LE MOTOGRAPHE’S BMW R NINET

Post by Skub »

I'll admit to a soft spot for this bike,maybe a good mix of the characterful old boxer layout,but with a modern touch.

Bikebound don't like that I use a VPN, the site and pictures don't load unless I turn it off. Mildly peeving.

It's nice, but isn't it a RnineT with some bolt on parts?

I think the same about the 'Urban' version.

Yep. I think the factory version is pretty good, this appears to only have subtle changes apart from the exhaust which isn't so subtle, but nice.https://www.bmwmotorcycles.com/en/model ... ninet.html

They've taken a couple of bits off too in fairness.
