2016 triple black?

Is there anything different about the seat other than the GS logo ? Is it more comfortable or anything useful ?

As you may guess from my avatar I have one coming shortly :thumb2
 
I just cant get myself to like the colours except for the black one... i may have to go new.
 
ahh apologies, I was after the adventure, I cant find the option of triple black on that anywhere
 
I too wanted a GSA, but there was no triple black , no free sat nav , no free top box and rack. It was opening the price gap up to an unrealistic amount of money!

I'm counting the days till my triple black arrives.
 
Exclusive seat info cut / paste ;


BMW Motorrad USA is pleased to introduce an additional line of seats added to the already extensive collection of accessories for the water-cooled R1200GS and Adventure. The Exclusive rider and passenger seats offer a visual upgrade over the standard saddle as well as increased comfort. Attractive color schemes combine with all colors for these models. With six different possible combinations, the comfort needs of riders and passengers can be custom tailored exactly.

Upgrade your saddle with dual color scheme, contrast stitching and embroidered lettering for a custom seat look. Increased comfort in part because of a 0.20 in Soft-Touch TM memory foam insert.

-Soft-Touch TM feels softer than ordinary foam, yet it supports better and retains its shape
-Rider’s seat is available in three seat heights-Low, Normal and High
-The passenger seat is available in two widths-Normal and Narrow
-High quality seating surface is made of artificial leather
-Exclusive multi-colored design in black/grey with white piping and grey double contrast stitching
-GS lettering in grey embroidered on passenger seat
-All three Exclusive rider’s seats can be combined with one of two different Exclusive passenger seats, which differ in the thickness of their padding
-Exclusive passenger seat: shape identical to the standard water-cooled R1200GS passenger seat
-Exclusive narrow passenger seat: shorter seated-arc length due to the narrower padding
-Soft-Touch TM memory foam insert on both versions

R1200GS version installed:
-Exclusive high rider’s seat: height 34.3/35 .0 in, seated-arc length 75.2/76.8 in
-Exclusive rider’s seat: height 33.5/34.3 in, seated-arc length 73.6/75.2 in
-Exclusive low rider’s seat: height 32.3/33.1 in, seated-arc length 71.7/73.2 in
 
Thanks Stuart, so is this exclusive seat on the Triple black any higher than the regular GS TE seat ? Good news it's more comfortable but I really don't want the seat any higher, I'm at my limit on the regular seat at the low setting
 
And a tinted screen, black cylinder covers and radiator covers!:D

I agree with that. It's a great looking bike, but I'd just describe it as black, rather than looking like a special edition. They definitely could have done more to make it look meaner!

I wonder if they will do a Rallye version?
 
Vanguard , with the embossed GS logo , memory foam and more expensive spec I'm sure someone would be delighted to swap it for a standard one . Having said that ... Set the suspension to soft , solo rider and I'm sure you'll be fine while you get used to it .

When are you hoping to take delivery! It made me chuckle - we have all purchased something we haven't actually seen !

£15,500???? So you not worried about crappy gearboxes, failed final drives, dodgy instrument clusters. At lease when the engine paint starts to flake it will be clearly visible. You guys keep me grinning.

I will be getting mine next month hopefully, doesn't the soft setting raise the suspension ? I'm on the balls of my feet on a GS with standard seat and low setting, don't want to be on tip toe !

No, not at all worried, it has a warranty and they can have it back when that runs out and I'll lease another one at 2.9% which is only slightly above the rate of inflation, so technically it's interest free

Man Maths, use it :)
