Review

⌄

The 2016 BMW R 1200 GS Triple Black offers a distinctive aesthetic within the GS lineup. It shares the same dependable 1170cc boxer engine, delivering 125 Nm of torque at 6500 rpm. This engine provides ample power for both on-road touring and light off-road adventures. The smooth-shifting six-speed gearbox ensures a comfortable and controlled riding experience. Like the standard GS, the Triple Black edition features a seat height of 850mm and a 20-liter fuel tank. The BMW Motorrad Telelever front suspension, with 37mm stanchion diameter, provides stable handling, while the double disc front brakes with four-piston calipers and ABS offer reliable stopping power. The 'Triple Black' designation refers to its unique color scheme. This model is designed for riders who appreciate a stylish and capable motorcycle. The Triple Black edition offers the same versatility and performance as the standard GS, but with a more aggressive and distinctive appearance. It's a great choice for riders who want a motorcycle that stands out from the crowd.
