On Nippy Normans Christmas email, a list of new bikes for 2025; a mid sized RT, a 1300 RT and ( fanfare) a R12GS. Hurrah!
New for 2025 BMW’s

It wasn’t on the website. It was on his Christmas email. Do you subscribe to his emails?
No I don’t. But thanks for clearing that up.
What’s the midsize RT that you mention. Is it an F series?
Yes, F800 GT and RT.
Any news on a 1300 RS ?
A 800 rt would definitely be a seller for the gentleman wanting to keep riding
The old F800GT (the follow on from the F800ST) got decent write ups, had belt drive and the peppy 90hp 800 parallel twin...didn't sell well though....(you can get a decent 19 plate for less than £5k from a dealer....or pay a chunk more for a GS that most will never off road) Maybe now is the time for it to do well (in the UK)
What's the R12GS all about then? Not a twin cam again surely?

Rumors of a new "R12GS" I've heard so many times already, dare I believe it's true? For years I have been thinking about building a "real GS" based on the Urban GS. If BMW finally builds one it will be the first time in many years that I consider buying a new BMW motorcycle. The, for me, complete twin-cam engine in a chassis that works off road!!. If it has 21" front wheels and good suspension components, I'll buy one. But like I said, I'll believe it when I see it. That a true GS would finally be built seems too good to be true.
Perhaps the r12gs will be like the ‘urban’ version of the R9t. Sounds interesting.
R1300RS sounds like it could be interesting.

Love Your bike!
R12GS could be interesting for some but I think the new R12S is cynical...Just a R Nine T in Daytona Orange with a nice looking half fairing as a new R1300S could/should have been the modern version of the R1100S !
As for the new R1300RT it still has Telelever which is great and hopefully the R1250R/RS replacements will go back to Telelever / fingers crossed too ! If BMW is smart they replace the R with a XR version of the GS and then add a S-portboxer as versatile and attractive the R90S and R1100S where in their days ! That would be exiting...LOL

especially if they went back to belt drive...
Bring back the HP2E.
