looking to buy R1200RT 2010 need some advice please

Post by Yamato 41 »

Hi All, I am considering purchasing a BMW R1200 RT, the seller has described it as a first owner 2010 with 60k kilometers full history, My understanding is that there was a switch to twin cam heads and a few other updates from 2010 on, is there an easy visual check I can do when I go to look at it to confirm it is a 2010 version and not a 2009 registered late as a 2010 bike ? Also is there anything else I should pay special attention to regarding servicing at this mileage or known faults/problems for this model ?

thanks in advance for any advice.
