In 2010, the German motorcycle maker released the BMW R1200GS Adventure. It was a standard model with more touring-oriented accessories, enhancing its overall touring capabilities.
The R1200GS Adventure (also known as the R1200GSA), alongside the standard R1200GS, was an adventure motorcycle created by BMW Motorrad in Berlin, Germany, in 2005 and manufactured until 2013.
Unlike the base model, the Adventure version packed a larger windscreen for better protection against elements, wire-spoke wheels for improved off-road capabilities, and a luggage rack that allowed the rider to take more stuff with him in his longer strolls.
The 2010 Adventure model packed standard features such as an adjustable windscreen, heated hand grips, hand guards, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, side-mounted aluminum panniers, a top box, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.
For suspension, the motorcycle packed a 41 mm adjustable Telelever system on the front that offered 210 mm of travel and a single-sided swingarm with an adjustable BMW Motorrad Paralever system on the rear that provided 220 mm of travel.
The 2010 Adventure model, like the standard version, received several modifications, like a revised cylinder head with a double overhead camshaft (DOHC), an increased redline limit to 8,500 rpm, an increased power output to 110 hp, and an exhaust flap for a different sound.
As for power, the 2010 BMW R1200GS Adventure had its heartbeat set by a 1,170cc four-stroke air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine that boasted 110 hp at 7,500 rpm and 121 Nm (89 lb-ft) torque at 5,500 rpm.
