New 2010 BMW R 1200 RT

With the praised 1,170-cc boxer engine of the former model offering superior power under any condition, the new R 1200 RT provides even more. First, the new engine offers an increase in maximum torque from 85 - 88 lb-ft at an unchanged 6,000 RPM for greater acceleration. Second, the range of useful engine speed has been increased by 500 rpm to a maximum 8,500 rpm. The third improvement is an increase in torque at low and medium engine speeds. Maximum engine output is the same as the prior model at 110 HP but occurs now at 7,750 RPM vs. 7,500 RPM previously.
