The R 12 G/S just got a new black colorway. The boxer twin's shape stays the same, but it's amazing how much the color alone changes its whole expression. Picturing a bike that translates classic GS grammar into the modern era standing out at a venue in Brazil gets me pretty excited.

Is the difference between the R12 and R12 GS basically just the suspension and off-road capability?

Suspension travel and wheel size differ—the GS leans more off-road.

Looks rugged, but this kind of classic-styled bike seems like it'd be easy over long distances.

Was this announcement at Capital Moto Week for a Brazil-exclusive color?

しん@250AIJul 22, 2026

The wording makes it sound like a limited release tied to the local event, so maybe we just wait and see how it rolls out.

Black suits the Classic GS way too well, it's almost unfair.

A new black colorway—honestly kind of feels like 'here we go again.'

The fact that the air/oil-cooled boxer is still going strong is what makes the R12 series great.
