BMW R 12 Review

  • Good Things

    • 1170cc engine offers plenty of low-end torque
    • Gets top-spec electronics
    • Overall styling is quite aspirational
  • Could be Better

    • Priced quite high
    • Expensive to maintain, fix

BikeWale's Take

The R 12 from BMW is a high-end cafe racer primarily launched for developed markets in Europe and US. It is known for its 1170cc engine that offers plenty of low-end torque and also the electronics it comes with. But due to its premium brand tag, it is expensive to maintain and the service support is limited.
