Let’s paint the town orange
he stylish colour scheme and exclusive details are a nod to the R 90 S. The black fork and handlebars, as well as the cockpit fairing with a dark, tinted windscreen, all create strong contrasts. The Shadow & Shadow II Billet packs and the silver spoked wheels are exclusive to the R 12 S. The airbox badge with the red S serves to prove how fun and stylish this bike truly is.
Create your own
The R 12 S is already a work of art as standard. If there is any equipment you want to add on, you can choose from the same selection of accessory products as is available for the R 12 nineT. Among other options, these include the short rear, the titanium rear silencer, and the practical side bags
It's a boxer baby!
That boxer feeling
Even the engine is legendary. Today, as ever, the boxer is the drive of choice when you’re looking for a unique riding experience. With the three riding modes, RAIN, ROAD, and DYNAMIC, you can adapt your riding experience to suit your preferences.
An incomparable riding experience
The ergonomics, which are based on the R 12 nineT, allow you to maintain a dynamic sitting posture. ABS Pro and DTC provide support on the road. The features of the comfort package are included as standard and give you a more intensive riding experience: from shift assistant Pro to Hill Start Control. In colder temperatures, the heated grips keep your hands nice and warm. There’s only one problem: it’s hard to drag yourself off this bike.
