First Ride: 2005 BMW R1200GS Motorcycle
|
With all the rumpa-rumpa of the much-adored R1150 Oilhead engine, the new boxer powerplant on the GS is revitalized with new heads, more displacement, a higher compression ratio and, crucially, much more power. A counterbalanced shaft churns away inside (just beneath the crankshaft) to quell the opposed-twin's inherent rocking-couple vibration. Overall, the engine is lighter and more fuel efficient as it whacks out a credible 100 horsepower. View Related Article
