The first motorcycle in the Triple Black range was the R1200GS, launched in 2010 and proved very popular. The Triple Black series offered a black appearance and aggressive styling.

In 2012, the German motorcycle manufacturer introduced the BMW R1200GS Adventure Triple Black, a bike created for the more adventurous ones among BMW fans. It packed additional touring elements that enhanced its overall capabilities.

Compared to the R1200GS Triple Black, the Adventure Triple Black had a 33-liter fuel tank, a taller windscreen, wire-spoke wheels, longer travel suspension, and rugged engine protection bars.

Aesthetically, the motorcycle packed standard fittings, such as a single headlight unit, a tall windscreen, hand guards, engine bars, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a luggage rack, a two-into-one exhaust system, a single-sided swingarm, and wire-spoke wheels with blacked-out rims.

The engineers from the House of Munich used three shades of black and gray, giving it an unmistakable modern appearance.

The 2012 BMW R1200GS Adventure Triple Black had its soul brought to life by a 1,170cc four-stroke air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine that delivered an output power of 110 hp at 7,750 rpm and 120 Nm (88 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

The power generated by the engine was sent to the rear axle via a six-speed transmission and a final shaft drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 193 kph (120 mph).
