Features
Shine on: gold and black spoked wheels
The optional tubeless spoked wheels enhance every mile and every kilometre. Golden accents reflect the sun as you ride towards it in style.
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.
Powerful centrepiece: the boxer engine
It may not be a heart of gold, but it is a very powerful heart: the popular boxer engine of the R 12 delivers fine acceleration on the road even at low revs thanks to its rich torque.
