G/S is Back: BMW R 12 G/S with Wunderlich Refinements

Yet the G/S isn't just a nostalgic glance in the rearview; it's also a technically sophisticated, minimalist, and thus particularly dynamic bike. It intentionally contrasts with the tech-heavy R 1300 GS, adhering to the principle: "Reduced to the max." Lighter, slimmer, more uncompromising—this concept is best summed up this way.

Beyond its visual appeal, the R 12 G/S shines with its new features: The air-oil-cooled boxer engine delivers 1170 cc of displacement, ensuring a direct, linear throttle response. The newly designed double-loop steel tube frame is particularly striking, offering not only a striking silhouette but also noticeable benefits in stiffness and weight. The repositioned tank, traditionally located between the rider and the seat, not only highlights its retro charm but also optimizes mass centralization. Adding to this is a modern LED light signature that brings the iconic round headlamp into the present. The ergonomics have also been revamped: a flatter handlebar, various seat height options, and refined seat geometry enhance control both off-road and on the street.

For those looking to turn their R 12 G/S into a true one-of-a-kind machine—or just seeking a bit more comfort, protection, and functionality—Wunderlich now offers a wide range of high-quality components and accessories. This includes ergonomically optimized seats, individually adjustable levers, handlebar risers, and other details that ensure every rider finds their ideal riding position. Comfort is enhanced with new solutions for more relaxed travel, such as adjustable windscreens, seat cushions, or vibration dampening on handlebars and footrests. When it comes to protection, Wunderlich has plenty to offer: from sturdy crash bars to engine guards and tank pads to radiator covers—all adding not just safety but a rugged look to the bike. For those planning to tour with the G/S, there's a modular luggage system with bags, carriers, and navigation solutions. Reflective elements, additional lights, and protective films enhance passive safety. Furthermore, there are custom suspension solutions and electronic upgrades in the Smart Media sector, including mounts, power supply, and connectivity options.

In addition to the new G/S, Wunderlich has already added accessories for the brand-new BMW R 1300 RT, RS, and R to its lineup. So, if you've already upgraded to the new models or plan to soon, you can stock up on the right parts in the online shop.
