The BMW R 12 S

Tribute to a legend

The R 12 S brings legendary genetics to the streets in a modern and stylish way. It combines the shapes and colours of the ultimate racing bike from the 1970s, the R 90 S, with modern technology, comfort, and driving dynamics, as well as extensive standard equipment. Based on the R 12 nineT, it gives you a unique riding experience with an unmistakable boxer punch – pure #Soulfuel. Let’s paint the town orange.

Let’s paint the town orange

The stylish colour scheme and exclusive details are a nod to the R 90 S. The black fork and handlebars, as well as the cockpit fairing with a dark, tinted windscreen, all create strong contrasts. The Shadow & Shadow II Billet packs and the silver spoked wheels are exclusive to the R 12 S. The airbox badge with the red S serves to prove how fun and stylish this bike truly is.
