Features

AN IMPOSING PRESENCE - BLACK PAINTED PARTS: The tank and the painted parts in the front section have a sleek black aesthetic. The Triple Black inscription further emphasizes this.
WELL PREPARED WITH THE LUGGAGE SYSTEM: Wherever you may wish to go: Take everything you need. Upon request, there are case holders and topcase supports available for your luggage, which are each equipped with the available central locking system.
QUALITY IN BLACK - THE FRAME: The main and rear frames are designed in black, like most of the surfaces. All of the surfaces are presented in an intriguing, muted interplay of shapes.
EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL WITH THE MULTIFUNCTIONAL SWITCH: You decide on the direction, and the Dynamic Cruise Control (DCC) maintains the configured speed. With the multifunctional switch, you have everything in hand.
DEVELOP YOUR POTENTIAL: Wherever you may wish to go, your boxer won’t let you down. The entire 145 hp will help you stay cool in almost any situation, unless you’d like to get a little adrenaline along the way. Then you will come to appreciate the impressively powerful torque development. The ShiftCam technology helps ensure that the bike runs smoothly and quietly. Even on treacherous terrain, you can stay in control, which can be partly attributed to the displacement of 1,300 ccm. All you need to do: Choose your next destination.
READY FOR ALMOST ANYTHING: Triple Black represents the perfect harmony of innovative shapes and exclusive surfaces. The numerous black elements exude authoritative power and make the GS shapes even more distinctive. An impressive all-rounder for GS fans.
STAY AMBITIOUS: You like to think ahead, that much is clear. The GS Flyline is the ideal accompaniment. The continuous surfaces that run from the beak right through to the license plate carrier create an image that drops down towards the front – pure dynamism. The luggage carrier and the optional additional headlight that is integrated into the body blend perfectly into the aesthetic. However, looks aren’t everything. The motto is: Design follows comfort. The comfort seats, comfort rear footrest, the center stand and the electrically adjustable high windscreen combined with the cockpit fairing and the wind deflectors are also part of the equipment.
