The BMW R 12

The R 12 embodies the unique coolness of a cruiser. In addition to the cruiser flyline that slopes down towards the rear, the equipment is of course also responsible for the relaxed riding experience, allowing you to surf through cities and along country roads in laid-back style. This casual bike is powered by an air/oil-cooled 1,170-cc boxer engine, which provides plenty of torque and nice acceleration at low revs. You can find out everything else that comes with the #Soulfuel bike here.
