I just got my R1200R with a temporarily plate today too.
My is Black with Optional White Stripes and Safty Package ( ASC, Tire monitor, ABS, EAS & I also added Optional Factory Installed Alarm System). Pre order in Dec. 2007. Finally, It arrrived in Taichung 4/29.
Yesterday 5/5, My BMW Sales try to get my Red Plates & got rejected by the Motor Vehicle Registration Dept. Reason was "No Motor Bike I.D." So call Data dot.
My Sales also told me, They Claim the 2008 R1200R has no Data Dot on the bike( but supposedly has it on the bike when it is out of BMW factory???).
Now, I'm waiting for BMW AG to send the Data Dot from Australia to BMW Taipei??? ( that is what my sales told me)
Any way, I was so excited to get my bike with the red plate on it. Now I have to wait until next week.
Cheers
