DescriptionThe whole story▼

The R 12 is BMW's boxer cruiser from 2024, low and relaxed, with its roots in the R nineT. Gilles lists the GTO-L tapered handlebar for it: a 755 mm wide, 28.6 mm aluminium bar with an 86 mm rise, in black or gold anodising.

A different stance

A cruiser is usually ridden with the feet forward and the arms reaching up. A wider, flatter bar changes that stance towards a roadster position, with more weight on the front and more leverage for bends. Try to picture the new position before you decide, because it changes the whole character of the bike.

Approval still to come

For the R 12 the German approval is in preparation; the current ABE does not yet list it. Please read the approval section and keep the bar for private ground until the extension is published.

Road Approval

Approval pending for the BMW R12. The current ABE No. KBA 91440 does not name this model, so we say it plainly: as things stand, the GTO-L is not road legal in Germany on this motorcycle without an individual acceptance. Please check this page again before fitting it.

Scope of Delivery

You receive a single GTO-L tapered bar in the colour you select. Grips, bar-end weights and controls are reused from the motorcycle and not included.
