I hear the dealers got a memo that all boxers get the updated 1250 engine for next year !
No word about specs yet as the bikes will be shown at the cologne and Milano shows in oct/nov.
I kind of hoped for a 1300 or even 1400 cc but oh well the 1170cc R1200GS with VVT from Alphatechnik had a respectable 145 hp and a very healthy torque curve... So S1000XR power might still be a dream but at least TORQUE will be at KTM levels so my uneducated guess...
No word about a XR version of the GS with 17 inch wheels but rumor about resurrection of a S-Boxer to inject some excitement and to attract younger folks as a welcome surprise...
Hope while they were at it the R/RS get better looking instruments with a analog tach as the RT will get a bigger TFT with integrated GPS screen like some earlier shots suggested.
If GS and GS-ADV will get any changes besides the 1250 engine remains to be seen...
As also if the new engines will still sound like real boxers or are already Euro-5 quiet...
