| == Overview ==
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Motorcycling has always been a
| |
| passionate lifestyle. For the past 90 years BMW Motorrad has been ensuring
| |
| that this remains the same in the future, too. For those who like it pure
| |
| and original, BMW Motorrad has now developed the perfect machine: the BMW R
| |
| nineT. A motorcycle featuring purist design and numerous ways of customizing
| |
| it.
| |
| BMW R nineT: Pure Authenticity.
| |
| Riding a motorcycle and feeling free. The BMW R nineT combines this feeling
| |
| with a casually cool look which, in spite of all the details, is unmistakably a
| |
| member of the BMW family. Further criteria such as ride feel, design and sound
| |
| lay the foundation for an independent, authentic lifestyle.
| |
| BMW R nineT: Pure Customizing
| |
| The BMW R nineT is powered by an air/oil-cooled 2-cylinder 4-stroke flat twin
| |
| engine. The instruments consisting of speedometer and tachometer harken back to
| |
| historical times and emphasize the essential and minimalist visual appeal of the
| |
| motorcycle. The BMW R nineT is equipped with an upside down fork at the front
| |
| and with the BMW Motorrad Paralever at the rear. However, the nineT does not
| |
| only stand out due to its pure design. The nineT offers great options for
| |
| individualization. No customizing wish is left unfilled. For example there is
| |
| the removable rear frame, enough space for 6 inch rims and many other options.
| |
| Even though the BMW R nineT offers so many modification opportunities it remains
| |
| a real BMW motorcycle from a technical point of view. Standard-fitted ABS
| |
| ensures highest-degree safety for the nineT, too.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| BMW R nineT. Pure Lifestyle.
| |
| Pure passion, pure design, pure riding pleasure. This is what makes the BMW R
| |
| nineT so essential for the classic enthusiast. Modify, ride, have fun. The nineT
| |
| leaves nothing to be desired with regard to customization. Design your
| |
| motorcycle, design your life. One name, one purist lifestyle:
| |
| BMW R nineT.
| |
| Created to mark 90 Years of BMW Motorrad
| |
| The 2014 BMW R nineT radiates both purity and power. It skillfully blends the
| |
| boxer engines iconic character and classic design traits of bygone motorcycle
| |
| eras with cutting-edge technology and a modular concept that offers a wide range
| |
| of customization opportunities.
| |
| The classic roadster bike is built for motorcycle enthusiasts who yearn for
| |
| unadulterated, stress-free riding pleasure. When designing the nineT, terms such
| |
| as purist simplicity, emotion and authentic, traditional materials were
| |
| high on the list of priorities. Styling cues from old-school motorcycle
| |
| production are united with the very latest drive and chassis components on the
| |
| nineT to produce a sensational motorcycle that is just as adept at cruising
| |
| serenely as it is powering down country roads.
| |
| Powered by a classic boxer engine.
| |
| Like BMWs first-ever motorcycle the legendary 1923 BMW R 32 the new BMW
| |
| R nineT is powered by a classic flat twin boxer engine which delivers quick
| |
| acceleration from a standstill. This construction principle has been synonymous
| |
| with unmistakable design, abundant torque delivery and inimitable acoustics for
| |
| 90 years. The nineT employs the 1,170 cc air/oil-cooled boxer unit which
| |
| produces 81 kW (110 hp) at 7,550 rpm and produces a maximum torque of 119 Nm (88
| |
| lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Conceived for maximum customization.
| |
| The nineT pools together genes from 90 years of BMW Motorrad in a unique
| |
| concept designed to appeal to customization fans. During each stage of the
| |
| roadsters development, focus was placed on enabling riders to tailor it to
| |
| their personal preferences in a variety of ways. The choice of modifications
| |
| ranges from BMW Motorrad genuine accessories to custom-made add-on or accessory
| |
| parts from specialist customizers.
| |
| The ability to customize the nineT is largely due to its special frame
| |
| concept. The tubular steel spaceframe that was specially developed for the nineT
| |
| incorporates the boxer engine as a load-bearing element. The frames basic
| |
| construction consists of a front frame section with integral steering head and a
| |
| rear section with swingarm mounting.
| |
| The removable pillion frame allows the nineT to offer a stylish design
| |
| whether riding two up or solo. With the aluminum tail cover available as a
| |
| special accessory, the nineT has a look that is reminiscent of early café
| |
| racers.
| |
| Exhaust positioned on left with twin silencers (mufflers) and customization
| |
| options.
| |
| The exhaust system that runs down the left-hand side with two silencers
| |
| (mufflers) placed one above the other is fully in keeping with the concept of a
| |
| classic sporty roadster. There is room for customization here too, courtesy of
| |
| the BMW Motorrad accessory range. Adding a real touch of technical finesse to
| |
| the nineT, for instance, is the Akrapovic unit made of titanium. By installing a
| |
| short or long connecting pipe, the silencer can be mounted in either a lowered
| |
| or a raised position, radically altering the appearance and character of the
| |
| nineT.
| |
| Traditional chassis design combined with high-performance technology.
| |
| The telelever usually equipped on the boxer models from BMW Motorrad has been
| |
| replaced on the BMW R nineT by an upside-down telescopic fork borrowed from the
| |
| S 1000 RR superbike, resulting in a distinctly classic look paired with top-tier
| |
| engineering. The rear suspension employs the paralever single-sided swingarm in
| |
| conjunction with a central spring strut.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| The housing for the rear axle drive includes three mounting points that can
| |
| be used to attach a bracket for positioning the license plate and brake/tail
| |
| light unit on one side. Whats more, the swingarm on the nineT is designed in
| |
| such a way that a 17-inch wheel with a width of 6 inches can be substituted for
| |
| the standard 5.5-inch-wide version, if permitted.
| |
| Designed as an out-and-out roadster, the nineT follows in the tire tracks of
| |
| role models from the past by featuring wire-spoke wheels with black anodized
| |
| alloy, non-flanged rims, black aluminum hubs and stainless steel spokes. Radial
| |
| 4-piston monoblock brake callipers work in unison with floating 320 millimeter
| |
| (12.6 inch) brake discs and BMW Motorrad ABS to provide definitive stopping
| |
| power.
| |
| Pared-down design and hand-built character.
| |
|
| |
| One of the overriding design objectives was to reduce the bodywork as much as
| |
| possible to achieve a purist look. The attention to detail that consistently
| |
| infused the work of the designers and engineers on the nineT is evident
| |
| throughout.
| |
| The sides of the 18-liter (4.8 gallon) aluminum tank have been painstakingly
| |
| brushed by hand and then coated. The aluminum plate with embossed nineT
| |
| lettering on the right above the air intake duct is another example of the
| |
| bikes hand-built character.
| |
| The surfaces of many forged aluminum parts, including the yokes and the
| |
| handlebar clamp bracket with BMW Motorrad lettering, have been glass
| |
| bead-blasted and then given a natural anodized finish. The circular headlamp
| |
| with the BMW emblem in the center of the bulb cover pays homage to previous role
| |
| models from 90 years of BMW Motorrad.
| |
| A classic Black Storm Metallic paint finish with contrasting silver and
| |
| metallic highlights was chosen to complement the character of the nineT.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Specially designed electrical system to allow plenty of scope for
| |
| customization.
| |
| The bikes electrical system has been specially configured for greater
| |
| technical flexibility, facilitating the installation of alternative electrical
| |
| components, such as headlights or turn indicators.
| |
| Technology.
| |
| BMW R nineT classic roadster with a powerful, customizable character.
| |
| To mark the companys 90th anniversary, BMW Motorrad is presenting the BMW R
| |
| nineT as a commemorative model for enthusiasts and customers alike. The nineT
| |
| embodies the brand values of 90 years of BMW Motorrad and neatly sums up the
| |
| companys illustrious past with a unique concept, pure riding pleasure, a
| |
| classic pure design, and a deliberate focus on the technical essentials. This is
| |
| a classic roadster model exuding style and expressiveness -- the perfect choice
| |
| for anyone looking for a pure, unadulterated bike with thrilling on-road
| |
| performance.
| |
| But theres more to the BMW R nineT than being a BMW motorcycle with an
| |
| unprecedented design. Besides its technical functionality, the BMW Motorrad
| |
| development team also paid close attention to the emotional bond between man and
| |
| machine all in keeping with the principle that, apart from working flawlessly
| |
| on a technical level, a motorcycle must also stimulate all of its riders
| |
| senses, trigger strong emotions and provide non-stop thrills, whether its
| |
| pulling up in front of a café or riding along country roads.
| |
| To this effect, the nineT employs definitive styling cues from past
| |
| motorcycle eras and yet this is no retro bike. Rather, it synthesizes
| |
| state-of-the-art technical features from high-performance sports machines with
| |
| classic principles derived from 90 years of BMW Motorrad, and applies them with
| |
| compelling handcraftsmanship.
| |
| Ideally suited for customization.
| |
| Customization allows motorcycles to be tailored to the owners personal
| |
| preferences. Possible enhancements range from the usual, original accessories to
| |
| limited individual components or even one-off designs.
| |
| With the nineT, BMW Motorrad is appealing to the desire of many motorcycle
| |
| enthusiasts who wish to be creative with their bike and modify it to suit their
| |
| individual taste and intended use.
| |
| As a result, not only does the new BMW R nineT boast a particularly
| |
| sophisticated overall concept that lends itself to being individually modified,
| |
| it also includes some far-reaching technical provisions for undertaking further
| |
| customization work beyond choosing from the extensive range of special equipment
| |
| from BMW Motorrad.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| As such, the nineT and its unique design concept revolutionize the
| |
| interaction between rider and machine. For the first time, customers can become
| |
| actively involved in designing their BMW, a process which entails far more than
| |
| simply adding optional extras or special accessories, as is usually the case.
| |
| Taking the existing central components of engine and chassis as a basis, the
| |
| nineT rider has a wealth of options for individually customizing it as they
| |
| please.
| |
| Spirited BMW Motorrad boxer engine with short secondary transmission ratio
| |
| for dynamic riding pleasure.
| |
| For 90 years, the longitudinal twin-cylinder boxer engine and power
| |
| transmission by means of a cardan shaft drive have been synonymous with BMW
| |
| motorcycles. Consequently, there could be no other choice when it came to
| |
| selecting the drive configuration for this project, which was, after all,
| |
| initiated to commemorate 90 Years of BMW Motorrad.
| |
| Ever since the first BMW motorcycle the R 32 made its debut in 1923, BMW
| |
| Motorrad boxer engines have been renowned for unmistakable, rugged design,
| |
| abundant torque delivery and an unrivalled sound. The BMW R nineT features the
| |
| air/oil-cooled 1,170 cc boxer engine with a bore of 101 millimeters and a stroke
| |
| of 73 millimeters that is already familiar on numerous BMW Motorrad models.
| |
| Output peaks at 81 kW (110 hp) at 7,550 rpm, while maximum torque of 119 Nm (88
| |
| lb-ft) is generated at 6,000 rpm and the rev ceiling is set at 8,500 rpm.
| |
| The valves are installed in a radial arrangement in the combustion chamber
| |
| and their timing is controlled by means of chain-driven double overhead
| |
| camshafts (DOHC) for each cylinder. The valves are actuated by cam followers of
| |
| a very lightweight design, making them ideal for higher rpm, while lightweight
| |
| hemispherical shims are used for valve clearance compensation.
| |
| Power is transmitted to the rear wheel via the proven six-speed gearbox and
| |
| the cardan shaft drive. In keeping with the dynamic character of the nineT, the
| |
| secondary transmission ratio of the pinion and ring gear has been lowered for
| |
| optimum accelerating power and the smoothest possible gear shifts.
| |
| Twin-pipe exhaust on left-hand side for inimitable boxer sound.
| |
|
| |
| The exhaust system that runs down the left-hand side, with two silencers
| |
| (mufflers) in blasted stainless steel positioned one above the other, fits
| |
| perfectly with the notion of a classically designed, sporty roadster. Indeed, it
| |
| is a design that has been used in similar form in the past, for example on sport
| |
| and racing bikes in the 60s and 70s. The BMW R nineT also features an acoustic
| |
| valve operated by an electric servomotor and opening and closing cables to
| |
| deliver the deep resonant boxer sound that riders favor while remaining within
| |
| legal sound limits.
| |
| The BMW Motorrad accessory range for the nineT offers customers various
| |
| options for the exhaust system that allow the nineT to be adapted to personal
| |
| tastes. Installing the Akrapovic silencer/muffler in titanium with carbon heat
| |
| shields, for instance, adds a special touch of technical finesse. There is also
| |
| the option of lowering or raising the exhaust system by installing a short or
| |
| long connecting pipe to the front silencer/muffler, opening up even greater
| |
| possibilities for the bikes styling and giving it more of a café racer or
| |
| scrambler feel.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Modular frame concept for a host of possible variations.
| |
| The nineT features a specially designed frame concept that also permits
| |
| customization. The previous frame design has been replaced by a completely,
| |
| newly developed tubular steel spaceframe on the BMW R nineT, with a modular
| |
| construction consisting of four components: a front main frame, a rear main
| |
| frame, a frame end-piece as well as a pillion frame, which are all bolted to one
| |
| another.
| |
| With its removable frame end-piece and pillion frame, the BMW R nineT offers
| |
| customers plenty of possibilities for varying the visual appearance and
| |
| character of the sporty roadster model to suit their preferences.
| |
| This is a bike built for keen performance, so the geometry of the nineT
| |
| chassis has been configured first and foremost for superb handling and riding
| |
| pleasure on winding country roads. The wheelbase measures 58.1 inches, the trail
| |
| 4.04 inches and the Steering Head Angle 64.5 degrees.
| |
| From a roadster for two to a sporty racer for one.
| |
| The BMW R nineT leaves the factory in the form of a classic, sporty roadster
| |
| that can carry two people. Despite the low riders seat height (approx. 30.9
| |
| inches) and narrow straddle width, both rider and pillion passenger can be
| |
| seated comfortably. The optional comfort rear seat provides both a larger seat
| |
| area and extra cushioning for the passenger.
| |
| If sporty solo riding is on the agenda, the pillion frame can be removed by
| |
| undoing its eight bolts. An aluminum tail cover can also be installed to
| |
| complete the classic café racer look.
| |
| The custom riders seat with its slender, low-slung design combines with the
| |
| classy nineT lettering to reveal the bikes character as an uncompromising
| |
| riding machine that has been pared down to the absolute essentials.
| |
| Classic wheel suspension featuring upside-down telescopic fork at the front
| |
| and paralever at the rear.
| |
| The telelever front suspension usually installed on the boxer models from BMW
| |
| Motorrad has been replaced on the BMW R nineT by a premium upside-down
| |
| telescopic fork borrowed from the S 1000 RR superbike, producing an even more
| |
| harmonious classic look and enabling more extensive chassis modifications to be
| |
| carried out far more easily. Spring travel is 120 millimeters (4.7 inches).
| |
| Wheel location at the rear is by the proven paralever single-sided swingarm
| |
| used on the remaining air/oil-cooled generation of boxer models. The task of
| |
| wheel suspension and damping is performed by a central spring strut with a
| |
| spring painted in white. The spring preload can be adjusted hydraulically with
| |
| ease using a hand wheel made from forged aluminum, while the rebound damping is
| |
| infinitely adjustable. Spring travel is likewise 120 millimeters (4.7 inches).
| |
| The housing for the rear axle drive incorporates an innovative feature for
| |
| further customizing the nineT. The housing, as on the other boxer models,
| |
| includes three mounting points that can be used, for example, to attach a
| |
| bracket for positioning the license plate on one side together with the light
| |
| unit. The nineT also has so much room between the silencers (mufflers) and
| |
| swingarm that the standard 5.5-inch-wide 17-inch wheel can be replaced with a
| |
| 6-inch-wide version. Such modifications, however, are dependent upon state and
| |
| federal regulations.
| |
| Traditional wire-spoke wheels and high-performance brakes.
| |
| In traditional roadster fashion, the new BMW R nineT rides on high-quality
| |
| wire-spoke wheels comprising black anodized alloy non-flanged rims, cast
| |
| aluminum hubs, stainless steel spokes as well as tubed tires, size 120/70 ZR 17
| |
| at the front and 180/55 ZR 17 at the rear.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| The 17-inch wheels and the tire sizes represent the state of the art for
| |
| sporty motorcycles designed for performance riding, while the stainless steel
| |
| wire spokes and the black hubs and rims evoke the trademark styling cues and
| |
| flair of bygone eras from 90 years of BMW Motorrad.
| |
| This creates a stark contrast to the sophisticated high-performance twin-disc
| |
| brake that is more than a match for the dynamic performance abilities of the
| |
| nineT. Featuring radial 4-piston monoblock brake callipers, steel-braided brake
| |
| lines and floating 320 mm (12.6 inch) brake discs, it ensures superior,
| |
| fade-resistant stopping power even on the sportiest of rides. Braking power at
| |
| the rear is provided by a 265 mm (10.4 inch) single-disc brake with twin-piston
| |
| floating caliper. The nineT already comes equipped as standard with BMW
| |
| Motorrad ABS, as do all BMW motorcycles.
| |
| Specially designed electrical system boosts scope for customization.
| |
| The electronics have undergone a thorough overhaul to allow more extensive
| |
| modification of the nineTs technology. For example, the parameters and
| |
| interfaces in the bikes electrical system have been configured to enable
| |
| alternative electrical components, such as headlights or indicators, to be
| |
| installed as required.
| |
| Separating the engine and vehicle wiring harnesses keeps the amount of work
| |
| involved to a manageable level even when carrying out major modifications to the
| |
| motorcycle. This is an important consideration for professional customizers.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Note Modifications to the BMW R nineT may void your BMW Limited Warranty.
| |
| Any technical modifications should comply with all applicable federal, state and
| |
| local laws.
| |
| Design, workmanship and color scheme.
| |
| Pared down styling and hand-built character.
| |
| Whether with high- or low-mounted exhaust system, sporty aluminum tail cover
| |
| or double seat the nineT has many different appearances, but they are all
| |
| equally compelling.
| |
| In silhouette, the BMW R nineT is the epitome of casual elegance. The boxer
| |
| engine, compact fuel tank and lean tail-end styling are just some of the
| |
| features that help to give this bike its classic BMW Motorrad roadster
| |
| proportions.
| |
| One of the designers main goals was to give the body a pared-down,
| |
| back-to-basics look. This focus on only the most basic design elements of the
| |
| motorcycle allows the nineT to express stylish individuality using just a small
| |
| number of additional crafted components. From every angle, the appearance of the
| |
| nineT is defined by a mix of classic and modern motorcycle styling themes,
| |
| combined with high-quality surface finishes.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| The front.
| |
| The nineTs classic round headlamp the central focus of the front
| |
| silhouette projects a sense of maturity and poise. A powerful high-tech
| |
| contrast is provided by the gold-anodized outer tubes in the upside-down forks,
| |
| while the classic shape of the boxer engine helps to create lean overall lines.
| |
| The instrument cluster, comprising two classic round speedometer and
| |
| tachometer gauges, is smoothly and harmoniously integrated into the overall
| |
| front-end design. The simple styling of these gauges reflects the classic
| |
| inspiration behind the nineTs engineering, but at the same time incorporates
| |
| the convenience and amenities of modern technology. For example, the nineT comes
| |
| equipped with an onboard computer that shows key information such as time of
| |
| day, engaged gear, remaining range, trip mileage, servicing interval and average
| |
| speed and fuel consumption very clearly in a large, segmented display.
| |
| The tank.
| |
| The 4.8-gallon aluminum tank and the aluminum plate with embossed nineT
| |
| lettering over the air intake on the right-hand side are eye-catching elements.
| |
| The nineTs high standards of manufacturing quality are reflected in the
| |
| meticulously hand-brushed and coated tank sides which accentuate the grain of
| |
| the aluminum to full effect. The knee area can be further customized with
| |
| optional classic-style rubber kneepads. Like the brushed aluminum tank surfaces,
| |
| the air intake cover is naturally anodized and its finely brushed, high-tech
| |
| surface neatly round out the styling in this area. The separate comfort rear
| |
| seat cover is also made of aluminum, with a similar surface finish.
| |

| |
| Features and Benefits
| |
| Attention to detail.
| |
| Many details draw attention to the nineTs high-quality, hand-built
| |
| character. For example, the yokes with their tapered bolt bosses and the tapered
| |
| steering damper mount are superior forged aluminum parts with glass-bead-blasted
| |
| and naturally anodized finish. Also made of aluminum, the clamp bracket for the
| |
| tapered aluminum handlebars has embossed BMW Motorrad lettering, while the
| |
| riveted model plate on the steering head reminiscent of classic BMW motorcycle
| |
| designs is further evidence of the meticulous attention to detail that has
| |
| gone into the development of the nineT.
| |
| References to historic forerunners from 90 years of BMW Motorrad
| |
| manufacturing can be seen in the wire-spoked wheels with black rims and the
| |
| headlamp with its sheet steel housing and BMW emblem centrally positioned on the
| |
| bulb cover. An unusual feature is the vertical mounting of the headlamp by means
| |
| of a meticulously finished aluminum bracket connected to the lower yoke. The
| |
| nineT also boasts white turn signal lenses and an LED rear light.
| |
| The front fender is bolted by two forged brackets to the fork bases and is
| |
| one of many details that exemplifies the nineTs allegiance to classic
| |
| motorcycle styling themes. Again, a glass-bead-blasted and naturally anodized
| |
| finish demonstrates the high-quality workmanship of the nineT. Forged parts,
| |
| such as the aluminum seat mount or the adjustment knob for the shock absorber,
| |
| are likewise glass bead-blasted and naturally anodized.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| The narrowed seat, too, boasts a high-quality, hand-built feel. It is trimmed

| with high-quality leather-effect material and edged with a contrasting white,
| |
| hand-sewn double lap seam. On the left rear edge of the riders seat is a small
| |
| fabric label with a blue nineT logo.
| |
| Classic yet modern color scheme.
| |
| The new BMW R nineT is available in only one color scheme. Matching the
| |
| character of the bike, this is based on classic black (Black Storm Metallic),
| |
| with silver and metallic contrasts.
| |
| The classic, pared down elegance of the nineT is supported by black anodized
| |
| components such as the frame and engine block. These contrasts and a high-tech
| |
| look and feel are provided by the gold-anodized fork tubes and numerous aluminum
| |
| surfaces with various grains. In the drivetrain area, the paralever swingarm and
| |
| magnesium valve covers are accentuated in Granite Grey Metallic Matt.
| |
| The main body of the two-tone fuel tank of the nineT is finished in Black
| |
| Storm Metallic, while its sides are meticulously brushed and coated in aluminum.
