That wonderful boxer engine is just iconic. Beautiful smooth grunt off idle in the rev range that most people spend 95% of their time in.👍

Chad’s got a doppelgänger with the same name over at Bike World! What a coincidence!

Brought one like you tested in Nov 2023. Due in Australia in Early April. Nice change from my GSA which for a mature rider like me was getting a bit too heavy. Taken by the great looks, so I was an easy sale. 😁

Question, how is comfort on long journeys? Do you rely a lot on your wrists? beautiful motorcycle, but once I had a sore back

I ride an 2012 R1200R Classic and it's a great bike. it's opened the eyes of guys on bikes with more HP with it's speed and handling. in a straight line she's not the fastest, but no one is waving bye bye in the curves and twisties.

Matrix black cat déjà vu feeling all over again. 😊

Good job, I just picked up an R12 (Cruiser), love it. BTW, that key is just for the fork lock, nothing else...

Hey guys, thank you and yes,it brings me always a big and very happy smile in my face if I ride this beautiful new bike. 😊 It needs weeks to get it out of my face 😂😊 But the rides never get out of my happiness ❤ Greeting from West Germany 😊

This cell phone hanging from the handlebars, this guy is definitely not one of us, thanks for the video.

Does the riding experience feel different when compared to the last-gen BMW R NineT?

I'm guessing, a bit of Spanish weather in Blighty might also help. Im off to find myself a garage!

The last sentence says it all :)

Beautiful Sunny Spain ,beautiful roads, beautiful bike, everything is beautiful, Sunglasses, T Shirt, what's not to like 😉 No fuel gauge, No Mudguards, No Crash bars, Huge Service bills, Huge Price. Bit of Marketing going on here eh. I wouldn't like to be cleaning that bike after a ride on UK Flooded roads covered in pot holes 😅 Imagine the muck and dirt splattered all over that engine with that budget front mudguard 😮although I'd imagine this luxury item wouldn't see a rainy day. Great bike though, l love it 😀

Well said.

Does it have a fuel gauge? Nav system keyless start no fuel gauge just doesn't make sense

Like the one where the rear fender is closer to the tire,whatever trim that is.

Will there be a review of the normal R12? Can’t seem to find anything about that because everything seems to be overshadowed by the NineT version

It was just the R12 nineT on the launch, alongside the F 900 GS and M 1000 XR

Can you confirm if it has a fuel gauge? I thought not, but you mentioned seeing the range on the dash!

No it doesn't have one, but it does tell you what you are getting to the gallon ... i know stupid ... was looking at this Richard at Shipley bmw said if your not worried about the clocks and if it was my money... he said bang for buck, he would buy a R1250R 23plate ... if you can test ride one do ... lol ... i brought one ... was going to get spoked wheels for it but went for standard in the end

There are two trip gadges .ONe for range .. I think they say around 190 miles to dry ..

I forgot to add, no mention of the lack of fuel gauge. Whilst it might be understandable on a bike with analogue clocks, with a digital option, it's inexcusable. Come on BMW

Are you serious? They want £15/£16k for a bike and you have to work out how much fuel you have from your trip meter. It's a joke. Genuinely considering one but this is a huge negative for me @@johnnunn8688

The moto Guzzi V100 Mondello is the equivalent to this BMW R12. Which bike is the equivalent made by Ducati and Triumph ? The Ducati multistrsda is an adventure bike, so that’s not it. Is it Ducati Street fighter V4 ? Is the Triumph Rocket 3 the equivalent or the T120 or the Speed Twin 1200 ?

Definitly the V100 Mandello, and I would think also the Triumph Speed Twin.

If someone could explain how this is better than the 25 year old R1100R I'd love to hear it. edit: 6 speed.. I got it

Any info regarding fuel gauge?

@@christianburger25 That sucks. Anyway, thanks for the info 👍.

I’ve put many thousands of kilometers on Boxers and I’m over the moon with the bike’s aesthetics. But, the one thing that keeps my wallet in my pocket? Dry clutch; it even sounds like a medical condition. Despite all my efforts, I couldn’t bring myself to pretend the dry clutch gave a Boxer “character” - for sure chatter, clunkiness, and cursing - but character? Nope. I’d love to be wrong and welcome opinions to the contrary . . .

BMW hasn't been paying attention, no fuel guage again on this version so I won't bother to upgrade my 2017 R9T

Cool bike but whoa...your riding position is just atrocious in the corners. I winced every time.

I would get rid of these crappy mirrors right away as I did on my f 800 gs in 2012. They are dangerous. Why they still produce them ?

Nice bike but they left the one thing I don't like, the Boxer engine. I prefer the Speed Twin 1200.😊

Have you ridden a boxer? They rock. I’ve got a GSA, and to be frank, the engine is superb, and the best part of the bike.

Really expensive for a back to basics bike. I'll stick with my speed twin 1200. ..unless i got one for free lol

I'd say it's a downgrade from the old one in performance. With the same wheels and same amount of fuel it's about 6kg heavier, has less torque (made higher in rpm range), less power, longer wheelbase, more relaxed fork rake, lower back end, and smaller brakes than the outgoing bike. What am I missing. The rider aids and modes are just not necessary or value adding on this bike.
