2024 BMW R12 full UK review - finding the cornering limits!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Bit of a late upload - but earlier this year I spent nearly a month with the BMW R12, riding it around the UK and enjoying its blend of handling and low-down torque. In this video I hop over to Portugal for some faster, more dynamic riding to find the limits of this feet-forward boxer-twin cruiser - and to deliver my final verdict on this surprisingly loveable bike.

"The swinging dong of price" made me choke on my breakfast. Well done!
£15,000 for a wonderful bike that is uncomfortable after 40 miles? Only in Surrey, which is quite small.

To be fair, I know a mate who's ridden one to Assen and back. But he has a particularly calloused posterior
I wanted to have that bike so bad until I saw the R12 NineT next to it 🥴👌
would love this bike as a bobber, seems it would require aftermarket parts though
It never ceases to amaze me how BMW continue to take the absolute !@#$ with their pricing; they provide a bare minimum spec and then charge you through the nose for common sense stuff like a fuel gauge and/or rev counter? This is the main reason why they'll never get my custom, even though they offer some fantastic bikes.

Agree, but you can buy second hand, let someone else take the depreciation hit. But it's why I think CF Moto are going to rock the market.

Sounds like you can't afford one when you put it like that ;) (I can't either)

2 years old and buy it for thousands cheaper. My 11K new bought for 4 grand less 2 years in...

Better than what Triumph offers.. at least for me since they were the same price 😒
This or an Indian Scout Bobber? Like the R18, if you can't put your feet forward it's just not quite right

I chose this 😄
I salute your "those about to Rock, we salute you" comment!!! ;) :D Were you perhaps "Thunderstruck" with this bike!!?? ;) ;) :D :D :D Question is, are you going to "Ride On" this bike? ;) ;) :D :D (your comments have "Shook me all night long", but then, I'm a "Probelm Child" :D :D )

agree its ugly
Matt black, good old austerity.🤮💩
Hey, remove the fuckin' "Angstnippel" and all will be good! 😁
so many people in the comments hating on my bike ☹️
Those handle bars are bloody hideous. Gold just looks plane tacky.
Something about this bike just doesn't harmonize.Its not a cruiser not a sport-bike not a power anything....Just feels designed by office pencil pushers.Nothing inspiring and tank shape pretty ugly. I rather get the regular R9T
That rear fender is ugly… Bobber style would have made it look even better. R9T tank design is better. 👍
No. No. No. If you want this kind of bike just buy an Indian Chief or a Harley Low Rider. They ride better, have tons more character and they also bother to tell you how much fuel you have left. They also have much better V Twin engines.

@@matheuslcintra My point is they are in the same class as the BMW and aimed at the same market. They just do it better.
