Heritage

Modern classics

Some call the bikes retro, vintage or classics. We call them Heritage. A glance at the iconic design and the unmistakable boxer engine shows that it’s about design, handling, minimalist design. It’s a way of life. And if you want to go even further: our Heritage models are the perfect basis for customising.

Striking design

We have consistently evolved and modernised the iconic features of our early motorcycles. Unmistakable: the dominant boxer engine, the striking fuel tank shape and the iconic front end.

Vibrant history

The Heritage models showcase our vibrant history in motorcycles: from the first ABS, to the boxer punch, right up to the accessories – innovations for perfect handling and optimal riding experience.

Vibrant community

We love bends, working on our bikes, the odour of the workshop, genuine craftsmanship, vintage styles and music. Whether you’re customising or enjoying a trip – it’s more fun together.

The R 12 family

Legends live longer. The R 12 models bring an unmistakable look to the road with their minimalist design language and unique roadster style. They are powered by a next stage of evolution of the Boxer engine. Otherwise, hardly a screw was left in its thread during development. The backbone designed for customising with a classic tubular spaceframe has been completely redeveloped. Can you hear the call? Express your inimitability.
