AN UNMISTAKEABLE ORIGINAL


Laid back instead of fast-forward

The 2024 BMW R12 epitomizes a casual lifestyle. Dress code: smart casual. Style: classic. Iconic design features, like the round instrument, make it unmistakable. The memorable design is primarily defined by the tank, seat, airbox cover, and the front and rear mudguards.

What you see is what you feel

Every journey on it will feel simple, beautiful, and relaxed. The classic cruiser flyline, which slopes down towards the rear, is formed by the solo seat in conjunction with the large rear-wheel cover. The teardrop-shaped steel tank blends in harmoniously. 

FEEL FREE TO LET IT ROLL


Rock 'n' roll on the road

With the legendary drive and the ROLL and ROCK riding modes, you can switch from seriously laid-back to dynamic whenever you like. This boxer engine optimized for the custom cruiser delivers rich torque and fine acceleration on the road at low revs. ROLL mode is optimized for a balanced cruiser feeling. ROCK mode makes you want to chase bends dynamically with optimum stability. 

Customize it!

The basis for individual ideas is the backbone concept. The classic tubular spaceframe, the flat suspension strut, and the new airbox give maximum freedom in the tank seat area design. With customizing parts such as the drag bar handlebars or the custom rear end trim, for example, you can give your 2024 BMW R12 a striking bobber style in no time at all.

THE ULTIMATE CRUISER FEELING


Hang Loose

How relaxed can you be when riding? The special handlebar and footrest ergonomics ensure an outstanding cruiser feeling with a relaxed sitting position. The low seat height is inviting and perfect for first-time riders as for born-again bikers. More reasons to stay relaxed: ABS Pro regulates the braking effect depending on the lean angle, and DTC also manages traction. Lean back and enjoy your ride.

The spirit of easy

Just get on. The R12 will take you anywhere in comfort. Start without a key, thanks to Keyless Ride. Use your smartphone for sat nav with the optional ConnectedRide Control, including a mobile phone holder. Have everything displayed even more clearly on the optional Digital Display. Shift between gears without actuating the clutch with the shift assistant of the optional comfort package.

Embrace the Relaxed Spirit of Cruising with the 2024 BMW R12

The 2024 BMW R12 embodies the essence of laid-back cruising, effortlessly bringing this distinctive style to your everyday adventures. Its inviting low seat height beckons you to hop on and embark on a journey of pure relaxation. The R12's captivating design is masterfully crafted, with its defining elements – the tank, seat, airbox cover, and front and rear mudguards – seamlessly harmonizing to create a timeless cruiser aesthetic. Complementing the classic cruiser design is the R12's relaxed seating position, featuring a lowered seat height and wider handlebars, ensuring unparalleled comfort and control during your leisurely rides. The R12's commanding stance is further accentuated by its contrasting wheel sizes – a large 19-inch front wheel paired with a smaller 16-inch rear wheel.

What Powers the BMW R12? 

In celebration of BMW Motorrad's 100th anniversary, the all-new 2024 R12 and R12 nineT motorcycles showcase a distinctive powertrain configuration – the air/oil-cooled boxer engine. With its 101 mm bore, 73 mm stroke, and 1,170 cc capacity, this legendary design delivers a powerful punch, generating 109 horsepower in the R12 nineT and 95 horsepower in the R12. The accompanying maximum torque figures are equally impressive, reaching 85 lb-ft for the R12 nineT and 81 lb-ft for the R12. The R12 and R12 nineT will appeal to riders seeking a blend of classic style, effortless cruising, and exhilarating performance.

The New Trellis Frame for the 2024 BMW R12

At the heart of the new BMW R12 models lies a reimagined trellis steel frame, replacing its predecessor's two-piece front main frame, the R nineT series. This innovative design streamlines the frame, eliminating unnecessary fastenings and resulting in a lighter and more aesthetically pleasing structure. The rear frame, also crafted from tubular steel, seamlessly integrates with the main frame, enhancing the overall rigidity and stability of the motorcycle. This reimagined frame, coupled with the refined suspension geometry, forms the cornerstone of the 2024 BMW R12's exceptional performance, promising an unparalleled riding experience that is both exhilarating and confidence-inspiring.
