The Bavarians have *finally* given us pricing for America on their 2024 R 12 and R 12 nineT.
A little bit about BMW’s Classic 2024 R 12/nineT duo
Back in Q4 of 2023, our good Bayerische Motoren Werke chucked a revamped R12 cruiser, and the beautifully versatile R 12 nineT roadster.
These bikes were perfectly positioned to cater to Beemers countrywide; with the R 12 claiming 95 hp @ 6,5000rpm (81lb-ft @ 6,000rpm) and the R 12 nineT claiming 109hp @ 7,000rpm (85lb-ft of torque @ 6,500rpm), BMW had given us the perfect pair to look forward to for the coming riding season.
