A legend reborn for modern adventurers, the BMW R 12 G/S revives the spirit of the original 1980 R 80 G/S with rugged charisma and go-anywhere capability. Heritage design meets advanced technology, dovetailing the past with performance made for today's explorers.
Bold and purposeful, the R 12 G/S features a high-mounted 21″ front wheel and distinctive X-shaped LED headlight, echoing the look that made its ancestor iconic. Its tubular spaceframe and upright stance nod to classic enduro aesthetics, while the single-piece tank, rally-style bench, and minimal bodywork bring authentic off-road toughness to life.
The flat rally seat and wide enduro handlebar invite both seated and standing riding, offering unparalleled control on rough terrain. With three riding modes Rain, Road, and Enduro, this R 12 G/S adapts intuitively to your terrain. USB-C charging and a smartphone cradle from the ConnectedRide option pack keep you connected wherever the path leads.
Standard ABS Pro and dynamic traction control support rider confidence on challenging surfaces. Cross-spoked tubeless wheels combine durability with convenience, while the optional Enduro Package Pro delivers an 18″ rear wheel, peg risers, handguards, engine guard, and Up-enduro riding mode. Shift Assistant Pro, optional comfort packs, and a Rallye seat elevate both riding pleasure and adventure readiness.
At its core lies a contemporary air/oil-cooled 1,170 cc boxer engine, tuned for smooth delivery of its 109 hp and 115 Nm torque. Boxer grunt meets enduro reverse-shifting ease, mated to a six-speed gearbox and shaft drive. Fully adjustable suspension offers 210 mm front and 200 mm rear travel with 240 mm ground clearance, ready for dirt, gravel, or city grind.
The R 12 G/S is more than a throwback, it’s a rally-ready homage that fuses BMW’s heritage with modern capability. Whether it's cobbled streets or wild trails, this bike is engineered for riders who demand authenticity, versatility, and character. Discover the R 12 G/S in person at Douglas Park Motorrad, where legacy meets the open road.
