BMW has taken the wraps of its fresh R nineT. The new roadster was especially developed to mark “90 Years of BMW Motarrad” and comes with a comprehensive list of features that give it a fairly unique character.
At the heart of the motorcycle lies a 1,170 cc, air/oil-cooled, flat twin, boxer engine which cranks out a maximum output of 81 kW (110 hp) at 7,550 rpm and 119 Nm (88 lb-ft) of torque at 6,000 rpm.
The engine is mounted on a modern tubular steel spaceframe that sits on an advanced suspension system that includes an upside-down telescopic fork taken from the S 1000 RR and a paralever single-sided swingarm that works together with a central spring strut.
The motorcycle is also fitted with wire-spoke wheels with black anodized alloy, non-flanged rims, black aluminum hubs and stainless steel spokes. The stopping power is assured by radial 4-piston monoblock brake callipers that bite floating 320 millimeter (12.6 inch) brake discs. Needles to say that you also get BMW’s advanced ABS system for enhanced stopping power.
