BMW Motorrad has launched the R 12 G/S, a modern classic enduro motorcycle that blends retro styling with advanced engineering. Inspired by the iconic R 80 G/S from 1980, the new model is designed for riders who want a versatile bike capable of handling both off-road trails and everyday street riding.
The G/S stands for "Gelände/Straße" — German for off-road and street. This name honors the original R 80 G/S, which became famous for combining long-distance touring comfort with strong off-road capabilities. The new R 12 G/S carries that spirit forward with improved performance, updated electronics, and enhanced ergonomics.
