“With the new BMW R 12 G/S, BMW Motorrad is offering a classic enduro for puristic off-road fun. The abbreviation borrowed from the legendary R 80 G/S stands for ‘Gelände / Straße’ (Off-road / Street) and signals that the new member of the BMW R 12 family, masters both equally. We know that numerous fans have been eagerly waiting for this motorcycle.” Markus Lederer, Head of Boxer Series.
