On May 11, 2023, BMW Motorrad officially announced the successor to the beloved R nineT called the R 12 nineT. While the look is very much in keeping with the styling you’ve come to know and love on the R nineT over the past decade, the 12 is indeed indicative of a new 1200cc boxer engine with redesigned intake and exhaust that will power the next generation of the family.
BMW timed the introduction of the R 12 nineT to celebrate its 100 Years of BMW Motorrad—as well as the ten-year anniversary of the introduction of the original BMW R nineT. Since BMW is only teasing this upcoming model at the moment, full details aren’t yet available, but here’s what we know so far.
