Features

• THE SPIRIT OF THE ORIGINAL: Like its spiritual predecessor, the R 80 G/S from 1980, the R 12 G/S stands for unbridled motorcycle adventures. The shapes and colors emphasize the character of this free spirit.
• THE G/S LEGEND LIVES ON: The R 12 G/S pays tribute to the beginnings of the G/S legend – nostalgia and modernity in perfect symbiosis. The exposed, aesthetically staged boxer engine, the high chassis, and the color scheme of the original are immediately striking. Its retro look will have you yearning for the deserts and off-road trails. Its simple style references the insignia of the R 80 G/S and makes the bike both a timeless classic and a unique statement.
• LED HEADLIGHT: With the X-shaped light icons, the LED headlight embodies the pure off-road spirit, and helps ensure that obstacles are visible, even in the dark.
• ENDURO SUSPENSION: Designed for off-roading: with 8.2” of spring travel at the fork and 7.8” of spring travel at the rear suspension strut. Excels on the streets: for precise and direct rideability with the typical BMW driving dynamics.
• STAY SMART ON THE GO: CONNECTEDRIDE CONTROL: With the ConnectedRide Control optional equipment, the R 12 G/S features a smartphone holder and a USB-C port so that you maintain your charge on the road.
• CONFIDENCE IS ALONG FOR THE RIDE: ABS PRO: For enhanced riding confidence when cornering and leaning: the partial integral brake system with ABS Pro.
• AUTHENTIC: RETRO OFF-ROAD BOXER: An unmistakeable centerpiece: the appropriately staged air/oil-cooled boxer engine.
• COMFORT PACKAGE WITH SHIFT ASSISTANT PRO: The Shift Assistant Pro in the optional comfort package allows for smooth and rapid gear changes in both directions, without having to use the clutch.
• AND ACTION: RALLYE SEAT: One of the three seat versions available is the optional Rallye seat. It lets the rider sit 0.8” higher. Consistent geometry and the straight contour are designed to meet your off-roading needs.
• AS STANDARD: READY FOR OFF-ROADING: The fully adjustable suspension with spring travel of 8.2”/7.8” is designed for off-road use. With a ground clearance of 9.4”, even larger obstacles pose no problem. The flat bench seat allows for freedom of movement when standing, while the tank geometry offers the perfect place to rest your knees when riding off-road.
• AIRBOXER FOREVER: An engine with loyal fans: the boxer. With the R 12 G/S, we have incorporated it into a contemporary framework concept. The basic structure consisting of the engine, single-piece tubular spaceframe with a bolted rear frame, flush suspension strut and redesigned engine peripheral equipment provides the basis for an enjoyable ride. With the three riding modes, RAIN, ROAD, and ENDURO, you can adapt your riding experience to suit your preferences. The typical boxer sound and 109 hp will transport you straight to adventure, with no diversions.
