BMW R 12 G/S 2025

BMW R 12 G/S 2025

The BMW R12 G/S is not a practical GS, but an emotional one. It is aimed at tall, experienced riders who value character, directness and that classic boxer engine feel more highly than comfort, electronics and everyday practicality. Those who understand it and know how to ride it will find a bike with genuine charisma and a rare sense of riding pleasure – everyone else will be disappointed with it.
