The BMW R 12 S

Tribute to a legend

The R 12 S brings legendary genetics to the streets in a modern and stylish way. It combines the shapes and colors of the ultimate racing bike from the 1970s, the R 90 S, with modern technology, comfort, and riding dynamics, as well as extensive standard equipment. Based on the R 12 nineT, it gives you a unique riding experience with an unmistakable boxer punch – pure #Soulfuel. Let’s paint the town orange.

Legends live forever

The stage is yours

Modern art meets an icon

The form and details clearly reflect the design language of the 1970’s. Every detail expressed passion and exclusivity. With bright Lava Orange Metallic paint, the bike brings its unique style to the streets.

Lava Orange Metallic

The aspects that pay tribute to the R 90 S can be found in the colors; the red double linework and the orange contrast stitching on the seat. Brushed aluminum on the tank and seat hump creates silver accents.

The stylish color scheme and exclusive details are a nod to the R 90 S. The black fork and handlebars, as well as the cockpit fairing with a dark, tinted windscreen, all create strong contrasts. The Shadow & Shadow II Billet packs and the silver spoked wheels are exclusive to the R 12 S. The airbox badge with the red S serves to prove how fun and stylish this bike truly is.
