The newly launched BMW R 12 G/S 2025 marks a significant moment for BMW Motorrad, as it revives the spirit of the iconic R 80 G/S, a pioneer in the adventure motorcycle segment. This new model beautifully blends classic retro styling with modern technology, creating a machine that's equally adept on tarmac and off-road. At its heart lies the familiar 1170cc air/oil-cooled boxer twin engine, delivering a robust 109 horsepower, providing ample power for diverse riding conditions. Key features that highlight its off-road capabilities include long suspension travel, cross-spoke wheels, and the option for an 18-inch rear wheel in the Enduro Package Pro, complementing the standard 21-inch front wheel. The ergonomic design caters to adventurous riders, with options for various seat heights, enduro footrests, and adjustable handlebars. The R 12 GS 2025 also incorporates modern electronic aids, including multiple riding modes like "Road," "Rain," and "Enduro," with an optional "Enduro Pro" mode for more experienced off-roaders. The design pays homage to its legendary predecessor, with a compact cockpit fairing and a distinctive silhouette. BMW Motorrad has also focused on practicality, offering features like steel eyelets for luggage and a range of optional accessories to customize the bike for individual needs.
