Introducing the BMW R12 G/S

The new BMW R12 G/S is a remarkable addition to BMW’s celebrated retro twin family. Priced at £14,420 OTR, this bike draws inspiration from the iconic R80 G/S launched in 1980, merging classic roadster charm with the ruggedness of an off-road adventure bike.

Performance and Specifications

Equipped with the same powerful 1170cc boxer twin engine found in the rest of the R12 lineup, the R12 G/S delivers a thrilling 107.3bhp at 7000rpm and a robust torque of 84.9lb.ft at 6500rpm. Weighing in at 229kg ready to ride, it balances stability and agility, making it an excellent choice for both street cruising and off-road excursions.

Versatile Adventure Awaits

The R12 G/S stands out in the current BMW lineup, which includes the £11,990 R12 cruiser and the £14,420 R12 ninet roadster. Its dual-purpose capability allows riders to navigate various terrains confidently, whether it’s a city commute or a countryside adventure. With its unique blend of style and performance, the BMW R12 G/S is poised to redefine what both retro and adventure bikes can offer.
