Good for?

Is the BMW R 12 good for beginners?

The BMW R 12 makes 70 kW (95 hp) @ 6500 rpm, so it is more bike than most riders want as a first motorcycle. It can be a great second bike once you have experience, and some markets sell a restricted version.

Is the BMW R 12 good for shorter riders?

Often yes. The 754mm seat height is on the lower side, so shorter riders frequently reach the ground with confidence. A low seat or lowering options can help further.

Is the BMW R 12 good for touring?

The BMW R 12's 14L tank means more frequent fuel stops on a long trip. It can still tour, but a larger or auxiliary tank helps on big miles.
