BMW R NineT full specs and pics

The R NineT was created to celebrate 90 years of BMW motorcycles. As a result it features an air-cooled boxer twin, a favored motor used by BMW in many of its successful models. Power output is around 110bhp and 119nm. 






One look at the R NineT and immediately the classic cafe racer design takes hold. This design is loved by motorcycle enthusiasts, classic bike lovers and hipsters, but importantly I think it will strike a chord with even the most hardcore of motorcycle fans. I for one love it, especially the short tail version. 

Whats even more impressive is that BMW themselves say that they encourage owners and aftermarket parts manufacturers to modify the R NineT as you please. 





Take a look at some of the design variants below, this means that no two R NineT's will look the same, very cool.
