BMW R12S

I really like the look of this and it's bound to go well, but £18,000?

I think it looks lovely.

Is it that expensive in the grand scheme of things? A premium bike for the same money as a poverty spec mass produced hatchback...

£18460 in the UK, only one colour available. Hmm.

Yep agreed, looks lovely that, just don't look at it from the front!

Engine is derived from the HP2 sport apparently.



A lot less than a 1300GS for a midlife crisis

Looks like a copy of the R90s from the 70's

I don't think it looks that great TBH.

Exactly as it's supposed to.

Quite nice, and I do like the latest tubeless spoked wheel design.
But £18k? Although owning a premium German vehicle has always had a bit of 'look what I can afford' about it.

I’ve always liked the r90s and I’ve owned a couple of r65s a r100cs and a r100rs ( in smoke red the best colour) but £18500 ! I can’t see them flying off the showroom floor.
