BMW looks to introduce a new R12 GS based on the current R12 with more off road suspension (unlike the Urban GS).

BMW already has an Urban GS, based on the R9T, as well as other variants, then the GS and GSA. Also, that bike is based on the Camhead GS, and not the R9 variants. More likely it is just an exercise. Do you have a link to the article?
I'd like to think it would replace the Urban GS.

Here's the article:
 
Maybe. . The description nearly perfectly matches the HP2 Enduro. I still think this is a test mule.

Move the airbox up, the battery where the ABS was and you are good.

My prediction is that, if it happens, it will be as popular as the HP2 and G450X. Basically a sales failure.
 
If BMW makes it more R80G/S and less HP2, it would probably sell. I'd be interested. I bought an Urban GS back in 2018 and was disappointed by the suspension. It was a roadster playing dress up.
