Short review of the BMW R12 with pros/cons, equipment, technical data, test drive, acceleration etc. The BMW R12 has been somewhat overshadowed by the R12 nineT since it was introduced at the end of 2023. Maybe because it's a little less equipped, but maybe also because it's more of a cruiser than a roadster. We grabbed an R12 test bike and cruised around the area. Here is our driving report.
