BMW Concept Ninety
In collaboration with the customer bike company Roland Sands Design, the BMW Motorrad Design Team has created an exclusive homage to the BMW R 90 S. Roland Sands and his team have given the BMW Concept Ninety an exclusive self-assured appearance with technologically refined, top-quality custom parts, former motorcycle racer.
The original: the BMW R 90 S. With a top speed of just under 200 km/h, the BMW R 90 S was one of the fastest serial production motorcycles of its time. It was the first time a designer had created the perfect combination of form and function in a motorcycle development process. The BMW R 90 S was the first motorcycle ever to be fitted with a front trim section as standard, giving it an unmistakable appearance. Aerodynamically optimised front and rear trim elements were soon to be seen on motorcycles by other manufacturers, too. According to Edgar Heinrich, Head of BMW Motorrad Design: The BMW R 90 S goes back to a time when motorcyclists were regarded as social outlaws. There was something rebellious about them they were fast, noisy and wild. It was all about pure emotion. And it remains fascinating to this day.

Concept Ninety.
The aim of the BMW Concept Ninety is to show how reduced and pure an emotional
BMW motorcycle can be, explains Ola Stenegard, Head of BMW Motorrad Vehicle
Design. Its basic proportions are clearly geared towards the original: the
faring, fuel tank and rear section instantly reveal the bikes kinship with the
BMW R 90 S. The BMW Concept Ninety also echoes the separation of the
motorcycles proportions which was typical at the time: the trim is visually
distinct from the black engine and chassis sections. While halogen reflected the
technological state of the art in the original machine, cutting-edge LED
lighting elements give the BMW Concept Ninety its face today.
Custom parts made by Roland Sands Design.
Roland Sands Design created the parts especially for the BMW Concept Ninety in collaboration with the BMW Motorrad Design Team: I wanted to translate the special character of the BMW R 90 S into the modern age by means of unique parts based on emotional design and state-of-the-art technology. It just all goes together perfectly: BMW technology, BMW history and our customer parts are a great match, says Roland Sands. Unlike other custom bikes, the BMW Concept Ninety is designed to be ridden. The motorcycle itself and all parts are geared towards top-level performance.
