Just when you thought the 2024 motorcycle lineup couldn't get any more thrilling, BMW drops a bombshell – the all-new R12, a custom cruiser that's here to steal the spotlight alongside its German sibling, the R18. Get ready to be swept off your feet by the latest addition to BMW's cruiser family, born from the iconic R12 nineT.
Back in May, BMW unveiled the R12 nineT, a masterpiece that's not just an upgrade but a rebirth of the legendary RNineT, a retro roadster that made waves in 2014 to celebrate BMW Motorrad's 90th anniversary. The RNineT became a sensation, evolving into various versions like the 2017 RNineT Urban G/S and RNineT Pure, with the base model getting a Euro5 update in 2021.

Now, BMW is turning heads once again with not just one, but two giant leaps forward. The R12 nineT isn't just a replacement for the RNineT; it's a revolution. While the 1170cc engine retains its legendary status with a few tweaks, such as a new airbox under the seat, revamped rocker box covers, and a fresh exhaust design, the rest of the bike is a symphony of innovation.
The star of the show is the new two-piece, tubular steel 'bridge' style space frame, boasting a bolt-on rear sub-frame that bids farewell to the old RNineT's main frame. This new frame is not just lighter and simpler; it's a canvas for customization, allowing riders to easily modify their bikes. The repositioned rear shock, coupled with a new aluminum tank, sleek bodywork, and upgraded electronics featuring three riding modes (Rain, Road, and Dynamic), elevates the R12 nineT to a league of its own.

But that's not all – the rider experience has been fine-tuned to perfection. The 16-liter tank is now 30mm shorter and narrower at the rear, bringing the rider closer to the handlebars for a more front-oriented riding position. It's not just a bike; it's an extension of the rider's desires.
Powering this beast is a 109bhp engine that roars to life at 7,000rpm, generating a torque of 85lb ft at 6,500rpm. Imagine the thrill of the wind in your hair as you command this two-wheeled symphony of power and elegance.

Mark your calendars for March, because that's when the R12 nineT is set to hit the roads, with a price tag that reads £14,420. It's not just a bike; it's a statement. A statement that BMW continues to redefine the riding experience, pushing boundaries and setting new standards with each release.
In a world where every twist of the throttle is a dance with freedom, the R12 nineT emerges as a partner, inviting you to embark on a journey where every ride is an adventure, and every destination is a story waiting to unfold. This is not just a cruiser; it's an ode to the open road, a celebration of the rider's spirit, and a promise of endless excitement.
