Tribute to a legend

The R 12 S brings legendary genetics to the streets in a modern and stylish way. It combines the shapes and colours of the ultimate racing bike from the 1970s, the R 90 S, with modern technology, comfort, and driving dynamics, as well as extensive standard equipment. Based on the R 12 nineT, it gives you a unique riding experience with an unmistakable boxer punch – pure #Soulfuel. Let’s paint the town orange.

Features may include:

  • Sporty, dynamic, stylish: Single seater

The cool and sporty character of the R 12 S is emphasised by the single-seater rear with paintwork in Lava orange metallic and red double linework on brushed aluminium.

  • Your throne: the seat

On the black seat with orange contrast stitching, you can conquer the streets in comfort.

  • Aerodynamic eye-catcher: the front

All eyes on the captivating design: The front trim panel in a bright colour extends forwards dynamically.

  • Up to date: comfort and safety

With adaptive headlights, the Headlight Pro ensures optimal visibility in any lean angle. Thanks to the comfort package, you can enjoy safety and comfort on the road.

  • Modern retro: the dual round instrument

Precise measurements with the stylish dual round instrument.

  • S means fun: Airbox badge with a red S

Like with our legendary role model, the S signifies fun, sportiness, and an appreciation for special things in life.
