BMW R 12 GS Review: Retro Boxer Heritage Meets Modern Off‑Road Performance

Описание: What do you think of BMW’s newest heritage adventure machine, the R12 G/S? Would you ride it off-road?

In this brief video review, we examine the BMW R 12 G/S, a modern-retro adventure bike derived from the iconic R 80 G/S, expertly designed by BMW Motorrad to handle both winding roads and off-road trails. From its 1,170 cc boxer twin engine (109 HP / 115 Nm) and long-travel suspension (210 mm front / 200 mm rear) to its 21" front and 17" rear wire-spoked wheels, this bike blends vintage charisma with serious modern off-road prowess...

What makes the BMW R 12 G/S stand out:

Tubular steel spaceframe optimised for off-road, paired with high-clearance chassis and rugged suspension

Lean-sensitive ABS Pro, riding modes (Rain, Road, Enduro), with optional Enduro Pro mode for uncompromised terrain

Optional upgrades like Shift Assistant Pro, adaptive headlight, rally seat, and 18" rear wheel for ultimate off-road readiness

A clean, minimalist cockpit with the choice between a classic analogue dial or a micro TFT display

"It's like riding a BMW HP2 but better"
