Making its debut in the Malaysia motorcycle market is the 2025 BMW Motorrad R12, priced at RM123,000 and available in Aventurin Red Metallic paint. The R12 carries the iconic BMW Motorrad boxer engine, and follows the lines set out by the first R nineT back in 2013 but as a single-seater.
Coming with an all-new trellis frame and sub-frame made from tubular steel, the R12’s frame shaves weight, differing from the original R nineT’s front and rear cast main frame. As with the rest of the R12 and R nine T lineup, customisation is the intended purpose, allowing the owner to stamp his or her personality on the bike.
Unchanged is the boxer-twin from the previous generation R nineT, displacing 1,170 cc. Power is rated at 109 hp at 7,000 rpm with 115 Nm of torque in the R12 nineT and 95 hp at 6,500 rpm with 110 Nm of torque in the R12.
For the R12, the fuel tank is made of steel, mimicking the “Toaster Tanks” of the 1970s BMW /5 models. The relaxed seating position with low seat height and wide handlebars is classic cruiser style, along with the 19-inch front and 16-inch rear wheel.
Coming with LED lighting all-round, the R12 also gets BMW Motorrad’s Adaptive Headlight Pro system and Dynamic Brake Lights, ensuring maximum visibility day or night. The electronic riding suite includes two ride modes – Rock and Roll – as well as Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), BMW Motorrad ABS Pro with optimised banking angle, and Gear Shift Assistant Pro.
Standard equipment includes Cruise Control, Hillstart Control, Gear Shift Assistant Pro and Heated Grips. There is also the Keyless Ride system, USB charging port, and Connected Ride Control for riding convenience.
