Cruise as you are

You don't have to dream of California. This cruiser brings this unique vibe right to your doorstep. Its low seat height invites you to hop on immediately. As a road surfer, you might want to give your ears some fitting music to listen to. And then: riding towards an endless horizon. Alternatively, you may simply want to listen to the sound of the boxer engine and let its drive system roll you through cities or rock around winding country roads. Enjoy this unique #Soulfuel feeling – life is easy on the R 12.

Laid back instead of fast forward

The R 12 epitomizes a casual lifestyle. Dress code: smart casual. Style: classic. Iconic design features, like the round instrument, make it unmistakeable. The memorable design is primarily defined by the tank, seat, airbox cover and the front and rear mudguards.

Features may include:

Technical highlight: LED headlight
  • Illuminating the road before you: the LED headlight helps ensure that you see everything and are seen by everyone – at any time of day or night and even in poor visibility.
Inviting: extra low seat height
  • Welcome home: The single bench seat with a low seat height of just 29.7” makes the R 12 easily accessible and invites a number of fans to climb aboard.
Hi-tech on board: the brake system
  • Unrestrained riding pleasure, even if you have to stop. The partial integral brake system ensures automatic brake force distribution with dynamic adaptation.
Elegant detail: the chromed nameplate
  • The shiny, chromed aluminum plate adorns your R 12 with its name and makes your bike recognizable everywhere – wherever it is you may go.
Modern vintage: the round instrument
  • The round instrument emphasizes the retro character of the R 12. The analog speedometer proves that you are riding a bike with history.
Powerful centerpiece: the boxer engine
  • The popular boxer engine of the R 12 delivers fine acceleration on the road even at low revs thanks to its rich torque.
