The '''R12''' was an air-cooled [[boxer twin]] [[four-stroke]] [[motorcycle]] produced by [[BMW]] from 1935-1942. 


The R12 along with its sister model, the [[BMW R17|R17]] were milestone models in the evolution of [[motorcycling]], being the first production machines to feature a hydraulically dampened [[telescopic front fork]].  This resulted in the R12 being the best selling pre-WWII [[:Category:BMW motorcycles|BMW motorcycle]], with 36,000 units sold from 1935 to 1942, with a great many going into [[:Category:Military motorcycles|military]] service.
