Since then, a six-year production run
has seen Triumph deliver a healthy 26,800
examples of its top-end model to the global
marketplace, making it a no-brainer for the

its R&D resources developing an extensively
revamped Gen 3 version for 2018, with the
added benefit of Euro 4 compliance.

Milan show back in November

aimed at BMW's cash cow in the R 1200
GS Boxer—king of the adventure touring
segment and a bike that represents a quar-
ter of BMW's annual production.
