2017 BMW R NineT, VERY COOL....two-cylinder boxer..1170cc

2017 BMW R NineT Unmistakable. Original. Air-cooled.

Motorcycling as a sign of pure freedom: landscape, corners, straights. Every metre counts. This is precisely your path. The R nineT is the perfect companion and knows hardly any limits when it comes to your personal fulfilment also thanks to its countless customising possibilities. In so doing, the character of its air-cooled boxer engine irresistibly propels you forward in a way that can be clearly felt with its full torque curve together with state-of-the-art technology.

The upside-down fork can be adjusted manually for individual coordination: spring preload, pressure stage and compression stage suit you and your riding style. The newly designed double instrument with speedometer and rev counter informs you reliably about everything you need to know besides the riding enjoyment.

It almost sounds like a paradox, but despite its engine performance, the target here is relaxed deceleration with the fullest pleasure. The balanced ergonomic triangle and the still somewhat flatter steering head angle allow you to discover new routes while sitting up and yet staying relaxed.
