2026 BMW Motorcycle Guide From the Manufacturer:
BMW Motorrad USA is proud to unveil the new 2026 BMW R 12 G/S.
With long suspension travel, cross-spoke wheels, and a small, compact cockpit fairing, the new 2026 BMW R 12 G/S skillfully captures the spirit of the original R 80 G/S boxer-engine enduro in terms of design while transferring it into the present day with modern technology.
“With the new 2026 BMW R 12 G/S, BMW Motorrad is offering a classic enduro for puristic off-road fun. The abbreviation borrowed from the legendary R 80 G/S stands for ‘Gelände / Straße’ (Off-road / Street) and signals that the new member of the BMW R 12 family, masters both equally. We know that numerous fans have been eagerly waiting for this motorcycle.” Markus Lederer, Head of Boxer Series.

DESIGN
BMW Motorrad and off-road sport. This motorsport success story runs like a red thread through the company’s history. The torquey boxer engine, combined with a shaft drive has proven its winning power and durability in countless competitions.
However, it was not until 1980 that BMW Motorrad took the concept of an enduro with a boxer engine into series production. The BMW R 80 G/S was born. A production off-road bike that had never been seen before. Blessed with a high level of off-road expertise, superior touring capability and dynamic qualities for sporty road riding in equal measure. In short: The abbreviation G/S (“Gelände / Straße” meaning off-road and street) summed up the all-round qualities of the new motorcycle perfectly.
The resounding market success of the R 80 G/S ultimately established the completely new motorcycle segment of high-capacity touring enduros, which BMW Motorrad not only dominates to this day with the GS models, but also continues to develop further. At the same time, the Enduro provided a formidable basis for motorsport success, as BMW Motorrad’s commanding victories in the Paris-Dakar Rallye in the first half of the 1980s impressively demonstrated.
With a high front fender, cross-spoke wheels and small, compact cockpit fairing, the new 2026 BMW R 12 G/S captures the spirit of the off-road boxer enduro in the style of the R 80 G/S while bringing it into the present with modern technology. The R 12 G/S in Light White features a white fuel tank with contrasting light blue and dark blue knee pads, complemented by the red full-length seat, and the model name in fine red letters on the side panels of the airbox gives the 2026 R 12 G/S an appearance of being transported back in time to 1980.
