Good news is leaking from Bavaria. The next BMW GS in the final testing phase, and the successor of the best selling model of the company, the R1200GS, will be borne by the first twin-cylinder liquid-cooled Boxer ever!
Look closely and you will be adding radiators hidden beneath the sky to see - a clear indication that the new engine is water cooled. This is great news given the Boxer, is air-cooled BMW is a staple for nearly 90 years.
Liquid cooling provides faster warm-up time, reducing the critical post-implementation of the emissions, while reducing operating temperatures. This will help to stringent Euro 5 emissions standards scheduled to begin in 2015. Liquid cooling is also an increase in strength, so that together with a bump in the displacement of about 1250 cc, expect a knock on the power of the latest crop of contenders vying for the throne of adventure tour.
R1250GS engine is a completely new design, sharing no common parts with its predecessor. It is carried higher in the table, increasing the height above the ground. It will be interesting to see what affects handling.

It is also different in the new engine is the orientation of the cylinder heads. Now 90-degree turn, butterfly valves located above the combustion chamber and the exhaust leaves the cylinder instead of in front. We can predict the exhaust shields, when the first of aftermarket accessories that are offered.
Different chassis and the changes are not as remarkable as that observed in the engine compartment. The frame is steel and is similar to the one it replaces as Telelever front and rear suspension Paralever.
Front braking is improved with the use of radial-mount front brake calipers. ABS is standard, as evidenced by the wheel speed ring on the front wheel, which undoubtedly play a role in a new traction control system. We also expect an updated form of adaptation ESA Electronic Suspension BMW.
A new transmission sends power through a shaft boxer on the left now, so the outlet end is now on the right side of the bike. The rear tire appears wider, up from 150 mm to handle a larger payload. A lighthouse is still spread out, now with an LED light. These images show the large fuel tank has gone nowhere, or large saddlebags.
Life at the top was very good for BMW R1200GS line. As a global best-selling model BMWs, air cooled, horizontally opposed Boxer twin is loved by many of his peculiarities, and the world of cycling jack-of-all-trades attitude beloved fans.

Moreover, the success in part due to the fact that he has not really been something. Not anymore, with bikes like the Ducati Multistrada 1200, Yamaha Super Tenere and the following Triumph Tiger Explorer all who want to share - if not pigs - a piece of cake adventure tourism segment, BMW has responded.
BMW has not officially confirmed that the bike or pictures of them, but it is clear that the company has worked hard to strengthen its flagship model. It will be interesting to see how it compares with the SG we already know - and how the devotees, air cooled GS comprehensive response to changing their icons.
