The 1200 GS takes advantage of its 2010 vintage to boost its flat-twin. A more adventurous version but mechanically identical, the Adventure benefits at the same time from the new Boxer 1200. Not really new in fact, but a good evolution with the transfusion of elements from the HP2 Sport.

Each cylinder head now contains two overhead camshafts. The diameter of the intake ducts and valve heads has been increased, the pistons and combustion chambers redesigned, an exhaust valve has been added…. And the result will give more vigor to the Bavarian flat. It can take 500 rpm more, or 8,500 revolutions. The power progresses to 110 horses (+ 5%) and the couple gains a good half mkg.

Disappeared for a time, the adjustment system by reversing the handlebars reappears. What to guide his choice towards the road or track type for his driving position. In the (supplied) options catalog, you can now equip yourself with new additional LED headlights. A special ‘rotten fuel’ map is available as a free option if you plan to venture into remote areas where the gasoline is not of the same quality as here. With its extra watts, the R 1200 GS Adventure takes a little lead over the Guzzi Stelvio NTX.
