Bmw Heritage 1200

The BMW R 12 G/S retro enduro invites you to go on a spontaneous adventure: stay off the beaten path and live out your own style. BMW has taken the wraps off of the new R 12 G/S that pays homage to the original R 80 G/S, which got the open.

The R 12 G/S comes in three versions-there's a basic edition in all black, the color iteration featuring white tank, blue decals and red seat, and the 719. With the BMW R 12 S, BMW Motorrad expands its Heritage range with a fitting tribute to the iconic R 90 S, which in 1973, set an exclamation mark for BMW Motorrad with 67 hp, a top speed of 124 mph (considered the "sound barrier" for motorcycles at the time), double disk front brakes and sporting riding dynamics. Chief Designer at the time, Hans A.
