Proven to improve to maintain the line to make visible progress: These challenges are BMW, when the Roadster is converted to two overhead camshafts. The basic orientation as a universal talent with a tour of sporting skills, the R 1200 R certainly maintained.
Against the Revolution in Bologna take the previously promulgated by BMW's plans quite unspectacular. The R 1200 GS and RT will also get the roadster version of the Boxer series, the more powerful engine with two overhead camshafts per cylinder. The terrain and the tour's sister have been revised for the past year almost exclusively at this point, except for delicate optical retouching they are indistinguishable from the earlier models with hc-cylinder head.
Whether the R 1200 R will be drawn in the coming model year, dynamic, or whether it remains true to its classic line, it may be speculated. A slight increase in peak power and significantly more torque are set facts, but BMW is involved with its Roadster in a similar dilemma as Mercedes with the SL: How can we the stylistic ancestor in any successor to be made public without disclosing the technical development completely invisible ? And with all conservative inclinations: BMW, it sure would do well to inspire younger customers with a taste for something more progressive - as it has succeeded with the S 1000 RR.
