  • In the lower section, too, there are numerous high-quality milled parts available, such as the milled footbrake lever with a foldable foot plate and rider footrest, or the milled ignition coil cover at the cylinder head cover.
  • MEDIOCRITY IS NOT AN OPTION: The surfaces and materials will continue to impress you, time after time. The numerous milled parts included in the Option 719 equipment raise the exclusivity to an entirely new level. The hand lever, the cover of the liquid tank on the handbrake fitting and clutch lever fitting, the cover clasps over the spark plugs on the valve covers and the footrest system for the driver, including levers, are made from milled aluminum with a Shadow finish.
  • YOUR DREAMS ARE YOUR DRIVE: Whatever you may wish to achieve, the legendary boxer makes it possible. You can feel its unique character from the first second and in every speed range. With its 145 hp, it offers you outstanding performance, while also ensuring a quiet ride at low speeds. A displacement of 1300 ccm provides a level of performance that you’ll feel on every route and in every driving situation.
  • EXPRESS YOUR INIMITABILITY: Tramuntana represents the GS spirit in its own unique way. Every detail is designed to stand out against the frame – be it the gold-anodized parts or the exclusive milled parts. For all those not only looking for special experiences, but also a special design.
  • BE OUTSTANDING: Lots of gold, lots of milled parts, lots of special features. The aluminum tank, which is also painted in Blue Metallic, and the two airbox covers have a matte clear coat. This provides more contrast and emphasizes the sophisticated and exclusive character. Another special highlight is the central fuel tank cover, which serves as an extension of the seat. It is upholstered with a flexible, gray and black cover that features the Option 719 emblem.
