BMW Motorrad has unveiled a number of new liveries on selected models in its 2016 line-up, as well as announcing the R 1200 GS TripleBlack — a special edition model where the name just about says it all.
The central fuel tank cover, fuel tank side panels and front mudguard are all in black metallic, together with black anodised fork slider tubes. The frame is grey, in combination with the engine, gearbox and swingarm. A new black-grey seat with "GS" application on the passenger seat and spokes — normally a special equipment feature — round out the changes.
Meanwhile, the 'normal' R 1200 will be available in a new colour (Light white non-metallic replaces the existing Alpine white 3 non-metallic), while banking-optimised ABS Pro (which operates in conjunction with the Riding Modes Pro option) has now been added to the range of special equipment.
