- This is a new (retro) cruiser model from BMW for the 2024. This is a first impressions ride of the 2024 BMW R12. A 1200 cc cruiser bike from BMW Motorrad. It has an air/oil cooled boxer engine and it feels a comfortable machine. The styling and the design is something to admire. I think that this kind of bike was really needed for the BMW in 2024. It has some nice tech to offer and it rides like a dream. Here is what I think of this bike. Watch the video for more. 2024 BMW R12 first impressions.

I really like that bike Gregor. It would definitely be on my top 3 list if I were in the market for a bike. Back in 1983, I purchased a brand new BMW R80 RT. Then I traded it in for a 1985 same model. So I'm quite familiar with how good these boxers are. Is this a bike that would be on your list? Thanks for your time Gregor. Have a great day!! Cheers!!

These days I rode quite a lot of bikes. :) You will see them all soon. :)Thanks for the support Larry. Appreciate it. Somehow I didn't expect from the BMW to make a smaller cruiser this year. They already have the R18 that I already rode. I completely agree with you. It looks very good and the older boxers were almost perfect. :) Oh yeah... the R80 RT was quite popular. In my country was very expensive. :) It would be on my list. The only let down is the passenger seat. :) How many miles did you cover with the R80 RT?
@@RRRRefuelRideRace I don't remember exactly, but probably 35,000 mi. on each bike. We've had many bikes through the year's so it's hard to remember. Our summer vacations were always spent on motorcycle trip's. One time we went to the Pacific Coast to the state of Washington & up to Canada. That trip took 17 day's/ 5600 miles. We camped 50% & 50% motel room. Another time & I know you'll find this hard to believe; we was at it for 24 hours (stop/go) around the clock. Had a Honda Goldwing on that trip. Trisha would sleep on the back of the bike. I did another 24 hr. trip by myself one year while traveling to meet up with Trisha who spent a week @ job seminars. That particular 24 hr trip, I spent over 2 hrs. under a bridge when heavy rains caught me. I could go on & on, but I better end it here. Have a great day my friend! Cheers!! Illinois, USA
@@larrywade9041 That is a proper WILL to travel on a motorcycle. 24 hrs riding. Amazing. 35.000 miles is quite a lot. Usually people get bored earlier and sell the bike. :) Goldwings are really nice bikes. I never tried one, but would love to once. Could be also this year. Did you own a Yamaha FJR or Kawasaki GTR 1400 too? Thanks Larry. I wish you a nice day too and say hi to Trisha. Don't mention her that long rides, because I know that for the passenger is a totally different story. :)
@@RRRRefuelRideRace No, I never owned either of those 2 bikes. Mostly all my long distance was with BMW, Honda Goldwing, Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad, & Moto
Guzzi's. My one day cruise's were done on 750c.c. on down to 125c.c. bikes. These were all (4) Japanese brands. Only owned one Harley ; an R 1000 R.
@@larrywade9041 I see. A lot of Americans have HD bikes, but you had only one. :) Guzzis are really nice, if you like them. :)
Your brilliant Gregor!! I really liked/appreciated the "translate to English" choice. You'll have to do the reverse for those people who can't read English. I can't say that I viewed anybody else's channel who did that. So a big thumbs up to you my man!! GO GREGOR!!! Cheers!!!!
I am doing it with all my test ride and first impressions videos, but this time it seems that TH-cam did it automatically. When they see the potential, tehy do it. Thanks for the comment Larry. Appreciate it. The video that will be on Sunday is gonna be interesting. You will see. Cheers my friend.
@@RRRRefuelRideRace Can't wait to view your Sunday video my friend! Are you subscribed to Thommy_1983 channel? From Croatia I think? Your friends 2 wheel adventure turned me on to him. Only problem is that he doesn't have English sub-titles. I have a surprise (hopefully) for you in 2025. Cheers!!
I am following him for quite some time and I agree about the subtitles. :) I am curios about it. So, 2025. :) Cheers Larry.
@@RRRRefuelRideRace I am sorry, but I meant to write 2026. Trisha & I would like to meet you. Providing all stays well with our health as it is for us now. Anytime of the year would be o.k. I know that seems to be some time from now, but for us time is slipping away rather fast. If you elect warm weather month's, maybe trisha & I could rent a bike & ride with you somewhere. Our short plans would be to see some of the Balkan's/maybe Vienna. So i'm basically just throwing some thing's out there. Were open to any suggestion's that you might have. We would have made it this year, but "bankrupt pensioner" (youtube channel) is organizing a get together in Tenerife. which is the main Canary Island. That would be in March/April 2025. That's tentative right now.
@@larrywade9041 I see. No problem, even if it is 2026. I am ready. :) Vienna is great, I was there a few times and it is also quite close to Slovenia (it depends from the location, but in general a 4 to 5 hrs drive/ride). Renting a bike is a great idea, I just agree. I know about Tenerife. Great place. :) We can discuss it in detailes when you will have more info about the dates. Ljubljana, Vienna, Budapest... depends from your taste... Bratislava is only 90 km away from Vienna. Think about it. :) I am ready Larry and I will be happy to meet you both.
bro, been eyeing this bike for days!! i want it.
Yeah, you have to try it. Go for it. Thanks for tuning in bro.
Zanimljivo stajalište, pregledano 📽️
Hvala drug. Evo, u nedeljo nesto drugo... 😊
@@RRRRefuelRideRace dosta događanja kod vas , oko nas 😁
Real retro look! Somewhere in between,from a cruiser and the muscle bike!
I pretty much agree. A kind of a mutant., but well made. :) Thanks for the comment bro.
Thanks bro for sharing with us! I wish the channel all the best. All the best to you, my friend
Cheers 🥂
You are welcome bro. Appreciate your support. I rode quite a lot these days. :) More content of this kind is coming. :) Take care you too and all the best to you and your channel too. :)

Hi Gregor this 1200 cc bike is much better than the previous model of it got more usable down low toque excellent review 👍🏍️😎
I agree. It is a simple oil-head like they say. :) Thanks Derek. Appreciate it. There is more to come... are you ready? Joke.
@@RRRRefuelRideRace oh yes I’m am a ready 😁I think bmw are starting to get there bikes sorted for the purpose I like that one you ride I’ll never have an adventure bike again the ninja suits my needs in a motorbike good fuel long distances in comfort luggage as well was giving a good clean today and burnt my finger on the exhaust nothing serious looking forward to your next video bro 👍🏍️😎
@@SOLOMOTOUK All right. :) It is always good to try different bikes, different styles. You will have nice memories. I rode these days some bikes... how come that you burnt it? While cleaning? I have to clean mine soon. :)
@@RRRRefuelRideRace I ran the engine to help dry it then turned it off and I seen a bit off dirt on the cat so I rubbed it and the cloth moved hence my finger touching it red hot 👍🏍️😎
@@SOLOMOTOUK I can imagine. That is shit. Did you ride also with the GPZ these days?
The bike looks modern, yet has nice retro touches. Personally I don’t like how the cylinder heads stick out on the sides. Be safe bro.
Thanks for tuning in bro. It is combining the new and old. :) I like the look quite a lot. If only the seat for the passenger would be a bit bigger. :)
Da, evo, u nedeljo ideju Tomosi.
That's a beautiful bike! Great review!!
Thanks Roger. It is a bit of a surprise for this year. :)
✌️
Recently purchased R12 Option 719
Great bike, very pleased.
I believe you. You did a great thing. Take care of it. You can check my R1300gs video too. It is already ready. Feel free to sub if you like it. Cheers bro.
✌️
@@user-ps6ie9vr6d Thanks bro.
I get it. The Can-am has many models that really look very nice and you can even tour on them. Ok then. Yeah, see ya latet. ;)
Super predstavitev
Hvala, hvala. Lep stilski motocikel. :)
Dober motor prijetna voznja.
Lepo so ga izdelali, se strinjam. Hvala za ogled.
So this a Rock and Roll bike? With those modes... I already like it 😁
It is. ;) They named those riding modes in a very innovative way.
Full watch bro
Thanks bro. Appreciate it. I just came from filming. 😁😀
I am subscribed. I am watching his stuff too. I see. Well, I will have to wait till 2025 then. Will make the video visible very soon. Cheers.
To je BMW.
In še res je. :)
Mostly,these bikes are made for one person,and I do not know why is it so?!
Could be because of the style. :) I agree on that. You mostly see one rider on them. Thanks bro.
