The R 12 G/S is BMW's modern retro adventure bike with an air/oil-cooled 1170 cc boxer, 21-inch front wheel and long travel. It references the classic G/S but adds modern brakes and electronics; its tall 850 mm seat and off-road focus make it less approachable than a regular roadster.

The BMW R 12 GS is an adventure motorcycle BMW introduced in 2025 as a more classically oriented alternative to the technology-laden R 1300 GS. The engine is a 1170 cc air/oil-cooled boxer twin, a deliberate return to the character of the air-cooled R-series, producing 109 hp with a characteristic grumble that echoes the R 1150 GS generation. It is built on a steel frame construction and wears a more traditional appearance than its high-tech sibling, including wire-spoke wheels as standard.
The R 12 GS appeals to riders who value adventure touring but prefer riding feel over electronic intervention. BMW positions it alongside the R 1300 GS as the more purist choice, yet it retains modern ABS and traction control. The handling is more communicative and direct compared with the more filtered R 1300 GS. A compelling option for riders who loved the R 1150/1200 GS generation but want a new-built machine.

Check the air/oil cooling system for correct fluid level and leaks at the oil-cooler hoses; essential in hot summer conditions.
Inspect the spoke nipples and rim tape seal for correct tension and airtightness on tubeless-fitted wheels.
Check the clutch action; the dry single-plate clutch is sensitive to riding style and needs attention with intensive off-road use.
Confirm all software updates have been applied at purchase; as a new 2025 model, minor firmware corrections are possible.
Check the shaft drive for correct oil level and leaks at the final drive unit.
