A classic enduro for pure riding pleasure, both on and off-road. Authentic design inspired by the legendary BMW R 80 G/S. "With the new BMW R 12 GIS, BMW Motorrad offers a classic enduro for
purist off-road enjoyment. The abbreviation, borrowed from the legendary R 80 GIS, stands for 1Gelände / StraBe1 (Terrain / Street) and indicates that the new addition to the BMW R 12 family can handle both terrains with ease. We know that countless fans have been eagerly awaiting this motorcycle." Markus Lederer, Head of Boxer Series.
The new BMW R 12 G/S: Classic enduro design inspired by the legendary BMW R 80 G/S. Ideal ergonomics for ambitious off-road riding. BMW Motorrad and off-road sports. This motorsport success runs like a thread through the company's history. The powerful boxer engine in combination with the cardan drive has proven its winning power and robustness in countless competitions.
BMW Motorrad did not begin series production of an enduro with a boxer engine until 1980. The BMW R 80 G/S was born. A series-production off-road motorcycle unlike anything seen before. Blessed with off-road expertise, touring capabilities, and dynamic qualities on the road in equal measure. In short: The abbreviation G/S stands for 11Gelände / StraBe11 and means terrain/street. A perfect summary of the all-round qualities of this new motorcycle. The new BMW R 12 G/S embodies the spirit of the off-road enduro with a boxer engine in the style of the R 80 G/S in terms of design and perfectly translates this into the modern age with contemporary technology. With long suspension travel, spoked wheels, and a small but compact cockpit fairing.
