R 12 G/S
Like its spiritual predecessor, the R 80 G/S from 1980, the R 12 G/S stands for unlimited biking adventures, and will awaken your spontaneous desire for adventure.
The G/S legend lives on.
The R 12 G/S pays tribute to the beginnings of the G/S legend – nostalgia and modernity in perfect symbiosis. The exposed, aesthetically staged boxer engine, the high chassis, and the colour scheme of the original are immediately striking. Its martial retro look will have you yearning for the deserts and off-road trails.
Its purist style references the insignia of the R 80 G/S and makes the bike a timeless classic and a unique style statement, even today.
Airboxer forever.
An engine with loyal fans: the boxer. With the R 12 G/S, we have incorporated it into a contemporary framework concept. The basic structure consisting of the engine, single-piece tubular spaceframe with a bolted rear frame, flush suspension strut and redesigned engine peripheral equipment provides the basis for an enjoyable ride.
With the three riding modes, RAIN, ROAD, and ENDURO, you can adapt your riding experience to suit your preferences. The typical boxer sound and 109 hp will transport you straight to adventure, with no diversions.
