The all-new BMW R 12 G/S brings legendary heritage into the modern adventure motorcycle world. Inspired by BMW’s iconic Dakar racers, the R 12 G/S combines classic styling with today’s technology, creating a motorcycle that’s just as comfortable exploring gravel roads as it is carving backroads or commuting through town. Its 1,170cc air/oil-cooled boxer engine delivers the unmistakable torque and character that BMW riders love, making it one of the most exciting retro-inspired adventure bikes on the market.

Whether you’re planning weekend escapes or cross-country adventures, one thing is certain: every great ride deserves great protection. That’s why Touratech USA has developed a great lineup of BMW R 12 G/S accessories designed to help riders tackle every mile with confidence.

The foundation of any adventure-ready motorcycle starts with protection, and the Touratech Engine Crash Bars for the BMW R 12 G/S are built for exactly that. Constructed from premium stainless steel, they shield the exposed boxer cylinders from costly damage while maintaining excellent ground clearance and a clean factory appearance. Available in Black or Red, riders can customize the look of their bike while adding serious protection. An optional Tech Plate increases rigidity and adds convenient mounting points for accessories, making these the best BMW R 12 G/S crash bars available.

Adventure riders always need room for gear, and the Touratech Rear Tail Rack creates a sturdy platform for duffel bags, camping equipment, dry bags, or everyday cargo. Whether you’re heading out for an overnight trip or a month-long expedition, it’s a practical addition that increases your bike’s versatility.

Rounding out the essentials is the Large Sidestand Foot, one of those upgrades you’ll appreciate every time you park. By increasing the sidestand’s footprint, it helps prevent your BMW R 12 G/S from sinking into soft dirt, sand, gravel, or hot pavement—making campsite stops and roadside breaks far less stressful.
