2010 BMW R1200RT
In 1995, BMW produced its first air- and oil-cooled (or "oilhead") RT model, the R1100RT. In 2002, BMW launched the R1150RT, providing the same basic platform with increased engine capacity and horsepower. In 2005, BMW introduced the R1200RT.The design of this model was completely different from the R1150RT with a 15% boost in power, 20 kg (44 lb) weight saving, optional electronic suspension adjustment (ESA) and on-board computer.
In November 2009, BMW announced some revisions to the R1200RT for the 2010 model year. The new model had the same horsepower, but more torque at 88 lbf•ft (119 N•m), a higher engine speed of 8,500 rpm, and double overhead camshafts that were first used on the BMW HP2 Sport. There were some relatively minor styling changes and revisions to the screen and cockpit designs, switch gear (including conventional indicators), and location of the hydraulic fluid reservoirs.
