Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 12 S 2025

BMW R 12 S 2025

With the R 12 S, BMW has succeeded in creating a desirable top-of-the-range model in the R 12 Inline. A feel-good engine paired with high-quality components and magnificent looks conjure up a grin under the helmet. The special paintwork takes you back to the time of the first fairing-covered BMW bike, the legendary R 90 S. In terms of driving dynamics, the BMW is absolutely in tune with the times thanks to various features. Anyone who interprets the S as an indication of exceptional sportiness may be disappointed by the lack of maximum lean angle. Everyone else will be really happy with the R 12 S feast for the eyes, provided their wallet is sufficiently bulging.

Powerful boxer engine full of character

state-of-the-art electronics

retro charm of the 70s

Quickshifter series
