Our good Bavarian bike builders have finally gifted us their next-gen 2024 R 12 / R 12 nineT for a new season of scoot-happy shenanigans.
Let’s dive in and see what BMW’s gifted us as we smash headlong into Black Friday 2023, yeah?
According to BMW’s press release, the 2024 R 12 sports a new, 1,170cc air/oil-cooled 2-cylinder DOHC boxer engine capable of 95hp @ 6,500rpm and 81lb-ft of yank @ 6,000rpm, while the R 12 nineT’s similar heart shows off 109hp @ 7,000rpm and 85lb-ft of yank @ 6,500rpm.

The punt-worthy efforts are joined by a new, neat, one-piece trellis bridge steel chassis that is lighter and connects to a bolt-on rear subframe; in the words of a designer at BMW’s Vehicle Design:
Both bikes sport a 45mm USD fork at the front (adjustable for the R 12 nineT), while the rear floating duties are handled by the BMW Motorrad Paralever rear suspension with pre-load adjustment.
Suspension travel matches front to back for each bike, by the way; that means 4.7” for BMW’s R 12 nineT and 3.5” for BMW’s R 12.

For brakes, we’ve got twin 310mm discs mated to two radially-mounted, 4-piston monobloc calipers at the front, and a single, 265mm disc aligned to a 2-piston floating caliper at the back.
The entire package rolls out on cast light-alloy wheels measuring 3.50 x 17″ / 5.50 x 17″ (R 12 nineT) and 2.75 x 19″ / 4.00 x 16″ (R 12), respectively.

It’s BMW, so electronics are hefty and extensive, and they now speak through a brand new set of larger, round instruments. The R 12 nineT gets Rain, Road, and Dynamic Mode, while BMW’s R 12 gets an updated bit of fun via “Rock” and “Roll” Modes.
Here’s the full deal of electronic perks you’re getting with BMW’s 2024 R 12 and R 12 nineT:
The following electronic perks are optional:

Add Adjustable Handbrake and Clutch Levers, USB-C and 12-volt power sockets, full LEDs and that’s it; BMW’s dynamic duo are ready to rumble with the following color schemes:
Expect these two machines to reveal their prices closer to their market debut at the start of 2024.
