It would be nice to see them make the R1200GS or S1000RR here, but they probably won't be producing their flagship bikes in LOS (a la Ducati- they're now making the 899 Panigale locally and selling it for 250K less than the import version, but the 1199 version is still made in Italy and likely will remain so).
