Cruise as you are

You don't have to dream of California. This cruiser brings this unique vibe right to your doorstep. Its low seat height invites you to hop on immediately. As a road surfer, you might want to give your ears some fitting music to listen to. And then: riding towards an endless horizon. Alternatively, you may simply want to listen to the sound of the boxer engine and let its drive system roll you through cities or rock around winding country roads. Enjoy this unique #Soulfuel feeling – life is easy on the R 12.

Laid back instead of fast forward
