BMW R Nine T Racer


































The new BMW R nineT Racer and R nineT Pure: purist
roadster feeling and athletic dynamic performance based on
classic concepts.


For a lot of motorcycle fans, less is very often more
 which is why they opt for pure motorcycling and the kind
of motorbike that credibly and authentically embodies this
approach.
BMW Motorrad responded to this trend with the R nineT in
2013  a model that has enjoyed ongoing success and
popularity ever since. This was a good reason for the BMW
Motorrad team to follow up with the R nineT Scrambler in
2015, another fascinating specimen of classic motorcycle
design which once again received enthusiastic feedback.
Motivated by this positive response, BMW Motorrad now
presents the R nine T Racer and R nineT Pure  two
motorcycles that add two exciting new facets to the BMW
Motorrad Heritage world of experience: the roadster reduced
to the essentials and the classic, old-school half-faired
sports motorcycle. These are both concepts that were popular
in the 1960s and 1970s and continue to inspire nostalgia
among many motorcycle enthusiasts to this day.


Both the new BMW Heritage models feature the potent,
air/oil-cooled boxer engine with a capacity of 1 170 cc and
an output of 81 kW (110 hp) combined with a 6-speed
transmission. They are both designed to meet the
requirements of the EU4 pollutant class. The design of the
exhaust system in stainless steel with the rear silencer
positioned on the left reflects classic styling.
Modular frame with individual scope for customising.
On the suspension side, the R nineT Racer and R nineT
Pure make use of the modular steel tubular space frame
familiar from the R nineT Scrambler consisting of the three
components front main frame, rear main frame and removable
passenger frame. The latter provides flexibility to change
the appearance and character of the two BMW boxer models
according to preference, for example by adding different
seats from the range of Original BMW Motorrad Accessories.
Front wheel control is taken care of by a conventional
telescopic fork while at the rear the BMW Paralever comes
into use in conjunction with a central spring strut. The
five-spoke light alloy cast wheels in the sizes 3.5 x 17″ at
the front and 5.5 x 17″ at the rear have tires in the
dimensions 120/70 ZR 17 and 180/55 ZR 17 respectively.
4-piston brake calipers at the front along with floating
brake discs with a diameter of 320 millimetres and ABS
ensure secure deceleration. In order to prevent the rear
wheel from spinning on slippery roads, there is an ASC
(Automatic Stability Control) option which is available ex
works. Wire-spoked wheels are an option that further
emphasise the classic appearance.


R nineT Pure: purist roadster for dynamic, classic riding
pleasure on country roads.
The R nineT Pure embodies the essence of the purist,
classic roadster  authentically designed, without frills
and reduced to the absolute essentials. The design draws on
a blend of both classic and modern stylistic elements of
motorcycle construction combined with high-end details such
as footrests and fork bridges in forged aluminum with a
clear anodised finish.
The fuel tank and front mudguard of the BMW R nineT Pure
are finished in the color Catalano Grey non-metallic. In
combination with black for the suspension and drivetrain,
this color emphasises the purist character of the R nineT
Pure as a roadster for dynamic, classic riding pleasure on
country roads.
R nineT Racer: classic 1970s sports motorcycle feeling.
The R nineT Racer deliberately arouses memories of the
sports motorcycles popular in the early 1970s. Crouched,
compact and elongated, it conveys a sense of old-school
sporty aspiration with its strikingly short half-fairing,
hump seat, stub handlebars and set-back footrests, combining
this overall impression with modern technology.
In Lightwhite non-metallic combined with decor that is
reminiscent of past BMW Motorsport colours, the R nineT
Racer is particularly light and athletic in appearance. The
frame finished in Aluminium Silver prominently presents an
architectural contrast with the black drivetrain,
underscoring the standing of the R nineT Racer as an
old-school sports motorcycle designed for dynamic riding fun
on winding roads.


The highlights of the BMW R nineT Racer and R nineT Pure:
 Potent boxer engine with a capacity of 1 170 cc and an
output of 81 kW (110 hp) that meets EU4 requirements.
 Modular frame with scope for customising, allowing
individualisation according to personal taste.
 Five-spoke light alloy cast wheels, 3.5 x 17″ at front and
5.5 x 17″ at rear (optional wire-spoked wheels).
 320-millimetre twin disc brake at the front.
 ABS as standard.
 ASC (Automatic Stability Control) as an ex works option.
 2-in-1 exhaust system made of stainless steel (polished in
the Racer, brushed in the Pure).
 High-end details such as fork bridges and footrests in
forged, clear anodised aluminum.
 R nineT Pure in Catalano Grey non-metallic as a classic,
purist roadster.
 R nineT Racer with half-fairing, hump seat and set-back
footrests in the style of a 1970s sports motorcycle.
 R nineT Racer in Lightwhite non-metallic combined with
multi-coloured decor reminiscent of past BMW Motorsport
colours, with the frame in Aluminium Silver.
As supplied, the new BMW R nineT Pure also enables tours
with a pillion passenger. The seat height for the rider is
approx. 805 mm, which in conjunction with a narrow inside
leg width provides pleasant seat comfort for both rider and
passenger. If solo trips are planned, the Pure can be
converted to the aluminum riders hump seat with the
passenger frame dismounted, which makes the rear
particularly light in appearance. This highlights the
character of the R nineT Pure as an uncompromising riding
machine reduced to the essentials in the style of the 1960s
and 1970s. The range of Original


BMW Motorrad Accessories allows the R nineT Pure to be
modified according to personal taste by means of various
seat solutions.
Very much in the style of an early 1970s sports machine,
the R nineT Racer is supplied with space for a rider only,
who takes up a dynamic position on the one-man hump seat.
The seat height is approximately 805 millimetres. However,
BMW Motorrad has provided for all eventualities and allows a
pillion passenger to be carried by means of an additional
bolt-on passenger frame complete with passenger seat and
footrests, all of which is available as part of the range of
BMW Motorrad accessories.
Classic telescopic fork at front, Paralever at rear and
five-spoke light alloy cast wheels.
Front wheel control in both models is decidedly classic
in style with a conventionally designed telescopic fork
featuring a fork tube diameter of 43 millimetres and 125
millimetres of spring travel. Rear wheel control is taken
care of in well-proven fashion by means of a Paralever
single-sided swinging arm, as used in other boxer models of
the BMW Motorrad Heritage world of experience. A central
spring strut with the spring in a white finish is
responsible for suspension and damping, offering a spring
travel of 120 millimetres. The spring rest is adjustable and
rebound-stage damping can also be set to continuously
variable levels.
Both models come with light alloy cast wheels in the
sizes 3.5 x 17 inches at the front and 5.5 x 17 inches at
the rear, with tires of the dimensions 120/70 ZR 17 and
180/55 ZR 17 respectively. In order to enhance its classic
appearance, the R nineT Pure can alternatively be fitted
with wire-spoked wheels, which are optionally available as
part of the range of Original BMW Motorrad Accessories.
4-piston brake calipers at the front along with floating
brake discs with a diameter of 320 millimetres and ABS
ensure
secure deceleration in both models. In order to prevent the
rear wheel from spinning on slippery roads, there is an ASC
(Automatic Stability Control) option which is available ex
works.


BMW 3. Design and color concept.
Die R nineT Pure: purist roadster reduced to the
essentials. No frills, authentically designed and with all
the attributes that make a classic motorcycle  this is how
the R nineT Pure comes across not just in terms of
technology but also from the point of view of its paint
finishes and styling.
As was the case with the R nineT, one design objective
was to give the purist character a powerful presence and
express it stylishly using just a small number of skilfully
designed elements. The Pure likewise blends both classical
and modern elements of motorcycle styling, combining these
with high-end surfaces.
These include the painted 17-litre sheet-steel fuel tank
with an aluminum trim panel featuring an embossed R nineT
inscription which runs across the air intake duct on the
right-hand side. It has a clear anodised finish and creates
a striking technical contrast due to its finely brushed
surface. High-end classic details for a visual treat in
technical style. The R nineT Pure conveys a sense of
sophisticated workmanship in numerous details. For example
the fork bridges and the footrests are high-quality
aluminum forged parts with a surface which has been
glass-bead blasted and then given a clear anodised finish.
The likewise aluminum clamp of the double-butted aluminum
handlebars for perfect roadster ergonomics bears the BMW
Motorrad inscription, while boreholes are provided on the
steering head that allow attachment of a type plate
reminiscent of historical BMW motorcycles (Original BMW
Motorrad Accessory).
The circular headlamp with sheet steel casing and the BMW
emblem positioned centrally on the bulb cover also echo BMW
Motorrad history that now stretches back more than 90 years.
In corresponding style, the R nineT Pure is fitted with
white turn indicators and an LED rear light. The range of ex
works optional equipment and BMW Motorrad accessories allow
it to be fitted with LED turn indicators, too.
The instrument cluster perfectly matches the classically
reduced appearance of the R nineT Pure with a circular
speedometer featuring an analog display and integrated
indicator lamps. Housed in a high-quality metal casing, its
straightforward functionality is very much in keeping with
the reduced style of the classic BMW roadster. If desired,
the range of BMW Motorrad special accessories allows the
addition of a classic engine speed counter with analog
display. In addition, the R nineT Pure is fitted with an LCD
display that shows important information such as the time
and trip distance.


Classic, purist appearance in Catalano Grey non-metallic.

The fuel tank and front mudguard of the BMW R nineT Pure
are finished in the color Catalano Grey non-metallic.
Otherwise, black determines the classic, purist character of
the Pure on the suspension, engine and seat. Meanwhile,
numerous aluminum surfaces of varying structure create
fascinating contrasts and a marked classic appearance.
The R nineT Racer: classic sports bike in a cafÃ© racer
look.
When BMW showcased the BMW Concept Ninety on 24 May 2013
at the Concorso dEleganza Villa dEste, it also evoked
memories of the legendary BMW R 90 S  a motorcycle that was
synonymous with the desires of sports-oriented motorcyclists
of its day: with short-cut handlebar fairing and a hump
seat, it had sufficient power to reach a top speed of 200
kilometres per hour.
Today, the R nineT Racer brings to a serial production
model what the BMW Concept Ninety captured as a design
study: purist athletic flair, emotional design and
uncompromising styling as a classic sports machine that not
only inspires boundless motorcycling pleasure but also
instils a desire to customise.
Frame-mounted half-fairing, hump seat and set-back
footrests in the style of the sports bikes of the early
1970s.
Crouched, compact and elongated, the R nineT Racer
conveys a sense of old-school sporty aspiration with its
strikingly short, frame-mounted half-fairing on the steering
head, and combines this impression skilfully with modern
technology. In combination with the set-back footrests made
of forged aluminum, the stub handlebars positioned deeply
and mounted directly on the aluminum-forged, clear anodised
upper fork bridge force the rider into a dynamic seating
position. This is just what many motorcyclists in the early
1970s were looking for, resorting to the appropriate
conversion parts at the time.
An absolute must in this type of conversion was the hump
seat -just like the one featured on the R nineT Racer.
Modelled on the racing machines of that era, the hump seat
not only made for a very sporty style but was also designed
to give the rider optimum support when accelerating
dynamically.
This function is performed in the very same way today by
the one-man hump seat of the R nineT Racer with its
aluminum hump, and just as in bygone times it is combined
with the low, narrowly shaped half-fairing and the elongated
17-litre fuel tank to create a particularly sporty line.
What is more, the front view of the R nineT Racer is
especially slim and squat in style, determined by the
classic circular headlamp with the BMW emblem positioned
centrally on the bulb cover.
The typical cafÃ© racers of the 1970s always featured
analog circular instruments, and this detail is faithfully
reproduced in the R nineT Racer. In their simplicity, both
circular instruments follow the classic principles while
still making use of modern technology. For example the R
nineT Racer has an on-board computer as standard which
provides a large and clear display on a segmented screen of
the most important information such as time, active gear,
remaining range, trip distance, service interval and average
speed and
fuel consumption.
Sporty lightness and dynamic performance in Lightwhite
nonmetallic combined with multi-coloured decor.
The BMW R nineT Racer is finished in the color
Lightwhite non-metallic, which appears on the half-fairing,
the fuel tank, the front mudguard and the seat hump.
Enhanced by decor reminiscent of past BMW Motorsport
colours, it conveys a sense of light, dynamic and sporty
flair. The frame in Aluminium Silver is reserved exclusively
for the R nineT Racer, prominently presenting an
architectural contrast with the black drivetrain. The
passenger frame for optional additional attachment is
finished in black. Meanwhile, numerous aluminum forged
parts create skilfully accentuated technical contrasts.
