R12 G/S Enduro

Looks cool, am curious if it make any difference at motorway speeds!

I’m happy to report that after a six hour ride down to the Eurotunnel at Folkestone from Durham on mainly motorway and A roads the Enduro fairing made a huge difference . It reduces the wind noise and buffeting significantly, I’m really happy I decided to get it

I’m struggling to see much difference .

It only looks less than 10cm taller ?

Maybe the vents assist, in addition to slightly elongated uplift?

(You know all about flaps & slats!!)

I thought the same when I fitted it but all I can say is that for me it’s night and day difference !

I think you could be right , the designer certainly hit the mark for my height/riding position

It does look good . Might have to try one at some point but needs to have the enduro pack as standard bike felt too small .
It’s the only current BMW I’d consider buying though it’s still a bit expensive IMHO

You'd have think that they would have access to wind tunnel test facilities to sort this accurately - especially at the price for the part!

Have a safe, great trip.

There’s a few people on here would love to be 10cm taller

Rode through France , Belgium , Netherlands and into Essen in Germany . The more I ride the R12 the more I like it , keeps pace with the R1250GS’s and Stelvios in the group no problem

Brimming the tank I’m getting about 120 miles and the fuel light comes on and I’ve done another 20 miles then bottled out and fuelled up , so I think the best you would get is around 150 . That said after a couple of hours I’m ready for a break anyway

How much is the Enduro fairing coming in at - can’t seem to find it listed anywhere, but think it will be my next mod.

TIA

 

[nicholsonj2252]

I paid £180 for it

Looking great John! Mines coming this week I hope !!

A very wet ride up to Hamburg from Essen and a crash on the A1 about 30K from Hamburg which resulted in a huge queue of traffic so had about 3K of filtering . R12 didn’t miss a beat and the onboard computer is reporting 55mpg . Other than the last bit on the A1 kept to all the back roads so had some nice roads and some good coffee stops

Cracking ride from Hamburg to Spandau Berlin keeping off the motorways and using mainly the B5 . Even better we had good weather . Sat in the Spandau Brau Haus having dinner . BMW Factory tour tomorrow and then into Poland

Nice trip! Range seems workable. On par with the X-Country.

Is the Unit Garage a bigger tank or just a cover?
