The BMW R12 is a motorcycle manufactured by BMW Motorrad, which is offered as the cruiser motorcycle R12 and as the roadster R12 nineT (with the English pronunciation ['naɪnti]). The name "R12", which had already been used by BMW for a motorcycle model from the 1930s, was re-protected by the manufacturer in 2021 in Germany and internationally in 2022.[1] Both models were presented at the end of November 2023 as the successor to the R nineT introduced ten years earlier.[2][3]
