An off-road motorcycle with style

The Spirit of the Original

Like its spiritual predecessor, the R 80 G/S from 1980, the R 12 G/S stands for unbridled motorcycle adventures. The shapes and colors emphasize the character of this free spirit.

Light White

The color of the original: white paint on the tank, graphics in light blue and dark blue, as well as the characteristic red bench seat.

Option 719 Aragonite

Adventure calls: Exclusive Option 719 Style in Sandrover Matte with accents in Racing Red and Mineral Grey Metallic Matte.

Night Black Matte

A purist style statement: the R 12 G/S is presented entirely in black, with a tone-on-tone effect.

The G/S legend lives on

The R 12 G/S pays tribute to the beginnings of the G/S legend – nostalgia and modernity in perfect symbiosis. The exposed, aesthetically staged boxer engine, the high chassis, and the color scheme of the original are immediately striking. Its retro look will have you yearning for the deserts and off-road trails. Its simple style references the insignia of the R 80 G/S and makes the bike both a timeless classic and a unique statement.
