STRONG CHARACTER. DYNAMIC. AIR-COOLED.
The R nineT Racer lets you relive the era of legendary superbikes. Far removed from obsessive retro romanticism, but rather on a customizable bike with innovative technology and in customary BMW Motorrad quality. Crouched behind the striking half fairing, both hands tight on the low-slung handlebar grips, you can feel the powerful boxer work, you hear its unmistakable roar. And you already know: only a strong character can hold the racing line. On the road, as in life.

Features
- STYLE IN THE FAST LANE: The design of the R nineT Racer unmistakably takes inspiration from the motorsports bikes of the 70’s. The elongated proportions extend through the entire design and promise pure acceleration. The distinctive half-shell fairing, the tank and the seat shape the slim silhouette. The long wheelbase and the low-slung handlebars positioned far to the front complete the low, sporty seating position. Then the high-set, far back footrests: as a rider, you lean into an aggressive riding position. Surrounded by the white bodywork, which clearly stands out against the dark driving parts and technology. Even the BMW Motorsports colors seem to constantly call for the next corner.
- A POWERFUL BOXER FOR CHASING THE RACING LINE: The R nineT Racer's technology is just as confident and strong as its design: the drive and the vehicle electrical system have thrilled since the BMW R nineT. Being state-of-the-art, the R nineT Racer also meets the EU-4 standard. The powerful air-cooled, two-cylinder boxer engine features a capacity of 1170 cc and 110 hp (81kW) of output for a highly dynamic power delivery, even at low speeds. Simply a boxer. Thanks to the half fairing and the low seating position, you can even enjoy wind protection whatever pace you are riding. The standard ABS and optional ASC add confidence while riding.
- HALF SHELL IN TYPICAL RACER LOOK: A direct reference to the era of classic sport motorcycles.
- TAPE IN TYPICAL BMW MOTORSPORT COLORS: Emphasizing the horizontal linear style - from the front trim panel, to the fuel tank and the seat hump.
- SPEEDOMETER AND REV COUNTER: Round instrument design; classic look and feel, easy to-read.
- RACING SEAT HUMP WITH SMALL STORAGE COMPARTMENT: Underlines its sporty leaning right from the outset.
- CAST ALLOY WHEELS: The wheels blend perfectly into the dynamic appearance of the R nine T.
- DISTINCTIVE LINE STYLE: The slim rear section consistently rounds off the contours of the R nineT Racer.
- "NINET" LOGO ON AIR INLET: An unmistakable indicator of its family heritage.
- STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST SYSTEM: With a striking design for a rich sound.
- YOU RIDE LIKE YOU SIT - SPORTY AND DYNAMIC: the R nineT Racer's handlebars are positioned low on the upper fork bridge. The moderate offset protects the wrists. The footrests, on the other hand, have made their way backwards and upwards to support the sporty seating position. In addition, the optional custom rider's seat lowers the seat height from 31.7” to 31.2”. The cushion on the rider's seat is slightly raised at the rear. This provides perceptible relief for the back on long rides.
