2025 BMW R 12 Aventurin red metallic

Cruise as you are

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

Features may include:

  • Technical highlight: LED headlight

Illuminating the road before you: the LED headlight with daytime running light ensures 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 seat bench with a low seat height of just 754 mm makes the R 12 easily accessible and invites a large 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.

  • Dynamics and comfort: shift assistant Pro

Cruising instead of shifting: the shift assistant Pro is included in the optional comfort package. It enables gear changes in both directions without actuating the clutch.

  • Elegant detail: the chromed VIN plate

The shiny, chromed aluminium plate adorns your R 12 with its name and makes your bike recognisable everywhere – wherever it is you may go.

  • Modern vintage: the round instrument

The round instrument emphasises the retro character of the R 12. The analogue speedometer proves that you are riding a bike with history.
