BMW R1200RT gets twin cam motor for 2010




The BMW R1200RT is getting a new double overhead camshaft engine in common with the new BMW R1200GS with more power and a better fairing for even better comfort.
The R1200RT is one of the best tourers on sale and the new 110bhp engine which will boost torque and allows a higher rev range along with increased wind and weather protection will only improve this.

The new engine has 110bhp with 88ft lb of torque and now revs to 7750rpm.
The BMW R1200RT will go up against Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 and the Triumph Sprint ST 1050.

Other changes to the RT include the second generation updated Electronic Suspension Adjustment system (ESA II), restyled fairing with improved protection, a new dash and an audio system that can be controlled through a handlebar-mounted controller.

The audio system will play MP3, iPod or USB sticks and it also has a radio.
