WOODCLIFF LAKE, NJ – November 24, 2023 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – BMW Motorrad proudly introduces the new 2024 R 12 nineT and R 12 Classic Roadster and Cruiser.

With the introduction of the original R nineT in 2013, BMW Motorrad presented more than just a classic-style roadster. From the beginning, it combined classic motorcycle design and modern technology with craftsmanship and comprehensive customization options. It led to a whole family or Roadsters for the BMW Motorrad Heritage line.

The guiding principle for the development of the new R 12 nineT was “The Spirit of nineT”, with the goal of following in the footsteps of the successful R nineT and carrying forward its look, timelessness, and high customization qualities. While the new R 12 nineT as a classic roadster aims to make a stylish impression in urban environments as well as provide dynamic riding fun on winding roads, the new BMW R 12 comes under the motto “The Spirit of Easy” – perfectly embodying a classic cruiser for cool and relaxed riding.
