Nix für Ü50? Die BMW R12nineT

Welcome to Mental Health Ride – where I combine my passion for motorcycles with honest talks about mental health and mindset. BMW stands for reliability and quality – but are they also "cool"? In this video, I take a close look at the brand-new BMW R12 (fresh from the BMW Haak dealership in Bochum). The R12 is marketed as a purist roadster, but what it's really capable of more than surprised me. I'll go into the technical details (1200 cc, 109 hp, 115 Nm), explain the customization options from the aluminum tank to the round instruments, and take you along on a test ride in the Ruhr area. Video Highlights: Technical Check: Everything about the engine, brakes (Brembo), and suspension (Marzocchi). Riding Dynamics: Why the "Dynamic Mode" transforms the R12 into a true sports motorcycle. Honest Conclusion: How comfortable is it on longer tours, and what about the knee angle? Looks: Somewhere between a classic design and Popeye's dog. Enjoy watching!
