We found a magnificent example that was being prepared at MC Oslo on Vollebekk and we just had to share these impressions – because you’ll probably be looking for beauty for a long time.

The R 12 S brings the legacy of the seventies power-house legend R 90 S to us. Note that there are not many of this model, so the owner of this particular individual must therefore be considered extremely handy and the editors can only offer their congratulations. You’ll have to look long and hard to find beauty wrapped in modern technology. A modern boxer with shift-cam technology, 109 hp and a bucket full of hefty newton meters is just to connect directly to the term “driving experience”. The Image pump is painted orange as a statement and there are more than just the guys who will turn around to say so. This time we’ll leave the words alone, just enjoy the pictures. PS: notice the rims.

If you lose your courage and impulse control, just take a trip to MC Oslo’s new store at Vollebekk and we’re sure you’ll find a good substitute for this particular bike.

We congratulate the owner once again we =0)
