Are you looking for the best adventure touring motorcycle on the market? BMW Motorrad has officially opened a new chapter in the history of the legendary GS series. Whether you are interested in the new BMW R 1200 GS or the rugged new BMW R 1200 GS Adventure, these bikes are designed to be the epitome of the large-capacity grand touring enduro.

BMW R 1200 GS Performance and DOHC Boxer Engine

The heart of the new BMW GS models is the upgraded flat-twin power unit. Inspired by the BMW HP2 Sport, the new DOHC engine has been optimized for touring. If you want more power and extra torque, this is the bike for you.

  • Maximum Output: 110 hp (81 kW)
  • Engine Speed: 8,500 RPM
  • Torque: 88 lb-ft (120 Nm)
  • Engine Type: 1,170-cc Boxer Engine

The new DOHC cylinder heads feature two overhead, chain-driven camshafts per cylinder. This BMW motorcycle technology ensures a broader range of engine speed, making the R 1200 GS for sale more dynamic and powerful than ever before. [Click here to find a BMW Motorrad dealer near you].

Key Features of the 2010 BMW R 1200 GS Adventure

When it comes to off-road riding and long-distance touring, the R 1200 GS Adventure sets the standard. Here are some of the technical upgrades you will find:

  • New DOHC Technology: Faster, free-revving engine performance.
  • Electronically Controlled Exhaust: Features an electric motor-controlled exhaust flap for that throaty boxer sound.
  • Revised Six-Speed Gearbox: Optimized shift kinematics for precise gearshifts.
  • Maintenance-Free Drive Shaft: Perfect for long tours where reliability is key.

Enduro ESA: Electronic Suspension Adjustment

One of the most popular BMW motorcycle accessories is the Enduro ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment). Available as an optional extra straight from the factory, Enduro ESA allows the rider to adjust the suspension by simply pressing a button. Whether you are riding on-road or off-road, the BMW R 1200 GS suspension can be tailored to your specific needs.

Safety and Braking: BMW Integral ABS

Safety is a top priority for BMW Motorrad. The new models feature high-performance brakes equipped with the optional BMW Motorrad Integral ABS. This provides maximum safety in critical situations, whether you are on a winding mountain road or a gravel path.

Why Choose the New BMW R 1200 GS?

If you are a fan of adventure motorcycles, the BMW GS name is synonymous with quality. With the new 2010 BMW R 1200 GS, you get:

  1. Supreme Power: 110 HP for all riding conditions.
  2. Advanced Ergonomics: Adjustable handlebars for sitting or standing.
  3. Customization: A wide range of optional extras including LED headlights and aluminum cylinder head covers.

Conclusion

The new BMW R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure are the perfect choice for riders who demand the best in riding dynamics and touring comfort. Visit your local BMW Motorrad showroom today to experience the power of the Boxer engine for yourself!
