BMW Motorrad Updates the 'R1200' Range of Its Motorcycles Internationally

The two-wheeler department of the BMW Group has announced few updates for its top of the line 'R1200' range of motorcycles. The liquid-cooled boxer engines which are fitted in the R1200 range will now get a judder damper on the transmission output shaft and the transmission shaft bearing. There will also be an On Board Diagnostics indicator lamp (OBD) on the instrumentation panel, which is actually a requirement to meet Euro IV norms for two-wheelers. Also, all the motorcycles in the R1200 range will be fitted with sidelights as well.

The instrumentation panel has been revised and there have been additions to the list of optional accessories. For example, a customer can now get his/her motorcycle fitted with a crash bar on which cylinder protectors can be mounted. BMW Motorrad has also introduced a 'Triple-Black' Edition of the RS1200 GS. As the name suggests, the entire motorcycle is done up in various shades of black.
