2012 BMW R1200GS Adventure Triple Black

2012 BMW R1200GS Adventure Triple Black
This new 2012 BMW R1200GS Adventure Triple Black has just been released by BMW.
Like the previous Triple Black edition of the standard GS, which proved very popular, the new Adventure version has a three-shade paint scheme that covers the Telelever forks, engine cases, rear frame, Paralever swingarm and cylinder head covers.
The parts of the body, the blades of the fork and the motor are Telelever color Black Metallic (Sapphire Black Metallic), ranging tones to give the Ethics all’endurona road even more individuality and particularity.
The Paralever (single arm rear) and rear frame are gray (Asphalt Grey Metallic), the cylinder head cover, always gray, has a different shade (Granite Grey Metallic), and the finish side of the aluminum tank close under this “work relief” aesthetic. To complete the contrast and color, we find the saddle in black, and Grey Rallye headlights.
The first in the range of Triple Black motorcycles, the R 1200 GS, was launched in 2010 and has proved to be very popular. The Adventure Triple Black offers the same dark colours, but also features a huge 33-litre fuel tank, a taller touring screen, spoked wheels, longer travel suspension (ideal for on and off-road expeditions) and rugged engine protection bars.
BMW’s Tony Jakeman, said: “The first Triple Black, the R1200GS, was such a hit with customers that it was only a matter of time before the Adventure Triple Black was created.
The new Adventure Triple Black is now available from dealers priced £11,730.
