Wazzup Pilipinas!

The new R nineT: refined roadster with boutique manufacturing character. When BMW Motorrad launched the R nineT in 2013, it was clearly more than just a roadster based on a classic role model. From the outset, the R nineT combined classic motorcycle design and modern technology with sophisticated craftsmanship, as demonstrated by the aluminium fuel tank with brushed side surfaces, for example. In numerous components, the model also reflected the R nineT team's fond attention to detail. The new R nineT likewise radiates this boutique manufacturing character, supported by a range of optimised features.

The new BMW Heritage model features the potent, air/oil-cooled boxer engine with a capacity of 1170 cc and an output of 81 kW (110 hp) combined with a 6-speed gearbox. It is designed to meet the requirements of the EU4 pollutant class. Its exhaust system in stainless steel with the tailpipe positioned on the left reflects classic styling.

Modular frame concepts with individual scope for customising. Modular frame concepts provide great scope for altering the appearance and character of the BMW boxer model according to individual preference, for example by adding different seats from the range of BMW Motorrad accessories. The frame comprises four components as before: a front main frame, a rear main frame, a removable end piece and a detachable passenger frame.
