About This Motorcycle

“On 14 February 1935, BMW presented the R12 together with the R17 at the German Automobile Exhibition in Berlin for the first time, being a direct successor to the BMW R11. This and the R17 were the first in the world to be produced with hydraulically damped telescopic forks. By 1942, the total number of BMW R12 motorcycles manufactured was 36,000. For military purposes, the single carburetor Einvergasermotor was only available for the R12. A BMW R12 is in the Museum of Military History in Vienna, in its original camouflage”.
