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.
BMW R nineT 2018

What more can be said about the BMW R nineT? Since its release in 2014, it has been a real perennial favourite in the customising scene and also at BMW itself. Its ingredients, however, are of very high quality and explain why the result is so coherent. The boxer engine, full of character, is a real joy every time you pull the throttle and, thanks to the wonderful sound, it never gets boring in the long run. Despite the relatively high weight, the BMW is pleasant to ride thanks to the high-quality chassis and finds a balanced mixture between cruiser and sporty naked bike. The look is of course a matter of taste, but the sales figures suggest that BMW must have done something right. And even if you don't like the standard look, accessories are a dime a dozen.
