consider any other color. Everyone has the Motorsports and black. Us is really unique.

I saw the blue in the showroom and at the motorcycle show. Only judging it by pictures alone does not do it justice. I think its an awesome color for the bike.
