Recent news and announcements

I've been tracking the BMW 2025 R 12 S closely for the Indian market, and while it's not yet officially launched here, expectations are building around its arrival as a premium heritage sportster priced around 22-24 lakh ex-showroom, potentially pushing on-road figures to 26-30 lakh in Delhi based on sibling R 12 pricing at 23.33 lakh. This model draws direct inspiration from the iconic 1970s R 90 S with its Lava Orange Metallic finish, cockpit fairing, and retro styling, powered by the familiar 1170cc air/oil-cooled boxer twin delivering 95hp at 6500rpm and 110Nm at 6000rpm, mated to a six-speed gearbox and shaft drive. At 227kg kerb weight with a 14-litre tank and 754mm seat height, it promises agile handling on Indian roads, enhanced by lean-sensitive ABS Pro, traction control, three riding modes—Rain, Road, Dynamic—Shift Assistant Pro, Hill Start Control, keyless ignition, and adaptive headlights. Optional packs like Comfort with heated grips and cruise control add appeal for long rides through twisties or highways, blending that classic boxer punch with modern tech perfectly suited for enthusiasts craving sporty retro vibes amid India's premium bike scene. Deliveries could start mid-2026 via BMW Motorrad dealerships, making it a standout against rivals like Triumph or Ducati heritage offerings.

I've been closely following the BMW 2025 R 12 S, and in India, it's generating buzz with an expected price tag around Rs 19.90 lakh ex-showroom in Delhi, positioning it as a premium heritage sportster from BMW Motorrad's lineup. This variant draws inspiration from the iconic R 90 S, featuring a Lava Orange Metallic finish, red 'S' logos on side panels, dual red pinstripes, and contrast-stitched single-seater saddle, all paired with a handlebar-mounted fairing and tinted windshield for that retro-sport edge. Powering it is the familiar 1170cc air/oil-cooled boxer twin pumping out 95 hp at 6500 RPM and 110 Nm at 6000 RPM, mated to a 6-speed gearbox with shaft drive, offering three modes—RAIN, ROAD, DYNAMIC—for versatile Indian roads. Standard goodies include lean-sensitive ABS Pro, DTC traction control, Shift Assistant Pro, Hill Start Control, keyless ignition, adaptive headlights, and a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty, with a kerb weight of 227 kg, 14L tank, and 31.3-inch seat height suiting spirited urban blasts and highway cruises. While launch details remain pending, its blend of classic styling and modern tech makes it a standout for enthusiasts craving that boxer thrum amid rising demand for exclusive cruisers here.
February 7, 2026
I've been tracking the BMW 2025 R 12 S closely for the Indian market, and while it's not yet officially launched here as of early 2026, BMW Motorrad India is expected to introduce this heritage-inspired boxer soon after its global debut. Drawing from the R 12 nineT platform, it packs a 1170cc air/oil-cooled flat-twin engine tuned for 95 hp at 6500 rpm and 110 Nm at 6000 rpm to meet local emissions, paired with a six-speed gearbox and shaft drive for that signature smooth pull. Priced around Rs 19.9 lakh ex-showroom in Delhi based on sibling models, on-road figures could hit Rs 23-25 lakh with taxes and registration, positioning it as a premium pick against rivals like the Triumph Speed Twin. Key India-specific highlights include three riding modes—Rain, Road, and Dynamic—for monsoon adaptability, lean-sensitive ABS Pro, traction control, keyless ride, and a 14-litre tank suiting long highway rides. At 227 kg kerb weight and 795 mm seat height, it's accessible for most riders, blending 1970s R 90 S retro styling with modern tech like adaptive headlights and Shift Assistant Pro. I anticipate deliveries starting mid-2026 at major BMW dealerships in metros, making it ideal for enthusiasts craving torque-rich cruising on Indian roads.
February 7, 2026
I've been tracking the BMW 2025 R 12 S closely for the Indian market, and it's shaping up as a premium heritage cruiser with an expected ex-showroom price around ₹19.9 lakh in Delhi, potentially climbing to ₹22-24 lakh given its sportier features over the standard R 12 at ₹19.9-20.9 lakh. This 1170cc air/oil-cooled boxer twin pumps out 95hp at 6500rpm and 110Nm at 6000rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox for that signature BMW punch on our twisty highways. I love how it pays homage to the 1970s R 90 S with Lava Orange Metallic paint, adaptive headlights, front trim panel, and a single-seater tail, while packing modern India-relevant tech like lean-sensitive ABS Pro, traction control, keyless ride, three modes—Rain, Road, Dynamic—plus Shift Assistant Pro and Hill Start Control. At 227kg kerb weight, 754mm seat height, and 14L tank, it handles urban traffic and long rides comfortably, though on-road costs could hit ₹26-30 lakh with taxes and insurance. Recent updates confirm its 2025 arrival here, blending retro style with everyday usability that Indian riders craving exclusivity will snap up fast.
February 7, 2026
BMW has announced that the R 12 S will be available in the European market from February 2025, with a UK price tag of £18,460. This model is based on the R 12 nineT roadster and brings a seventies-inspired cafe racer style to the table. It includes features like ABS Pro, Dynamic Traction Control, and heated grips as part of its comfort package. I believe the retro look will appeal to a specific niche of riders who value both style and performance.

December 2, 2024
The BMW R 12 S, although not explicitly mentioned in the sources for its Indian market pricing, can be estimated based on the pricing of its siblings. Given that the BMW R 12 and R 12 nineT are priced at 19.9 lakh and 20.9 lakh respectively, it is reasonable to expect the R 12 S to be priced slightly higher due to its additional features and heritage design. A likely price range could be around 22-24 lakh ex-showroom. On-road prices would include additional costs such as registration, insurance, and other local taxes, potentially pushing the total to around 26-30 lakh. This pricing reflects the premium nature of the bike and its position within BMWs Heritage range.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The mileage of the BMW R 12 S in India is expected to be similar to its siblings, given the same engine and similar weight profiles. With an estimated fuel tank capacity of around 14 litres, and considering the bikes power output and riding dynamics, one can expect a mileage of around 15-20 kml in mixed riding conditions. This is reasonable for a powerful and heavy motorcycle, and running costs will be manageable for those who prioritize performance and style over fuel efficiency.
