2010 BMW R1200GS Adventure: you guessed it, DOHC - Hell For Leather
Woodcliff Lake, NJ - November 5, 2009...No wonder it's called unstoppable! The BMW G 1200 GS Adventure looks as if it invented the term - and it certainly has defined it in the motorcycle world. This is partly due to the range of features which have become almost as legendary as the bike itself. On this machine you can handle potholes with 20 mm more clearance than on the R 1200 GS. Add to that excellent ergonomics, optimum gearing for every terrain, and a chassis which - whether fully loaded or not - will allow you to thrill your passenger as well as surprise anyone ahead of you.
With the introduction of the 2010 BMW R 1200 GS Adventure, BMW Motorrad is adding yet another chapter to the epic adventure of its highly successful GS models which, for almost three decades, have been the epitome of the large-capacity grand touring enduro.
Building upon the former generation of the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure, which already offered supreme power and performance as well as a broad range of practical riding qualities for long tours combined with supreme pleasure on winding country and mountain roads, BMW Motorrad is now enhancing this standard to an even higher level. A more powerful engine with extra torque results in even greater driving dynamics both onroad and offroad.
The main features of the 2010 BMW R 1200 GS Adventure at a glance:
* New, even more dynamic engine now with two overhead camshafts per cylinder and valves in radial arrangement. * Options and accessories tailored to the model with BMW's usual high level of quality.
In its construction principle and fundamental layout, the new flat-twin engine is the same as the Double Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) engine on the BMW HP2 Sport. In its latest generation, the engine has been carefully updated and optimized for the R 1200 GS Adventure, tailored to the specific requirements of a grand touring enduro.
