    R 12 Pros and Cons

    • 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.
